Personally I would run a tekin rx8 esc and your choice of remain motor. The rx8 can handle just about anything you throw at it and it has a lot of tuning options
 
I have the rx8/T-8 combo. Had it in a slash 4x4. Broke diffs left and right on 3s. And no I wasn't bashing it too much they would sometimes break going down my street! My buddy had a mamba monster 2650 and broke nothing. Plus the tekin is sensored. That right there is worth it.
