That being said, for a motor I would go with ether the Team Epic 4XS 4800kv, or the Tekin Pro4 4600kv. For the ESC my first choice would be The Orion Vorex R10 Pro 2s/3s. It has the highest current rating for a 1/10th scale size ESC. Next would be the Tekin RX8. The RX8 is a great ESC. I really like Tekin, and run nothing but their stuff, but if (and that is a huge if because I hate 4wd SC) I had a 4wd SC I would not want to run the RX8. It would be nice to have the piece of mind because the RX8 is designed for 1/8th scale, but it is just way to large. I am really surprised that Tekin has not come out with an ESC that is optimized for the higher current demands of a 4 pole motor run on 2s, and a footprint somewhere between an RS Pro and an RX8. Tekin are you listening?
