ESC suggestion, please

[Josh_Br]

Looking for a crawler ESC with the following features:

-Can handle 3s
-Has LiPo cutoff when voltage is too low
-Has drag brake
-For brushed motors

Anyone have any suggestions that won't break the bank?

Thanks

If you are looking for crawling speed, the Sidwinder micro or Mamba Micro Pro for a single motor is good. The Sidewinder is also a great affordable option, although I hear there have been some issues in brushed mode lately. Not sure on that. Brushed only - The Tekin FXR is a nice small alternative, and if you want more power my TorqueMaster BR-XL is designed for crawling.


Those are the most popular choices for sure.

The BR-XL can also be ordered with additional waterproofing if you're afraid of doing it yourself.

Thanks guys. The motor is actually a HH Cobalt 10t pulling motor, in an SCX10.

I would suggest the FXR, Sidewinder, or BRXL then. That motor gets a bit amp hungry on 3s.

Does the BRXL have drag brake and LiPo low voltage cutoff?
