| Re: mechanical speed control  MSCs are good for NOTHING. I have fried them with stock 27T motors!They will absolutely NOT handle Titans. |

and traxas only uses 1 motor,not 2.it will work.for a short while and you'll get tired of tinkering with the msc to keep it running then it'll burn out.so in short the msc will work for a short while,but not as long as you'd like.that's why most every one upgraded to an esc

I agree with everyone else. :o Don't even bother with the MSC get an ESC. Besides being much more reliable, they will also up your runtimes considerably.  And you can find a lot of ESC's for very cheap if you search around. |

The only good thing I've heard MSC's can be used for is mudding.......because you don't care if it gets wrecked!
