RX8G2 and the Hobbywing 3656sd 4700kv best combo I have ever run. I have all the torque and top end that I could ever want and the thing runs great temp. wise never put a temp gun I use the finger burning its too hot method and its never let me down. Save a couple bucks go with the SCT Pro ESC but if you want the whole enchilada go with the RX8G2, I like enchilada's.
