I'm pretty cautious buying stuff online, but will happily buy products from Mike (runs RC-Monster and this forum), and *cough* StarluckRC. You have nothing to worry about purchasing products from either, brilliant guys to deal with, well known and respected for very good reasons.

A Mamba Max controller would be your best bet. I've heard good things about the GM 80, but would still opt for the Mamba, its a brilliant controller, USB programmable (dead simple), and should handle any 1/10 without complaining, handles my 1:8 Savage fine. Smoothest sensorless controller i've ever driven, with great tech support and a very low price, just to top it off.

The twist motors are brilliant, I've seen a lower kv twist run in a TL01B, on 9 cell it was running 60mph+ all evening without heat issues. But, the 380C motors are also very good for 1:10 touring, although not quite as efficent. Keeping cost in mind I'd recommend a Mamba 5700, 380C-6T or Lehner Basic 5300 for a touring car. Mamba 7700 if you wanna go all out, and don't plan to run high voltage down the line.
