Some of these other guys are recommending the Hobbywing systems. I didnt think to recommend them because you mentioned that you like racing bred equipment. But, if you are looking to save money I would recommend these to anyone for a high performance, low cost system that is proven to be durable. I have a few of the cheaper Hobbywing systems and they are just as nice as Novak or Castle, but the Hobbywing is made in China and does not have a racing pedigree like the others. Hobbypartz.com has good deals on combos if you are interested.
