| Holmes BR Mini Dual Waterproof or Not?
Hey guys, so I’m getting ready to order the Holmes BR Mini Dual ESC’s for my Bully II, should I get the waterproof or not? Any disadvantages to either? What do most guys in the comp crawler scene order for their comp crawlers when they run these things? Thanks!

I'm sure the folks here will chime in with experience and what might work best, but I'd call Holmes and see what they have to say!

| Re: Holmes BR Mini Dual Waterproof or Not? Well Holmes isn’t doing phone calls now because of Coronavirus I used their online message form and asked their advice about this yesterday but never heard back, and now this morning the waterproofed ones are sold out. I asked Samu Zarizi about this yesterday too and this morning got the message to get the waterproof one. There is no way to pre-order Holmes stuff that I can see .. so I’m pretty frustrated now.

Some don’t like the waterproofed ones because of the extra heat generated. If you run in the wet you can also put the conformal coating on it yourself. I don’t run the waterproof versions myself, and have driven in rain many times. I haven’t ran into a problem yet... knock on wood (my head) |

I think you will be better off then, yes. I like the HH Puller series, I have both 500’s and 400’s. I know a lot of people swear by the Brood Stubbys but I have only run his 540 motors years ago so don’t have any input. |

| Re: Holmes BR Mini Dual Waterproof or Not? Ok cool thanks .. just ordered the ESC, will wait for Team Puller 500’s. What do you run for shocks? A few years ago when I got this I was planning on Dravtech comp shocks .. but they’re out of business now, any suggestions? Thanks again |
