[DEMONIK916]

HI GUYS HAPPY NEW YEAR can anyone suggest which castle motor and ESC would be best for a extreme speed build thanks.

XLX2 is the only ESC worthy of an extreme speed build.
Fitting it can be a challenge.

Are you wanting to stick with the short typhon wheelbase or were you thinking of a stretched chassis?
GT Chassis from Scorched are a nice option also. The money pit is real!

You can also convert a typhon to a Limitless / Infraction quite easily.

Sounds like you have done some shopping.
I'll tell you that many have found the diff lockers are not ideal. Raz, James, and Shawn + others ran them when they first came out and then went back to normal diffs.

Unless you have a really really great road the locked diffs make the car dart around and unpredictable.

Ceramic bearings you could add in when looking for those last few mph but starting out I would recommend normal bearings and just clean the grease out and add synthetic bearing oil every few runs. I was able to run all last year on original bearings in my VTE2 with only oiling before each outing.

Please reach out if you have questions. I like to help people avoid expensive purchases that might not help them reach their goals.

thanks for the info on the diff lockers scorched front and rear diff housings look amazing though and can take the hoboa gearing too

This looks like a decent option
