| Viable ESC for Wraith with 2 wire motor ?
Hello I bought a used Wraith, LOVE IT, except it has an XL5 ESC obviously with no drag brake it currently has the stock 2 wire motor that I would like to use until it dies is there an ESC I can get with a drag brake that will run this current motor AND allow me to go with a newer motor (3 wire?) in the future ? or should I just stick with two wire motors ? it will only be used for crawling Thanks for any input you can give ! |

Castle sidewinder will do what you need. Works for brushed (2 Wire) High Power Brushed (3 Wire) and SENSORLESS brushless (3 Wire) OR You could get a Castle Mamba Max Pro Does all the above with sensored motors as well. |

Thanks more money than I hoped but a good investment i'm sure more to this, what would I need to do to hook up my two wire motor to this as it will be three wire ? can I just leave one unplugged ? or do I have to terminate it somehow ? |

You just use the red and black wires. White is not used in this application. Towerhobbies.com has the MMP for $127 with easy pay on $42 a month. OR HOBBYWING North America — QUICRUN 16 Brushed ESC Currently $21 with free shipping if I'm reading this correctly. This is what the new axial kits are using. Good for 3s and wateproof!! Only a brushed ESC though. No brushless. If you're sticking with brushed this is a good go between ESC. It'll give you drag brake and 3s and waterproof. Not many brushed motors use 3 wires.

Awesome thank you ! that will definitely do me until I can afford to move up to a brushless setup at that time I will look at those castle ESCs they look good thanks again ! had to add shipping to Canada, but still a good deal |
