Full race:
- HW XR10 Pro ESC
- Trinity Slot Machine or Fantom Icon or R1 Wurks motors (they each have "team" editions as options too)
- Lots of good servo options here but I see most people run Protek 160TBLs
- Protek LCG 4800 is my go-to battery, but lots of brands make a similar version
- Sanwa M17 radio
Competitive - you're saving few bucks but are unlikely to hold you back at all on the track:
- HW xr10 stock spec (saves you $50+ over the Pro with minimal difference in performance and you gain some weight savings
- Non-team versions of the motors above
- Protek 160T or a $100ish savox
- Still recommend the Protek LCG 4800
- Agree with the poster above, Sanwa MT-5 or Futaba 4PM, but you could also check out the Flysky
I also recommend talking to the guys at the shop at the track you'll be racing at to get a gauge on their support for these products. I don't expect there to be a lot of support issues with these brands but always worth checking. For example, if they don't carry Protek servo gear kits, you'll be SOL if your Protek servo strips a gear while racing. I also try to spend as much of my money at my local shop to help keep the lights on.
