I second the Jenny's recommendation.

C8 By XC is a great budget option. Cost me 75 to 80 CDN to get one delivered to me. Its 6S and powerful.

Theoretically yes it could work but not really as its too low of an amp for a 1/8 truggy. and its more for helicopters I think.

Id take a look into Firma 150s on Jennys (stock RTR hardware from Arrmas and they resell them for quite cheap/decent prices)
Or, Hobbywing 8BL150 G2/WP. Both of those options are more basic/sensorless options. Imo Hobbywing is a bit better if you want to do more with programming as its more accessible with their program cards.
If you want to get a whole new esc/motor combo, and sensored, HW Max8s are beasts.

Been seeing alot recommending the XC esc's. Looks like a rebranded Hobbywing to me but Ill take a look on it later. Might be on my recommendations lists for electronics.

https://store.tmotor.com/product/flame-60a-12s-V2-esc.html that's a drone ESC, for your use case I'd ask around on forums (including this one) for a used Hobbywing Max 8 combo around the 2200kv mark or below

this is a Canadian price. You can shop around Ali express and Amazon until you find one of these economy units. But I strongly suggest spending more for the XC or finding a HW or Castle combo.

They are not considered a typical hobby grade unit. They're generally a budget basher part. They did recently come out with a more premium line. So they have some newer stuff. But it is really worth it to spend a few more bucks. Surpass motors are ok. The escs work but having less precise throttle control and greater heat build up. Less robust physical architecture. If its like 20 bucks. Why not. But the XC is only about 75 Canadian dollars. Which is like 50 USD now. A hobbywing Max8 costs me 225 up here. Castle even more. Cheap out on steering servos and batteries and radios. But not on ESCs

So I looked on xc website and it says the minimum order amount is 5

 

[PonkyKong]

You have to find them on Ali Express or Amazon. Alibaba has order minimums. Ali Express is the non business side of that business.

Try this one. It should be a very low price. Make sure its set to C8 and not another one.

When I click on c8 the price went way up

 

[PonkyKong]

Yeah. You need to hunt for the lowest price. Ali express is annoying like that.

 

[PonkyKong]

They will have like 20 postings for it. But one will be a good price. For me the range is 56 to 98 Canadian dollars.

Looks like amazon has a good deal on Hobbywing too. The BL150 is good too. Prices are ok
