Default Budget brushless

Ive searched and cand find what I'm looking for,
I'm looking for a budget brushless set up for my slash, I'll be running 7 cell 4600's nimh batteries. My choices are the Sidewinder 4600 or 5700, VXL, Novak Havok 8.5, or the LRP 9.5 I think the lrp is the most expensive at 159 from tower. I mostly just backyard race with my freinds, we are all planning on getting the same brushless set up. Thanks for your imput.

Novak is releasing a new Havoc system: the Havoc 3S/Ballistic 8.5 motor for @164.99. It can handle up to nine NiMH batteries.

I have head good experiences with both the VXL and the MM 5700. The only problem is that the 5700 sometimes gets hot on a three cell lipo. Im sure you wont have this problem on a 7cell NIMH pack.

Sidewinder 4600 for a Slash on 2S lipo is perfect.

Sidewinder 4600 or 5700 gets my vote too
