I see references to "little green" and others when referring to motors. I see hobbywing 120A commonly referenced, but that appears to only support up to a 540 can at 5.5t (or is this just their official recommendation and it can actually do quite a bit more). In most people's opinion, what is the "best" combo for motor/esc that people are getting that is budget friendly for those of us just picking up this truck?
Thanks.
Hands down.

Was an even more kick ace deal when they where $107 or so. I remember seeing the combo on sale around x-mas for $85
Take the fan and put it on the esc. Gear to around 10.6:1, that would be 14/58 or 15/62, or there abouts.
For the money it cain't be beat.
