| Waterproof ESC
Hi, I'm building a e-maxx crawler. I looking to put a 45t lathe motor and using? the e/maxx trans. Would the traxxas xl-5 waterpoof esc work or the xl-10. I really want the esc to be waterproof. I'll take any opinions. Also using 4200mah nimh 6cell batteries. Timmerflyer |

For general knowledge: You have to really pay attention to what the ESC can handle as you go down on turns, up isn't as big of a deal. Someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong. |

it's the low turn motors you got to worry about not the high turns.
