| Best ESC with best drag brakes?
Hi guys. Im trying to decide which ESC to get with good drag brakes.I need to decide which one I can use especially during climbing or downhill. Im looking at Sidewinder or rooster crawler and I know with sidewinder, I have the options to upgrade to lipo later but Im not sure about how good the drag brakes is. With Rooster crawler I have used it on my other rigs and its flawless and the drag brakes is awesome but the problem is, I have limited upgrades on it compared to sidewinder. Need help crawlers.

None of those have drag brakes comparable to the internal drag of a Puller motor! Those magnets are STRONG! Chriz, I run a Sindewinder (w/drag set at 50%) and 7T puller in the truck that you saw at the comp this past weekend and that thing will stop on a dime and hold that position on any hill. BTW, if you end up with a Castle Creations product, I've got the Castle Link and set any specs that you need! |

If you go to the other thread someone asking about what ESC to run most everyone on that page says go with a Castle product and most everyone on this page says go with Tekin , I have a few Sidewinders and they work great I'm happy with them.

| Thats because he is specifically asking about drag breaks. The tekin is in a different relm when it comes to that. If you ever tried a Tekin to would more than likely be selling your sidewinder to buy one. |

Side winders and mambas are MADE by castle, reasonably enough, for some people, thats reason enough alone to go that route. i went with a tekkin because its small, is programable via buttons on the thing, and via hotwire (pc interface) and drag brake. just make sure you solder the capacitor to the right side.... |
