I have about $150 to spend on a combo. I am thinking the mamba sidewider3 esc with mamba 5700kv motor would do the trick and it is $145 posted. I am after something very fast and waterproof if possible. I will post a thread with the build once I get all the parts. It is going to be awesome I hope. All rpm and waterproof.
Thanx in advance.

I'd go a sc8 wp hobbywing esc, I think there around 60-70 and it's waterproof or water resistant either way a much better option then a castle esc

In terms of motors being 2wd a beast of a motor is not crucial, can look into castle tenshock leopard motors, all depends what voltage u plan on running on

You'll probably get overheating drama's with 5700kv on 3s hey, I used to one in a HPI blitz and it got too hot..

The castle creation 3800kv 4-pole is good, heaps of power and good temps also the traxxas velineon 3500kv is good on 3s..
