Cheap/reliable motor and esc?

[samrsnow]

So, I have been wanting to get into racing since I went to my local track and had a blast being a corner marshal. I've been doing some research on what kit is in my price range and I've decided I want to get a Hotbodies Ve8. But, due to BL systems costing an arm and a leg I knew I couldn't afford a Tekin RX8 or a MMM 2200 so I'm thinking of going cheap and getting one of these http://www.hobbypartz.com/07e-c-combo-m1.html HobbyWing seems to have a good rep but I'd like some opinions from the electric gurus here.

Oh and any suggestions on batteries?

Thanks!

check out CKHOBBIES, they have some nice prices on electronics.

Hobby King for batteries. Great prices.

Id get a Hobbywing Xerun ESC since they are sensored. Then Id get a Tenshock X812 2150KV sensored motor from ckhobbies. If your not allowed to use 6pole motors then Id suggest getting a used Tekin motor from ebay or something. you're gonna want a something sensored though whatever way you go if your racing.
