I have had a Brushlesshobbies 120a since 2011 which is a hobbywing clone and an xcar 120 since 2014. Both going strong. The hardest part I had with them was finding the right firmware to get the smooth fwd/rev. I think it was one of the SpeedPassion firmware. If anyone knows another one pass it on

I did buy a $20 eBay clone and for some reason didn’t like it for crawling. It sat on the shelf for a few years. Put it in an sc10 4x4 and it smoked as soon as I powered it on. Don’t know why. Wasn’t connected wrong. Luck of the draw

Does anybody know if they make a pc progamable 60a?

Hobbyking has this ESC in a variety of different current capacities. I remember there being an 80A and I believe there is (or was) a 60A version as well.

I found my associated rc18t the other day (I know it's not a crawler), and I remembered that I upgraded it to brushless for super cheap using gool rc. After abusing the crap out of it for like two hours a day last week, I'm thinking about picking up one of their escs to experiment with my spare motor, before I pick up a castle sv3 or4
