1. Many racers are using Murfdogg Motors in SCT, with great success due to their overall performance. Running an ESC with any stock motor to provide advance timing would help provide better prerformance. A Murfdogg Motor with a Tekin ESC does provide an abundant amount of usable power and is what I personally chose, after testing several top ESC's and Motors earlier this season. You would definitely not be dissapointed in this combo and the owner Matt Murphy, stands behind each motor, providing outstanding costomer care.
2. Electronics should last if properly maintained and not abused, regardless of brand. The Murfdogg Motors are strong and very durable.
3. Non-boosted, these motors perform exceptionaly well, if not better than all the other brands. I'd recommend visiting the Murfdogg RCTech thread and reading real user feedback and www.murfdogg.com . Also, I've seen a few guys posting there that may be able to give you some info on using motors with Mamba and Novak ESC's.
Hope this assist you in future decisions and gets you back on the track enjoying RC!
