I'm currenty building the wifes crawler and am on a very strict budget, so i decided to go with this esc, havn't got it yet, but from what I understand it does have a drag brake and instant reverse. If in the future, if she really gets into this hobby I will probably upgrade her to a rooster or a sidewinder esc, hope this helps

I personally would spend a little more and get the Sidewinder, however I may be biased...

spending that much for a crawler ecs is what you want, a momba and a rooster... kind of wasting money when this beast works perfect for it!!!

x2
I would too and look into the Moped ESC its actually cheaper than this piece of Chinese plastic and has about the same specs ,rated at about the same specs and it has been proven to work ...
don't take it further than 2s lipo and it will deliver just what is written in the manual ...

This thing has been all over Ebay for less than the RC4wd price too I think ...
add $30 and you get the CC Sidwinder (great ESC) well wort the $30 when you realise that you will most likely smoke this thing ...
an ESC is the heart of your rig ,think about it
