Default Which motor and esc for Avante 2011?

Hi guys.
Does anyone know what is the best ESC and motor combo for an avante please?
I have got one on order and am not sure of the best option. I just bought and built an Egress with a speed passion S and 9.5t motor with a Lipo battery. Would the same go in an Avante or not advisable?
Thanks in advance guys.
Simon

Same choice as for all 4wd buggies id say. Anything down to around 6.5t

Initially I put a 9.5T SP in my B44.1 and it felt really quick until the first time I raced and one the straight all the other cars were flying past me. For all other areas of the track my driving ability was the defining factor, but the straight even I could avoid crashing. Another matter when it came to the bend at the end mind you...

6.5T seems too quick for me and though I have one installed, I do it with the transmitter turned down a bit so it takes some top end speed off. If I didn't have my 9.5T in a 2wd now I would probably put it back in as it was more drivable in the 4wd, certainly until my driving improves

No 4WD because nothing lives up to my original Optima. Until now maybe?...

Guys.
Thanks very much for the advice on this. I didn't realise it could go down to a 6.5 in the avante. I don't think id go that low though as I wouldn't race the car. One because I want to keep it nice and two because I'm a newbie to this and my driving is substandard at best! If when my skills do get better I would probably use the Egress I've just built for racing.
Thanks guys. You've made my decisions easier.
Simon.
