hey guys,
i'm goin to be done w/ my VMG project pretty soon, I'm going to be running the venom fireball motor. I don't wanna use the stock esc/rx combo seeing as how I have some hitec electronics waiting to be used. My question is, is this http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/158110.asp esc any good. I don't know if any1's got any experience w/ it or not. It doesn't say whether or not its gotta reverse on it, I don't care about the no brake part, but it looks fairly small and after all the aluminum I've used/going to use on this project I'm tryin to keep things semi-cheap as far as electronics, for right now... Any help is appreciated. Thanx, Wes

I'd go with the Novak XRS. It's a very small, yet quite capable, and inexpensive ESC. If you ever give up your VMG later you'll be able to use it in larger trucks.

You could also use the Novak Spy, howver it's more expensive, much less capable and not much smaller. Not sure it can handle the Fireball either.

Another option, the Airtronics ES-01 which is very small and very cheap but I have doubts it will handle a Fireball.

Yet another option;

Even if that wasn't an airplance ESC the amp rating would be a bit low to handle a Fireball.

BTW, for crawling I'd be looking for an ESC with brakes, they can be very helpful on the declines.
