I run a Hobbywing 10BL60-Sensored on my Vaterra Ascender. Cheap, small, works perfectly, has enough drag brake for scale use. Would buy again! |

Brushed - HobbyWing QuicRun 1060 WP or HobbyKing X-Car 45A. Both are simple, reliable ESC's with smooth operation and a decent, nonadjustable drag brake. Brushed high end - Tekin FXR - great brushed ESC. Brushless - HobbyWing Justock or Xtreme Stock - ultra smooth, ultra reliable, high-end quality ESC at budget prices. - HobbyKing X-Car or Trackstar ESCs. Again, budget ESCs with great reliability and operation |

I recommend Hobbywing for the price and reliablility. Comments/qualifications - I have owned several. Experience/history (personal RC & with the particular ESC) 120Amp Brushless, 1060 and 1040 brushed models. Recommended application(s) (slow crawling, rock racing, combo) I recommend the HW 1040 brushed with a 35T motor. Specs - Forward / Reverse / Drag Brake Price - ~22 bucks |

For an inexpensive brushed the Axial AE-5 actually works quite well and can be had for cheap off of eBay. Brushless, waterproof and pretty small footprint Holmes BLE Brushless, waterproof, lots of bells and whistles, larger footprint but handles a lot of power Mamba Moster X and it already has a good BEC |
