Forgot to give some info on this ESC.
I pulled mine out of a TC4 I had laying around and to my suprise
it turned out to be a very good ESC, perfect for crawling.
Here's the stock info and some of my own info and experiences.

A pic of it in my current rig:

I've run it in my TLT crawler with a stock silver can and a 15t and it runs with no issues. I prefer this ESC with a silver can in my TLT as is has good wheel speed. I've bogged it in the mud and took it swimming. I just bagged it. I have had it full of water, I just opened it up let it dry and grooved on.

I like it's features, ESC with reverse, built in fail safe, can run motors down to a 13t, is a plug and go setup (motor wires with plugs makes swapping easy) the AI automatically sets up the ESC just by turning on the controller and hitting the gas.

I can't confirm but the ESC seems to have an electronic brake, as instead of just free wheeling down a hill it stops or has a controlled decent. Which I like when crawling, no more riding the brake. For like $55 it's a pretty good ESC with reverse. I wouldn't hesitate buying one or recommending it to a friend. "thumbsup"

Oh I have it's big brother the Associated AI Bullet Reverse Electronic Digital Speed Control.
Can you say no motor limit! It has the same features just no motor limit, so it'll work in a clod too.

I have the AI Bullet in my Clod crawler, seems to work well... I originally got it so I could run the 14t motors in another Clod I have...
