Default Sc10 4x4 ESC and Motor reccomendations

I have a SC10 4x4 that I need a motor and esc. I maily want it for bashing. I have no clue where to start. I know this is a old car but I have a ton of extra parts so I want to run it. I see some people reccommend hobbywing but I am not sure which one. Any help would be great.

Thanks

"Run it" as in racing or just bashing?

Gear a little low and this thing will rip on 2S.

Go 3200kv and gear higher for a more tame machine.

This will have a slower top speed but will have more torque. It will top out at maybe... 40mph with reasonable gearing. Now, if you run 3S, this setup will be much different. It will be super efficient and insanely powerful, you may have to up your tranny game to take the load.

For an SC10 4x4, I personally would recommend the first one (4000kv) and run 2S. The other setup (3200kv) is too little on 2S and too much on 3S IMO.
