High end motors = segmented magnets (for partial-throttle capability)
Such as the Lehner 19 or 22 series.

Solid magnet motors, even if they are 4-polers, have a narrow efficiency range. Generally at full throttle. (i.e. at partial throttle they get hot) Motors with segmented magnets have a wide range of high efficiency.

If you don't mind spending 600 bucks just for a motor/ESC combo, I would say get a 120amp Warrior and a Lehner 1950.
If you want good power for less money, I would suggest a 99amp warrior and a Feigao (or Wanderer) XL.

Stay away from Schulze - Why? Have you seen Serums Hall of Shame?? They have a nasty tendency to burn up without apparent reason, and are backed by poor customer support.
Also, this delay before they go into reverse is something I don't really like in such an expensive ESC.

To each his own, Harald, this is just my opinion. Altough many members here agree on this. Schulze/Pett combos get glorified in german forums, for no reason at all. Even a cheap Feigao 7XL has more WOT efficiency than the Bigmaxx.

Don't want to stirr up anything. Ask Serum if you want a second opinion.

Cheers
