Don't won't to spend a fortune as only race a few indoor and outdoor meetings a year. Already have lipo lrp 30c 5000 and new Orion 90c 5500 battery.

people will reccomend loads of different brands but i'd suggest looking at the hobbywing 120 amp speedo and 8.5 motor - plenty of poke and very reasonable priced!

There isn't a bad speedo out there at the moment. The HobbyWing units are are about 2/3rds - 1/2 the price of their competitors spec-for-spec. Remember that HobbyWing are the OEM for many other companies.

If you don't fancy the HobbyWing for whatever reason I'd look at the Orion R10Pro.
