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.

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

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...

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....

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

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

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....
