Default Going brushless need esc recomendations

I have a losi night crawler and I want to go brushless. I'm going with the tekin 17.5 motor but I'm not sure what ESC to get. What would you recommend? I'm on kind of a tight budget so I guess keep that in mind. Or I can wait and save up for the best ESC if that's going to make the difference.

Mamba max pro should do everything you want.

Tekin RS is another option. Got one on the way for my LNC. Opted for this over the MMP because of the size, trying to move some stuff around and the RS is the smallest brushless ESC.

I might get struck by lightning for saying this, but I run the 17.5T Xcelorin system (motor and ESC) in my LCC and am pretty happy with it..........DUCK!

What kind of programming does it have? Have you tested the drag?

The programming of the ESC uses the Losi software. They have different settings for their crawlers.

I have not used this system in anything but the LCC....so the drag is amazing!
