I would happily recomend LRP Speedo and either GM/Speed Passion/Orion/Peak motor combo to anyone. The motors are all based on the same tear down.

I have also tried the LRP motors. They are ok, but i think you want to be running sintered really. LRP only do sintered in 3.5/4/4.5 none of which are ideal for Off rd.

I like that style of motor. There is a small reliability issue with sensors - but that is easily fixable by anyone with a small soldering iron and a steady hand. They do need a little more cleaning than LRP motors - but that's because they have vent holes, so they run cooler, it's a trade off. You also have a choice of rotors for tuning the power band. Although i'm not 100% sure how widely available these are. I knw Schumacher stock them, but not sure about anyone else.
