Was thinking about this motor/esc combo?
Tekin RX8 GEN2/Redline T8 GEN2 1/8 Buggy Brushless ESC/Motor Combo (1900kV)

but i am unsure of what batteries or battery to get or charger.
Im very new to electric and really dont know whats good or whats not.

HobbyWing XR8 PLUS ESC is also a good alternative,
I run it in my MP9e TKI4 with a Tekin T8 Gen2 1900kv.

They also have the Xerun 4268 SD G2 1900kv motor.

I run nVision 6500 mAh 4S batteries (90C), and after a season they seem just as good.
They give me 16mins runtime.

My tip is: Don't try to save money on the batteries...

Get the 1900 kv motor from this company

SMC-racing.net. I had a Tekin 1900 kv motor and could not tell the difference.

ESC - I use a Hobbywing SCT Pro on 4S. It is about $90. Also consider the HW mentioned above. Get the program card for your ESC choice.

Batteries... Get SMC or Pro-match racing..

I disagree with the guy that says do not buy cheap batteries. E-buggies are so overpowered. Hence, a 5000 mah 50c battery will be fine. Of course one can get higher mah if you want. How large is your track? Do not keep your batteries on full charge for more than one day. It is best to discharge the batteries on race day. If you ran your batteries for a race, they will basically be discharged.
