I only have a 540 7.5 and an old quantum comp (without fan) on a relatively flat and wide open track. I could use a bit more umph and temps are running pretty hot. I picked up the 13mm to try to decrease the heat, but ultimately assume I'll want to get a 550 can.

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.
