Hi guys!

Will this fit my rustler VXL? http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...le-1406-4600kV

I'm a basher, so if anyone knows of a better esc/motor combo, in the same price range of course, from Castle I would be happy to get some info about that too.

Thanks in advance
Kasper

That would be a perfect setup for your Rustler..

Here is a link to the Castle website for information about the setup.... http://castlecreations.com/products/sidewinder_sv2.html

There ARE less expensive systems than Castle.  Although I've had that exact system, and it was nice while it lasted, IT DIDN'T LAST. I got 6mo out of it before it fried.  Not too happy with their customer service either, basically incommunicado.
Look into HobbyWing EZrun or Xerun systems  I have an Evader, which is very much like your Rustler. I have this system

The Sv2 ESC with 4600kV motor is a good match for your Rustler. I have one in my Stampede and Rusty and it works great, though I'm not much of a basher, I generally drive onroad and on dirt/gravel. Yes, you can buy cheaper ESC/motor combos, but the Sidewinder Sv2 packs a pretty good punch for the price. As far as the durability, mine has worked perfect, though I do "baby" my rc's alot as opposed to beating the piss out of it. I've heard that cheap ESC/motor combos (like the one EXT2Rob mentioned) tend to have poor performance and reliability, though I've two of them, neither has crapped out on me yet.

Overall I would highly recommend it.
