Yea the Xray does not seem to mcuh for a basher type vehicle, but to each his own. As for too much power, isn't it possible to program most ESC settings in order to reduce output power? If so then why not go for the gusto in your motor purchase just in case you change gears in your project and decide to put the motor in a bigger project like an MT or similar vehicle later down the road? When purchasing a Neu motor the overall pricing is pretty similar in nature, so I would go with something that has the ability to go OTT for later urges that may need to be satisfied. Just a thought, but it makes sense to me. You can always dial it back a bit if you need to curve the wheelies.

As for the ESC from what I have seen and read on RCM teh MMM is a hit or miss at the moment. MGM may have their issues, but most of the issues seem to have been due to improper setups or installation, or just plain abuse. It seems to be a pretty tough ESC overall. TDC just put one(160/24) in his XRay-808 project and it took him a while to get it all straight, but now he is having a great time with that rig. He even picked up another MGM for his second project. As long as you have a little patients and set it up correctly it is one of the badest ESC's available to us. If you are in Europe repair times should not be quite as bad as in the USA. Once again it is all up to you which way to go for your own satisfaction level.

Good luck with that Man.
