yes, went through theese, but only one raction about it: "" Nice affordable ESC. As for the 5V/1A BEC. Its not the best, but it works okay. Easy to hook up an external BEC if you need the extra power."" maybe someone has it in rig and driving it? |

I was debating buying one of these as well but decided to go with the sidewinder because I just got a 20$ coupon from tower hobbies wich makes it 56 bucks. Deffinately way better for the extra 7 bucks.

Just to let you all know .. i bought some of these (4)... i have only tested 1 for like 2 hours .... its working great .. easy to use i bind it to a dx3.0 with sr3000, 7.2 nimh 4200 batteries and integy lathe 75t and it works as i wanted it to be.. it has torque and very slow which is how i wanted it. the mayhem esc its working good so far but i havent recorded it yet. but im planning on making video soon. i hope the rc4wd mayhem esc to last for some good time ... we will see and ill let you know. today i made like a 1 hour test and yesterday another hour ohh and i almost forgot .. the drag brake is amazing !!! sept/ 8 /2009 |

I have one in an ax10 rtc with stock motor. My mayhem is the newer one with 5v/3amp bec included. It's definitely a big step up from the stock esc. But not in the class of sidewinder/fxr esc's obvously. I'm happy with the drag brake, instant forward/reverse and bec. It's worth the 56 and change I paid for it

| I was about to go this route as well but soon realized a bec is still needed, so for my budget the mayhem was it
