I like r1 for esc, motor, and battery. There's a handful of motors out there I would like to try that aren't r1.

For servo nsdrc ss400. I have a protek 160t on my 21.5 buggy but that's starting to die out/glitch. I have an older ss400 on my 17.5 buggy but that one is still running strong with no issues I can think of.

Radio flysky noble. The older one was a deal. The newer one priced more accordingly.
