Two non working ESC's, need help

[nastety92]

So I'm looking for a little help with selecting a ESC.

I have a CRT.5 and up until recently it was running a Traxxas VXL ESC and motor. Two of the three ESC gold plug in leads have come loose and are not attached to the ESC anymore. This is the older style ESC, the non waterproof design.

I called Traxxas and they will upgrade this ESC to the newer style waterproof version for $55 shipped.

I also have a Mamba Max ESC that does not work either, I believe it burnt up when I was using it. I called CC and they said it would be $75 to upgrade to a Mamba Max Pro or $50-60 to repair the Mamba Max.

Right now I would like to still run the 3500kv VXL motor, but which ESC should I upgrade to? I'd like to eventually go with a 1509 Neu motor or a 3300kv Medusa motor instead of the VXL motor.

I will be running a 2s and 3s packs.

What would you all recommend?

Thanks for the help,
Nick
