Default ESC's!!!

Alright so there has been a few different post saying they have used different esc's in there mrc, but I am tired of looking through them to figure it out again so I will create this thread. My esc took a crap and it will be at least two weeks before they send me a new one so I just want to get everyones opinion on a different one to add. Anyone??

The Tekin FXR is a great esc and it's tiny, like stated above. You can run up to 9 cells"not that you would in a MRC" or 2-3c li-po.

Are you asking about the Tekin FXR? Yes, it has a great drag brake and it is fully adjustable.

Here is a good thread about the FXR: Kaetwo's Tekin FX-R Review...

I guess this is one solution to all the people that have destroyed their aftermarket servos due to the stock losi ECS. This thread is good news, I have been searching through all the losi mini threads to figure out why so many of the aftermarket servos people are trying are getting fried, I guess it's because the losi ESC just can't handle full size servos (BEC). The ESC in this thread look great and a positive solution to frying new servos with the stock losi ESC. This is also good because my losi servo just died yesterday.

The FX-R and B1R are in my opinion the best choices out there for minis.

I assume since switching the electronic speed control seems to be no problem, switching the receiver should also be ok?

Took me 10 minuites to learn to fully program and easy to do without the hotwire chingadera.

Here is a thread that can help you.
