Hey everyone,
I have had my pro 2 for.... gosh.... 15+ years. I love it and still find it very competitive whooping on kids at events. I pulled it off the shelf the other day and sadly the thing is acting strange.

It currently has a HPI Vapor ESC and Motor. When i power it up, it locks the motor solid like its fighting itself. Im guessing its toast and i never really liked the size of it anyway.

Whats a good ESC/Motor combo that would be a good fit for just zipping up and down the street.... gotta be fast!
Everything looks so huge online!

Any EZ-run knockoff combo should do the job fine, from any of the many copycats/rebadgers

HPI RS4 Pro 2... my first real competition level RC car, way back then... Got some pictures?

For a new combo, just make sure you don't overdo it. The ball diff of that oldie wasn't really designed for brushless power - so keep it somewhat moderate. Sorry, as a racing guy, I only think in sensored mode, so that's all I have any experience with:

e.g. Hobbwing XERUN XR10-Justock COMBO ist available with either 10.5T/13.5T/17.5T/21.5T motors... 13.5T should be enough power (if you insist you could try 10.5T as well, but remember: higher speed = bigger damage.)
