<<flm maxx-childproof>>

No & no- I killed 2 motors the same as that, they hate heavy alloy trucks, and I know someone ( a douche actually, but anyway... ) who had that esc and killed it in a truck much lighter than a maxx.

If you want cheap and reliable, but not excessivelty powerful = hvmaxx pro systems. Opt for th 6.5 or 7.5 motor versions, they can be found on ebay for only $190 which is pretty good value, and they perfrom just fine on 2x 2s lipo, geared for 30-35mph in a ~10lb truck.

Otherwise, look into the hobbywing XErun 150amp esc and 4168 2200kv motor- about $50 or so cheaper than an MMM system, pretty much just as powerful ( motor is a little smaller, but still 4 poles ).

A system with good customer service is fairly important, wouldnt like to imagine how young children would drive a BL maxx- need to learn throttle control before they fry the esc and motor....
