I have a question about what type of motor and ESC to run in my 3 pound robot. I need the motor to function in forward and reverse. I have no clue about any of this and need help. I do think that the motor needs to be brushless. I original was looking at rc motors and ESC since they seem fairly easy to set up but realized the battery I would need is way to big to stay in my design. I am looking for a motor and ESC that is easy to set up since I have zero experience.Thanks.

Hello @Heath_Williams_505 !
Welcome to the forum !
Try to use this online calculators to find the best option for your motor (manual calculation). After that, we could find some ESC for them.
