Default esc and motor combo

Ok looking to turn my CK into a great trail truck. I want to do some crawling, mudding, water splashing, and just tearing through the woods. So because of the water thing I am thinking about going with a brushed motor. I am also not wanting a fast truck but one that is at least walking speed. Do you guys have any ideas of a good set up based on what i am looking to do. I am very new to crawling so be easy on me.

You could always grab a Traxxas XL-5 waterproof esc, and then a reasonably priced 35-45t motor.

You could go with the mamba max pro and 4600kv on 6cell. Is that walking speed? No all shit aside, the fxr is a great esc and the 35turn will give you slightly faster speed than a brisk walk.
Really, you should ask yourself some questions first. How much do you want to spend? Can you waterproof it yourself? Will you be using it on different rigs also? Do you have lipo or og giant pack batteries? From there you can make the best decision. Good luck.
