[AxialJeepster]

I want an esc thats 50 bucks, 3s lipo, brushed and brushless, easy to waterproof, has a decent drag brake and is small..... whats a good chioce and will this castle micro/mini stuff run a 27t or a 35T HW brushed 540-motors????? or run an outrunner like the holmes crawlmaster??

thanks for your input!!!

I know some of the guys run dual Mamba Micros but I'm not sure how well that would work out in a scaler/shafty. I have been running sidewinders in all of my scalers and they work well, the only downside over the Mamba Micro would be the slightly larger size.

yeah I see that also but I think it would be great to run a 35 or 45 turn hand wound on 3s with the micro pro!!!!!

Yep, you can...... Castle Creations | Mamba Micro Pro 1/18th Scale Power System

I will be shortly ditching my dual Tekin FX-R's to go to dual CC Sidewinder Micro's (smaller than the Micro Pro's) with 35T handwounds on 3S!!

I (as well as my son) run a CC Micro Pro in our 1.9 MRC Pro's.....it's great....
He also runs dual Micro Pro's in his 2.2 XR-10 with 40T brushed on 3S LiPO.

Where are you seeing that you can run 540's with the micro? I was looking through that page earlier and nowhere does it say what they can handle.

That is the downside to Castle in my opinion...Lack of proper manuals and specs! It is a bit lame that every ESC they sell comes with the same literature.

I agree, their documentation sucks at times (Novak & Tekin can be even harder to find....).

I know I've read it on their site before, I also know quite a few people that run them on 35T 540's with 3S. I believe there are quite a few XR-10 drivers using them. Bully's don't seem to need the "really small size", but I don't really like their drag brake as well as a CC ESC. Cost me points today (not as many as my poor driving....but I need all the help I can get....)

Yea but I think we can all agree that an ESC in a dual ESC application gets an easier ride than one in a shafty.

Hahaha classic

Just watch temps as the longer run times with scalers could heat things up, especially if you seal everything up in a box or such.

I have been running one on my ax sportsman for 2 seasons now with no issues, 3s on a hot 35turn.

I run a Mamba Micro Pro in my 2.2 Sportsman truck (3S with a Brood 16T CVR motor) and haven't had any issues. The ESC doesn't get above warm even in the heat of the summer...

now another question, sidewinder or micro pro? I think they are pretty much the same exept size now...ALSO...whats a bad ass 35t handwound??? I was going with a Holmes but is there a better route for more $$ or less $$ doesnt matter...

thanks in advance!!

Team br00d.

Br00d or Holmes Hobbies are probably the BEST places to go for a kick-ass motor for crawling.

I would email each with your rig, battery size/type, type of comps and let them suggest a motor.
I believe they will each give you great guidance.

There we go, thanks for the response.

Yea the price on the SV2's on ebay has gone up a bit lately, I picked up a pair for $35 a piece brand new maybe 3-4 months ago. Since a lot of the short course guys want the castle 1410's people buy the SV2(SCT)/1410 combos and sell the motor and ESC separate, since the motor is the desirable part for SC they let go of the ESC's for cheap.
