Can I get some tried and tested recomendations for this budget. Some choices i've seen are; LRP SXX TC Spec ESC for $219, Hobbywing XERUN-120A-1S-SD (V2.1) Brushless ESC $189 + Advanced Professional LCD Program Box $ 39 total $ 228, LRP Vector X11 4.5T Brushless Motor $89
Please I'm new to electric racing so I'm fumbling for some solid advice.
If you sign up for Tower Hobbies super saver club, you can get up to $50 off a $300 order, and get easy pay. A $367 b44.1 is now $327 and they only bill you 1/3 every 30 days. They ship when you order so you get it right away. If you look, you can also find LRP motor/esc combos on easy pay, and get $50 off those, too. For big $$ purchases, there's no other option.
