|  Project: Budget Honcho
Hey guys! I'm starting a new project and as you may have guessed from the title I'm working on a tight budget. I will order the base for this project after I get my paycheck this week. http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/ind...oducts_id=2395 I need some ideas for "budget" electronics. I think for the motor I'm going to go with a 35t Integy. http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/ind...oducts_id=2100 For the ESC I need something that can handle a 3s Lipo because the batteries I have are 1300mAH 3s 25c. I have an extra Losi 2.4 Tx so I could possibly just pick up a Losi 2.4 Rx and call it good. Any advice is helpful and If you have something I could use just PM me. Thanks!  |

I think I've decided on an ESC Sidewinder baby! http://www.castlecreations.com/products/sidewinder.html It's $75 from the place I'm ordering my kit so unless I can get it cheaper on ebay (currently bidding on 2) then I'll order it from there. Last edited by Voteban; 04-27-2010 at 01:53 AM. |

I'm running a Sidewinder on both crawlers and the Honcho, and I really like it. I'd consider getting the Castle BEC for it, though.
