I had the tazer 15T ESC running the dual 380 motors on my Cliff Climber. It works really great for the price! Not sure how it works with higher turn motors, but I haven't had any problems with it.

i got an SCX10, don't want to really use this for alot of crawling, my truck will mostly see mud and trail riding. I did get a 27t motor for free when i bought a shit load of stuff from the hobby shop.

For mud, you are better off with something like a Sidewinder or XL5....an ESC that is somewhat water resistant.

how does the xl5 work on a creeper?

JeremyH 11-04-2009 09:38 AM

The XL5 is, in general, a pretty crappy ESC for crawlers....but, it's cheap!

The Sidewinder is a MUCH better ESC for a creeper...

I usually waterproof all my electronics with die-electric grease and hobby box, it always worked for me, but thanks for the advise

how about the axial electronics esc,motor they are also a dime a dozen on ebay would that be a good way to go or just pay for the fxr and 55t or 35t motor thanks.

That's even better!

The ESC you originally asked about should work fine, but it wont have much of a drag brake, if that's something you need. To compensate, you can always just use really stiff motor springs....

S ARR T 8 11-04-2009 12:22 PM

thanks i am new to crawling and just bought a creeper and was looking for somthing that will get me going I like the price of the axial stuff a littelbetter than the tekin found an axial esc and 55t or35t motor on ebay what is the diff between 55t and 35t thanks.

JeremyH 11-04-2009 12:28 PM

That Axial ESC should work fine in your Creeper. It is not the best on the market, but it's not the worst either...

S ARR T 8 11-04-2009 12:40 PM

OK I checked out the sidewinder on ppr website 69 bucks I can handel that next ? witch motor would you recomend thanks again fo the quick input you really are a great help.

JeremyH 11-04-2009 12:54 PM

For a Creeper? Not sure....I dont really know what gearing the tranny and diffs have. You might want to check in the Creeper section. It will also depend on the voltage supplied by your battery.

thanks Jeremy

I also check that this esc is from 15t or higher turn motor so i should be fine there too, but i think i'll install my 27t freebie get some mud flying action, but if you don't mind sir I got another question. What would be the best gearing set-up for my 27t, right now I got 14t mounted in there.

thanks again

JeremyH 11-04-2009 02:46 PM

That will really be personal preference. Give the 14t/87t a shot and see how you like it. You can simply use the gearing as a tool to fine tune your motor. Unlike race cars, these motors dont really get that hot, so the gearing isnt really used to cool the motor....
