I'm thinking a Tekin 8.5 (5300kv) may be good for the motor, but I'm not sure on the ESC. I'd take reliability over performance. I know the the MMP well proven and I hear the Tekin RS is the best performer. My budget isn't huge for this also. Any tips?

I have been running the Hobbywing Xerun 60a V2.1 with 8.5t 4000kv motor pinion to 15T. i think its plenty fast already. temperature is running 60deg C. consistent with 3 packs back to back i ran up to 67deg once. ESC temps around 42-45. have been using this setup for over 3 months now with no issues.
perhaps a XERUN SCT pro with tenshock SC401 4600 will bring it up to speed a little more with the torque. friend of mine ran it with 13T pinion for 4 packs and temps were just over the 50deg C and 37deg average. all these setups were less than 200usd for esc motor lcd program box and also with extra pinions and super capacitors.
batteries were turnigy 65c 6000mah nanotech and Gen ace 5000 mah 7.4v packs.
