Compared to alot of options out there, 4400kv may sound a bit slow. I am running a 4500kvair plane out runner in my RC18 clone and happy with the speed. So if the price is right a 4400kv motor would not be a bad option either.

Quality vs. the same speed and less quality, 1/4 price, your choice but i think unless i race, im going cheap.

You say your going cheap but isn't the mamba combo only 99 bucks now? That's pretty cheap.

Besides, Going airplane esc isn't a bad idea if you just want to bash around, without intending to go backwards.
I used cheapo airplane escs before on a mini-tank project

Cheap is relative! especially when you're looking at $100 vs ~$35
Besides, Going airplane esc isn't a bad idea if you just want to bash around, without intending to go forwards.

Everyone stop bashing him for what he wants to do. Nothing wrong with it. I have used plane ESC's in my speed car projects in the past and it will be fine for what he wants.

I haven't done anything with mine yet but I bought one of these 30 amp car ESC's off EBay:

Get that $15 brushless motor and this ESC. It would make an inexpensive solution for you.

That's the Jeti speed controller right? Do tell us how it runs when you try it.
