Hi Gaz,
If you can wait a month or so then hold off for the new Carisma GT14B once CML Distribution are able to get stock on.
Phil Sleigh won the UKMicroX event in August with a GT14B and the car is a beautiful bit of kit, very similar in layout to the Associated B44!
If you want to run sensored then the only motor available is the Novak Mongoose Three-80 motors. Most common choice at Nationals is the 10.5 version.
As for "best ESC", well that depends on your budget. I run an LRP SXX TC in my car which I paid £230 for! Overkill? Yeah probably, especially when the likes of Craig Harris managed to TQ last years Tamworth National with an 18A EZ-Run system that he bought off eBay for £40!!
Alot of guys are going back to the sensorless systems and they seem more than capable nowadays. Carisma are releasing a ESC/motor combo soon enough, and the EZ-Run systems are very popular.
The Mongoose sensored systems are good though with the likes of Wes Myles, Keith Robertson and Steve Davis all using them to good effect in Micro National A-finals.
Servos - Savox servos are popular now, the bigger the better really. I dont think TrakTech are stocking the Ino-Lab servos anymore which is a shame as they were the "must have" item on the circuit.
Cells - again personal preference. If you are running at a club with a silly hard-cased only rule then hard cased it is! If not then TrakTech do a really ood 1600mAh pack
Hope that helps a little?
