Default ESC Suggestions

Building my first crawler. I want to get a HH Torquemaster BR-XL ESC but they are not available for approx. 5 weeks and I want to run this thing now. I am looking for suggestions on what I should get in the mean time. I have been reading that the FXR is having problems and don't know if I should go that route. Maybe a CC sidewinder??? Also should I be using a ccbec? I will be going with a 2 or 3 cell Lipo.

Thanks for your suggestions,
Neil

I would go with the sidewinder and a 3 cell with a bec I have this setup in 3 trucks of mine and never had a problem and I believe the Goat 3 cell esc is for brushless motors.

well if you have to have it going asap get a mamba max, but if you can wait for the holmes then wait, i personaly know John and have seen the esc and it will take the abuse!
