Whats a stout waterproof Esc for sensored brushless?
 
Ive been out of crawling for several years. Back when I was in it hardcore, I ran Castle Mamba Max Pro esc. I waterproofed it and beat the daylights out of it,running an 18.5T sensored brushless on my scaler. Id submerge it under water and keep right on crawling,run pack after pack (3s 2200) without it getting hot. Whats newer escs are out there that can compare and take a beating? Im not gentle on my crawlers, I beat them like its part of there job and need electronics that can handle it with minimum maintenance.
Thanks
RC

Mamba X. Add a bit of dielectric grease where the harness plugs in, and remove the power switch (cut and solder the wires together).

Yep, and the Aux Wire is a must-have feature!

Ive always been a fan of the castle esc. Ill be running a Savoxx High torque steering servo, Im assuming ill still need to run an external BEC?

The Mamba X has a 8A BEC, so it can handle most servo loads no problem.

Mamba X is the only correct answer.

The Aux feature alone makes it worth it. It's the only ESC I use on my brushless crawler/trail/Rock Racer type vehicles.

That is what I will go with, Price looks reasonable too and the features it offers are fantastic!
