you can waterproof any esc so go ahead and buy whatever one that fits your needs and budget. if you dont want to go threw the trouble of water proofing buy a traxxas waterproof esc of your choice

yeah for a waterproof one go with an xl5 speed control waterproof and the new ones can handle lipos with a built in lipo cutoff so if you want to go taht route in the futre it's already built in.

I have a Tekin FXR in mine right now in a rubber sealed container with holes drilled for the wires and siliconed up. I really like the Tekin ESC's. I did just order the Holmes ESC though. Waterproof with no extra work, just a little bigger than the FXR. The reason I like these esc's is the computer compatibility to adjust all of the settings such as drag brake, push, throttle profiles, custom lipo cut off, etc.

| I could be wrong but I think he meant by the Traxxas VXL-3s, it has a built in lipo cutoff and it can run a brushed motor, my buddy is running the Axial 27t motor with the VXL-3s ESC for the lipo cutoff usage. It's one of a few ESC's that is designed to run brushless but can run brushed also.

The majority of brushless ESC's can run brushed as well.

The XL-5 that has the low voltage detector has the words "Low Voltage Detector" is small letter on the front face of the ESC, directly under the power button. They are fine for a trail truck but not much for a crawler, better off with an Holmes Torquemaster BR-XL. |
