who makes the traxxas esc?

[bouncyroof]

im wondering if traxxas makes their own units or not, ive got a 1/16 ken block traxxas car and a buddy of mine just grabbed a savage i believe and says his esc is made by castle, which means he can tune it with his laptop, so im wondering if mines a traxxas unit or if they get an outside company to make them, thanks

I'm pretty sure it's a traxxas unit. and you can't program anything outside the LVD, and the racing, sport and training mode. there isn't any software for the tuning of the esc with a computer

If his ESC is a castle unit he is not running a stock ESC. The stocker is non programmable.

maybe the kid swapped it out then, he bought it used the other week, good to know thanks for confirming what mine is.

false. savage flux comes with a caslte ESC, I think the MMM, with different stickers.

^^^^Yup! but vapor is like the sidewinder

Although i believe Traxxas has some wacked @$$ system to adjust settings using the radio, but not 100% sure

[bouncyroof]

just asked him, he said its a vapor esc which is made by castle

[bouncyroof]

the radio has a setting button on it, i think, i dunno i just feed it batteries and pull the go trigger and try to avoid crashing it in to crap, lol

The car in question is a 1/16 rally. That does not come with castle gear.

Rigs such as the e revo, maybe the brushless emaxx and the traxxas drag car come with castle hardware.

Therefore correct.

Not getting into it. Read the thread. Castle is in the Savage as op stated. You stated otherwise, i corrected you. That is all.
Its the interwebz folks, we can't have false info now can we. Lol.

Yup, the savage has as CC setup as does many other rigs, Axial being one. I may be crazy but the OP did say he runs a traxxas 1/16 rally while his buddy has the savage.


As for the original question. Yes, somebody else makes them for traxxas Im pretty sure its not CC, unless its in one of the bigger rigs. It would be cool if traxxas did say who makes their ESCs. Everything is out sourced these days. As far as I could tell my old XL5 didnt have any marking except part numbers and I was too lazy to look up the data sheets.

[bouncyroof]

you are correct, ive got the brushless 1/16 and my buddy has the savage. thanks for the help guys, saves me from ripping it out just to find out i cant do squat with it

[Pegasix]

yes im runninh the savag flux xs and hes on the ken block rally my brushless vapor set up is a cc product as my programmer has already tuned this rig

[bouncyroof]

also i was at a local hobby shop tonight and they list its a castle unit right on the front for the savage. on a side note if my wife wasnt with me i probably would have bought one. haha
