Default Other ESC choices?

What are the othe ESC choices for the Cliff Climber? I know that Tower still has the stock Duratrax ESC, but has anyone tried running the Novak M2 with the 380 motors?

I bought Cliffy as the pre-built, so didn't get electronics... I've been running a Mamba Micro Pro and love it, just wish I had the dig...

Same here ... pre-built. I'm using a Rooster crawler currently. Works excellent, in fact too excellent in respect to the drag brake. If I hit full throttle and let off the throttle too quickly, it'll flip over end .... on flat ground. Probably going to swap in a pro boats ESC for this one, and use the Rooster in another project.

Ok, so when you guys are using the Rooster or other originally single motor ESCs, are you wiring the motors in parallel ( +, + and -, -) or in series (+,-,+,-)?

KOM, running in parallel, you will prolly need to reverse the wires on one of the motors to get them both running the same direction, but that's easy enough.

i am using the stock ESC that came with my pajero.

Any esc will work as long as you wire the motors properly.
