Default Brushless ESC reccomendations

I just picked up a brushless 1/10 buggy "roller" with a novak 10.5T motor. Does anyone have any sugesstions for an ESC that wont break the bank?

Thanks,

Pete

You can get a mmpro for $110 from RC-monster. My favorite 1/10 speedo on the market right now. Plus they have the best cs out there if and when you need it.

I run a mamba max pro in my t4.1. its awesome. It can run sensored or sensorless motors, you can hook it up to a computer and program advanced things. It is highly reccomended.
there are also guys that run a speed passion speedo and they really like them

I also like the MMpro, but it might be a little too big to comfortably fit in some 10th buggies. Speed Passion is great too, its just a re-branded Hobbywing, but SP does their own programming and customer service.

I run the Sidewinder V2 pushing the Velineon 10.5 with my B4. It runs great and never gets above 100F. Sells for $67.

Also run the Sidewinder SCT system in my SC10 and it is solid, I believe that the SCT and V2 esc are the same. Sells for $100 or so. However the SCT combo comes with the 4 pole 3800kv that I really love.
