Need opinions: motor and esc.

[Cheetah928]

Hey guys, I was wondering what budget motors and esc you guys use… the stock system in my trx-4 died, so I’m now in need of a new motor and a new esc. I’d like to keep the whole budget under 70 dollars and it needs to be a 2pin type battery lead. I’d like a brushless. Here’s one I found that I like:

I'm not a crawler guy, but wouldn't it be more beneficial to have a sensored setup for ultimate throttle control?
How do you know the stock ESC died?
I'm just curious.
Maybe have a look at a Hobbywing QUICRUN Fusion SE (2in1 FOC system) while waiting for others to chime in.

I run this setup in 3 of my crawlers. Setup with a program card, it's a good system.

Fusion SE is only thing that fits your description but honestly for TRX4 you'd do better to put Fusion Pro in if you can squeeze a little more budget. The TRX4 has a bunch of servos and needs the little more power Fusion Pro can provide over the Fusion SE. Fusion SE will work but not as optimally for such a heavy right with so many servos.

The stock esc died because the motor leads didn’t have anything else to go to, so it short circuited the esc.

What about any of the Amazon brushless systems??

I'd buy stock replacements before I went with noname brand stuff.

I just use a surpass hobby system and I found one for $40 before and I think they discontinued that exact combo. Probably another combo similar

I found one that’s 60$ and looks legit. Comes with a programming card too

Do they have a version that’s the 2-pin plug?

Also, I saw it featured in a Trx-4 by the company.
