good ESC?

Post by R Cane »

Any recommendations for a good bulletproof brushed ESC to run a 10T mod motor? 7 cell would be great, but I'd take one with a 6 cell limit. Reverse would be a big plus...
Thanks!

This one is very solid and reasonable on ebay. A little on the heavy and big side, but stays cool under havy use and has reverse.

Hi Winds and R don't often go together...

The Rebel might be 10T on paper, but if you'll run it with Lipos and high-Amps you'll be way over the recommended current that NiXX could deliver bitd.

I'd go race-speedos... LRP quantum's, KO VFS's, Keyences... 10T is serious stuff.

another option is the novak based traxxas controllers designed for dual motors/dual batteries if you have the room on the chassis.

otherwise, yeah, agree on something like LRP or the smaller brake only esc's.

Actually, I do need to look for a dual motor/battery esc...my brushed EMaxx got a little too close (in) to a pond a couple months ago. I'm going to go waterproof so I don't have to worry about it on that thing.

I am not big on Traxxas stuff, but the EVX2 is solid and can take a beating heat wise. I use a few in my Clods.

Never had an issue with one. Robust ESC for sure.
