I'm converting my 8ight 1.0 to electric and need to know what a good bang for the buck ESC/Motor combo is. I want something that is capable of winning races, but not break the bank.
I'll likely be running 5000+ 4S lipo's.
Motors:
I've so far used the Castle 2200kv, Tekin 1900kv and Tekin 2050kv motors. I think the Tekin 1900kv was the best combination of power and run time for racing. Although, if you are running a huge track, like Revelations raceway, the Castle 2200kv is probably the better choice. You will still need some throttle control though as it is a monster.
ESC's:
I've use the Tekin RX8 and Castle MMM V3. The Tekin will provide smoother power, but the Castle is more reliable and cheaper. I lean a little more to the Castle. Both are good though.
Hope this helps.
