thanks.

Does any one know.

It would get power to the motors but typically these cheap ESC's are very underwhelming for cralwers. The lack of drag brake and reverse pause make them user unfriendly IMO. Save your money for a good ESC like the TEkin FXR.

ok thanks. is there a esc under 60 dollaers that will get the job done on a budget build. dont need the fancy stuff.

Do a search for "Moped"

I tried going the cheap route when i built my 2.2 crawler and learned that you truley get what you pay for. I went through 2 esc's before i saved up and bought the tekin FXR. So total for one good Esc (includes 2 cheap ones) was about $200. Lesson learned(the hard way)."thumbsup"

ok will look at the moped .thanks

Correct me if I am wrong, but I do believe that two 27T motors will have approximately the same current draw on the ESC as one 13T motor. You will need to find something that will hold up to a 13T motor. Technically, the Moped should be able to hold up to the job, but I killed two of them before I decided they werent worth the effort.

Look at a Sidewinder alot better for the same money.

ok thanks

Agreed! The Sidewdiner is a great ESC!

SIDEWINDER!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG "thumbsup"

Will the Sidewdiner work with the stock clod motor.

IIRC, the Sidewinder does not have a motor limit, but you might want to verify that with Castle Creations first.

It doesn't have a motor limit but it does have a voltage limit with certain motors. Contact Castle Creations and they can give you the motor info. I have run everything from a 55T lathe to a 27T epic on mine all on 3S packs with no issues.

a stock clod motor is a 27t for both will it power both

That is what I was saying....I believe that two 27T motors hooked up to 1 ESC will draw double the current of one 27T motor. This is the reason I was saying to find an ESC that can handle a 13T motor...

I would still call Castle Creations and verify this with them:

Sidewinder has a 19t brushed motor limit. Great ESC for the price though.
