    This is kind of like asking everyone on Facebook where the best place to get a tattoo is, and not expect to get everyone in the phone book as a response. What kind of power are you planning on running and how fast do you want it to go ?.

    A good reliable and fairly inexpensive power system to play with imo is an Aquacraft UL-1 superior system.

    2030kv motor
    The stock AQ esc is 60a, but a 120a is great
    Octura M455 lrop
    4s lipo (2s x 2 series, 5000mah 40c minimum)
    30% cog balance
    5.5mm gold plated bullet connectors for reliable power delivery

          What sites do you suggest to buy from.
          Any pictures would be greatly appreciated.

          Thanks to all..
