MRC Pro electronics

[Kratos]

hey all im gonna be getting one of these and was wondering if i can use my torquemaster brxl with my hobbico cs170. never really checked these out to see if i need super small electronics. id like to be able to use them that way i dont have to buy some new smaller stuff. i plan on getting a hh 33t motor and hitting up cheap battery packs for some batteries. thanks for the input. oh and yea i know these things probably weigh more than others but im not concerned about weight

You probably don't want to run a "full-size" ESC. The best place to put it would be on the front upper links on a custom lexan tray, but something big would likely be, well, too big.

Get one of the micro ESC's. They aren't that expensive, especially if you can find one used. I picked up a Mamba 25 and 8000kv motor for $60 used. I only use the ESC, as the motor is certainly not crawler type (not to mention I already had a HH 33T in my MRC Pro Roller), but it's also severe overkill for my RC-18T.

If you want, check my build thread. I started it with cost effectiveness in mind, while also being comp-able.

I'm not sure about your servo,it should work I guess.
You need 100+ in of torque at min. IMO

its 333oz at 6v. its a standard size servo. not hv though

Oh yeah,you'll be good to go.
