It's only for fun, not racing.
You could use either a Castle 1818 4 pole motor or a Toro 1/18th 4 pole motor. Both are great options. For $35, I went with the Toro setup and I will be testing it up against the $100 Castle Micro Mamba system. You could also use the Dynamite Micro Fuze esc which is rated at 30 amp and waterproof, same one that came with the Losi Mini-8ight.
