Best brushed capable ESC?

[solomon7]

I 've been recommended several like tekin rebel, a few Mtronics, and a quark 33, but I'm not gonna go brushless any time soon. What would be a good ESC for crawlin' with a good drag brake. Only one I know if is the SRC, but they're hard to get right now.

Tekin is good, but reverse delay sucks. I'd just save and get a mamba max if i were you. If you ever decide on trying brushless, you wont have to buy a new esc...just axles and driveshafts!!!

I would say either the mamba max or the new Novak rooster Crawler edition. The Novak will limit your input voltage, but have a great BEC. The Mamba Max will allow you to run brushless or even put it in a fast rig, but needs more BEC for proper servo power.

I thought all Mambas were brushless only. That's what the LHS said,

thats what you get for thinking!! j/k.;-)

Mamba Max is where you need to be looking. Just get some ear plugs with it, those beeps are horrible.

Be confused no more. The guys are telling you the right information, the Mamba Max will run brushed motors.

 

[solomon7]

dumas ? by "the guys" you mean you JIA and all right? So it WILL run brushed? Sorry just confirming!lol

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

The mamba max will run brushed motors too. I ran a 55t lathe motor this weekend with my mamba max. You just have to change the settings.

What do ya mean? Is this one of those "try the search button" things? I suck at that . that is why I ask ha ha

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

It is in the users manual. You use the Castle update software to modify the controller.

Rockin'. Thanks fer the info! Now if I can just find one I can get myself! Tammies is out and I don't know anyone local who may have one. DOn't wanna order on the web. I like tangibility, easier to see what I'm gettin'!
Noone has one in the county! Plenty of comboes if I wanna haul a$$ but no just ESC anywhere. Oh well maybe I'll find one used. Thanks again!!

Does the Novak Rooster crawler with waterproof features? I know few Mtronicks model is waterproof, not too sure about others.

The Rooster Crawler is Water Resistant, !!!NOT!!! Water Proof.

Water Resistant means its hard for the water to get into it but it still can.



Water Proof means Just that.

Bishop power products has some MM. Here

Those beeps make me smile. Mamba Max all the way, more adjustments than any other ESC, and easy as well.
