I was thinking about upgrading the Mad Beast stock brushless system, any recommendations?

Castle Mamba...? How much are you willing to spend?
Well I've looked at
Castle Mamba...? How much are you willing to spend?
Well I've thought about the Mamba Max for about half a year now but I've also recently found out the Hobbywing EZRun Max-8 system. Looking at other 1/8 scale MT that are running the Max-8 combo, it's a lot of the Castle bang without the Castle sticker price. I've got a Sidewinder3 esc & BL motor combo in my 2wd Ruckus and I honestly feel like I overpaid just for the Castle badge.
Any thoughts on the Hobbywing BL systems? Never purchased any of their electronics or motors so not sure how the quality compares but I haven't read any reviews bashing their products either.
