Point is the wife let slip she has gotten me an AE B4 (She knew 2WD was my class). But I have zero idea where to start with motor and ESC... a combo in the $200 range would be sweet while I get my feet wet.

Any ideas? Bear in mind, I read through this thread and it is all greek to me. I gather censored is the way to go with 2WD (Last time I owned and raced it was brushed and NiCad!).

Any guidance appreciated!
i'm running xerun 60a 10.5 combo in a b4 , no problems , but i did find it lacked a little power . i then bought the lcd box for $23 and loaded the sp 303 stock firmware to the speedy . no gearing changes and ive gained at a geuss 15kmh in a straight line and heaps of punch , this is with moderate boost . i could wind it up more but anymore would be impractical . i'm honestly blown away at the difference
