My new crawler is almost to the point of being mobile. The only thing stopping me is the ESC. I dont see a lot for the super rooster on e-bay at the moment and it seems that most sites that sell the Tekin rebel 2 are out of stock on it. I ordered a tekin rebel 2 from sublimerc.com because their web site did not say that they were out of stock. this was a couple weeks ago and i still have not even recieved an e-mail saying that it has shipped. On the rare occasion that you can get a real person on the phone at sublimerc, I just get the typical corporate mumbo jumbo talk that is essentially blowing you off. I have had very bad luck with this company. I looked at what tower hobies lists as a possible substitution for the super rooster and the link to it is http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJAC0 Please let me know if this would work well in a clod crawler. I have no intentions of ever competing with this truck, it is just being built for fun. I would rather not order something online and go through the crap of waiting for shipping. my local hobby shop has this ESC so if it would work good, I will just go buy it tonight. Looking forward to hearing you all's opinions on this ESC. Thanks for the great site you have here. I will get some pictures and post them once the truck is capable of moving on it's own power.

this esc is going to take whatever you throw at it. the BEC is 3A which is not as good as the Rebel2's 5A but it will handle most regular size servos in pairs. Get it and you wont regret it.

AS for shipping,order from tower,much better service then what you described from sublimerc.com .i never had to wait more then a week and thats with reg ground shipping.usually less

The first reply said that this ESC should handle most normal sized servo's in pairs. I have the Hitec digital servo's front and rear. think there will be a problem running those 2 servos's, also both motors are lathe's and both axles are locked with the aluminum lockers if any of that makes a difference
