I actually think the mamba monster refurb is going to be your best bet based on the $$$$ you want to spend.

Yeah, I did. It's a cheap, China made motor. If you want quality, you're gonna pay $$$ for it. The first thing you learn in 1/8th scale racing, especially electric, is that you get what you pay for. If you want stuff that takes the abuse and lasts, you need to coin up and buy Tekin or Castle Creations ESC and motors. The EZRun, Hobbywing, Feiago, etc. stuff might hold up, but it might not even handle normal usage, let alone hard racing level abuse.

Lol, you do realize that in your first post, you were looking to buy a 1/8th electric capable ESC for less than what a decent 1/10th, 2S lipo max ESC costs?
