I've gotta give another +1 to running the stock system. Normally I'm all for ditching the stock power system in favor of something more powerful but I race mine on 2s and rarely hit half throttle, bashing on 2s is all the power the truck can really handle. 3s and the power gets stupid. If I were to replace the motor with anything but another Velineon I'd probably go with an 11xx series Neu motor. The Velineon ESC isn't bad, I have left mine in because to me it isn't worth $100+ to replace it with something better that may not be as comfortable getting packed up with snow. I'm not real fond of the throttle, braking, button, etc. on the VXL-3m but spending almost my monthly car payment on another ESC just doesn't make sense to me. You can find stock systems on eBay pretty cheap--if you want the warranty they can be had for a good price as well.
