After stumbling across some crawler videos online I decided to build my first crawler and decided on the RC4WD Bully 2. I love to build so purchased the kit and been doing a lot of reading on electronics recommendation. I will not be doing any competitions so looking for a good setup that will not break the bank. I hear great things about the HH br mini dual but they are not available. Can I do 2 individual br minis? I've narrowed it down to 2 HW 1080 escs and Tekin T45 HD motors. HH SHV500V3 SERVO. I have no radio but read about the hacked Flysky GT3. Let me know what you think and recommendations. I am looking forward to this build.

Dlux Fab has some BR mini duals in stock https://dluxfab.ecwid.com/In-House-Built-BR-Mini-Duals-p370559088
BR mini duals are just 2 BR minis so you could DIY it, Holmes sells a stacker as well https://holmeshobbies.com/electroni...mes-hobbies-torquemaster-br-mini-stacker.html
Individual BR minis will require 2 batteries which isnt something I'd really recommend. The benefit of combining them is being able to share the same battery.
Personally I prefer 5 slot motors over 3 slots, they have a little less torque potentially but have a better low speed feel. I usually go for the HH crawlmaster motors, they come at 3 different price levels.
I'd also recommend 2 of these guards once they're available again https://holmeshobbies.com/motors/parts-and-accessories/bwd-motor-sav-r.html

I’ve been out of the hobby for awhile, but I put 35t 3 slot brushed motors on my Axial XR10. You recommended HH Crawlmaster motors, but they’re all in the 12-20t range. Isn’t that a little much speed for a MOA?

No its actually not a fast range as these are 5 slot motors and you're comparing it to a 3 slot. Comparing them turn for turn does not work.
A 5 slot 12t motor is the equivelant of a 35t (3 slot) motor and a 5 slot 10t motor is equivelant to a 30t (3 slot motor).
Holmes has a handy info sheet on motor speeds, thinking about KV rating is a better way of comparing motors IMO.
