Welcome to the forum.
That is an absolute awesome looking truck.

By "wont kill my pockets"... about how much is this? Unfortunately there is not a middle costing system on the market right now for a truck your size. There is the MM ESC that can be run with a Feigao 9xl. That will be about $250. Then there are the Neu motors which will run you about $280 - $300, and you will still need to buy a $250 - $300 ESC to run that motor.
