Been thinking about getting another clod to add to my stable and giving it the brushless power or just add it to the one i have now. Either way, I'm trying to figure out what would be a good brushless setup to run. Been looking at EZ-Run's, Hobbywing, Castle and some Leopards. What I'm trying to do is keep it a somewhat budget build but with a Clod, that isn't always going to happen. All comments are welcome to help me figure out what would be good to go with.
castle products
go to towerhobbies, i think they are like $109 or $119 and with the coupon it takes it down to 99 bucks a system, i made the switch to castle like 4 years ago i will buy know other and they have the hands down best technical support it is unherd of, its not a person reading from a script if you have a problem these guys live and breath these brushless systems.

You must have had better luck with customer service than I;It took me over a week to hear from anyone, and it will be a while before i buy another Castle system just for that fact.

i'm gonna set my current project clod up with brushless soon, but i'm going with novak. i have heard good things about castle, but that little "made in china" sticker makes me want to look elsewhere. novak is made here in the USA, so that's where my money goes. of course, that means i'm spending 50% more for my systems (from tower hobbies).
brands aside, is a 4600kv bl motor the "norm" for a clod?

Anyone used the Traxxas VXL3m system? That way it's waterproof. Most 540 BL systems are actually 380 rotors anyway when you're buying China stuff so I don't see where that would be too far off the mark.
I'm a castle guy (own 6 setups).... but I am going to try dual ezrun setup on my current build. I really haven't heard anything negative and it's worth a shot. They are only $83 ea with free shipping from here: http://www.nitrorcx.com/ezrun-brushless-system-combo-b5-w--60a-esc.html
New Castle Sv2 are great priced but still need to prove themselves in my book before I commit to buy another pair.

I run the sidewinder 4600kv combo in my wolverine truck, its got a boat load of power, and adaptability cant be beat, also run a castle sct combo in my sc10 4x4(basically a sidewinder with 3800kv motor) and the thing is closer to a rocket ship then a short course truck lol.
