Thoughts?
If this will be your first 2wd buggy, I suggest to learn on a 17.5 motor. 2WD buggies are super sensitive and can be twitchy. Box setup, 17.5, local track tires, take your time on the build, and just learn to get a lot of laps in before trying to make major changes.
Hobbywing makes a great ESC (same makers of the Orion speedos). The 90a will run a 7.5 and 17.5 perfectly.
