I might run boost later, so we should take that into consideration. I know everyone hates threads like these, but i have been looking around and haven't found information on some of these. Below are the different combo's i am considering. Thank you for your assistance.

LRP Flow Works / X20 13.5 - Oldy but goodie? This was my favorite but i'm not sure if its getting replaced soon.
R1 ESC / V11 13.5 - Have not found any reputable information about this one, a guy at the track recommended.
Hobbywing XR10 / 13.5 Combo - Not sure about their motors, but hear the esc is nice.
SMC 170 / Totemic 13.5 - I liked their battery's
Is Orion R10 still cool?
Reedy 510?

Would like to keep it around $300, I have a B64 coming soon that I need to outfit and a couple cars for my boys.
I would go with the SMC combo. Those ESC's are easy to setup with the program box and I've only heard good things about their motors. I even picked one up myself. Plus that price is fantastic
