I just bought a takeout AE5 axial esc from ebay for $25. Should make a fine esc and waterproof too. Price is right if you aren't running brushless or need all of the fine control of the high dollar units.

I like my ae5. Works great and haven't had a single issue with. Works way better than a couple high dollar units I have.

The AE5 is lipo ready too, used to run the buzzer but it is annoying and sometimes my 7 y/o didn't hear it.....not sure how.....no worries now.

Spend the $15 on a pair of iron crosses and get ya some MIP CVD's
Then you can worry about blasting the spur gear

Getting out of the hobby? I got out once (not by my choice) and I sure did miss it. I'm back to stay now!

Brand new here, been into the hobby for 25 years. First time buying a crawler. This thread is awesome! Just ordered an E10, pair of Axial AX30500 and pair of AX80002 off EBAY. $156.42 well spent. Cant wait to get it and start playing. Thanks to everyone in this tread for the great information. I do have one question, i'd like to go with a better motor. What can the stock ESC handle?

I've run 2s and a 20T on mine. Heard of guy's running 3s Lipos, but I wouldn't recommend it. Get a BEC while you're at it. I run a 35T and Nimh in my daughters E10 and it works great. Stock gearing, decent wheel speed (for a crawler) and 45 minute+ run times.
