Sorry, I steer clear of motors and ESC's from HK... Have piles of turnigy lipo's and 5 GT3B remotes as well as a few chargers from them.

I believe ESC's and motors have to be quality items. Castle Creations and Neu for me, not cheap but very very reliable.

If I HAD to get them from HK I would go with the highest spec stuff they sell. Trackstar 150A looks to be a clone of the Mamba Monster and may last long enough to enjoy, just remember there is no customer support so anything you buy from them is disposable even if it's dead on arrival.

Go large and low KV on the motor. 4S at 14.8v dictates a motor in the range of 2400 to 3000 KV.

Really I'd just save up and buy a MMM/2650KV combo and never look back. If you need support Castle is at the very top of my list of good people to deal with. Maybe a MMP/2400KV combo if space defines a 36mm diameter motor...

If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
