Need a recommendation on esc
 

I need to pick up a new esc I have an associated 8.2e 1/8 scale buggy it has tacon 1900 kv sensorless motor in it and I'm using a 4s 6500 mah battery can you guys recommend a good esc for it I am hoping to eventually race it once I learn to drive it better but not right now basically need something to have fun and learn with thanks

You can't beat HobbyWing or Tekin. What's your budget?

Kinda looking for a esc motor combo now was told that there are better options for a motor for a car like that to go like 2200 or 2650 kv I'll loose a bit of torque but gain top speed am I thinking right there?

You can get great combos from both HobbyWing and Tekin.

Correct, higher kV means more speed, but less torque as a general rule.

I would agree Hobbywing XR8 or Tekin RX8 with 1900kv on 4s for 1/8e buggy. My preference is always Hobbywing over Tekin any day of the week. I have both but prefer the HW. I've had a couple Tekin RX8 G2's fail over the last couple years however I've never had a HW esc or motor fail in 1/8 or 1/10.

You can go with a higher kv motor but you'll get the best results with the 1900kv which you can gear a bit harder than a higher kv motor as well.
