I talked to a couple guys from my local track and it seems mod is a little more popular then stock. So my question is what’s the go to for mod esc/motors? I always ran Tekin in my 1/8 stuff and had good luck. Now it seems like a lot of the other stuff is close in price to Tekin and stuff like hobbywing seems to be more popular. Does it matter as much in mod? Are some of these newer brand good? Maclan? Performa? R1 wursts? I know everyone has personal preferences but just wondering if there’s a clear best nowadays
