Default New esc

Well looking to amp up the electronics on my ax-10 rtr. I wanna go with a cobalt 7t and was wanting some in put on what esc to get. I heard the mm is good but how hard is it to program it to run brushed? Because dont it come brushless? Or what are some other good esc that will hold up the 7tm power?

12t 3 pole motors. The pullers are 7 pole motors. Should be safe to run.

Personally,I like the Castle stuff. It's VERY simple to program and set everything the way you want it.

I have looked for the castle MM. And every one is sold out of them. Do you know who has them in stock.

FXR can run a 7t w/out even heating up. There is the PRO too. Very easy to program either and it runs silent. I went with it because of the noise I have heard on CC stuff.(screeeeeeeech)

I have a sidewinder and a mamba max, both are powering Pullers (1x 7T and 1x 10T), with CC BECs and 3S lipos. Castle stuff is SUPER easy to program and well worth having to wait for more stock to arrive in IMHO.

I'm going to the FXR when I bump up to 3s lipo. I have heard lots of good things and it's small... plus it has a built in BEC.

I am using the CC MM with a 7 turn puller and 3S lipo... nice wheel speed and still able to go as slow as you want. It does make a whistling noise at part/low speeds, but nothing crazy. Under the Holmes Hobbies vendor section is some more information about the 7 turn puller. JRH says it is roughly the same as a 540 27 turn for resistance.

The MM comes with a USB cable and is super easy to program. The Sidewinder you have to program with the radio, or get the Castle Link to hook it up to the computer.

You should be good with either the Sidewinder or the Max. RCP Crawlers has then in stock.
