need advice on what esc to buy

Hi everyone, I have a stock king hauler, and have not yet outfitted it with any radio gear. I am going to go with the futaba 4yf 2.4ghz system, but I am not sure what esc would be the best, but at the same time not break the bank. I don't plan on putting this truck through any extreme situations so I'm assuming that something pretty simple would work fine??? thanks.

I would Skip the Futaba system as if you ever want to use a MFU in your semi you wont be bale to with that remote.

And I have ran many ESC's over the years and by far to date is a Castle Sidewinder ESC.

Depends on what you think affordable is. I think for everything they can do they are a great deal they run about 65.00 and for radio you can run a RDS 6000 or 8000 they are both 2.4 and work with the MFU and the Dx6 also is a good 2.4.
