Like the title says I need some suggestions on a fairly cheap brushed esc that can handle two- 17 turn single wind brushed motors. Any idea's would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Bob

Traxxas?

EVX-2 ?
Traxxas' own specs rate it down to 10-12 turns. I didn't think they'd handle something that hot, but if that's what Traxxas says it can do, guess that's what it is then.

It's going to be tough, any ESC that has a low turn limit is spec'd for a SINGLE motor!
If it states that the lowest turn is a 12T, running duals really need to be 2 x ~30T, NOT 2 x 12T!
I think you are really stuck with higher turns or dual ESC's.
You may also run into voltage limits, what are you planning to use for batteries?
Why so low in turns??

Not sure that is possible. :shock: What exactly are you trying to do:roll:
Find a used Novak Super Rooster, its supposed to be good down to 15T for dual motors. Or Novak Super Duty XR.
Specs: Reversible ESCs

Evx2 . I've ran dual 14 turns and 17 turns in a clod with no problems.

Neither , it's designed to run on 2 8 cell nimh packs . "thumbsup". I plan on running 2 -2s packs with lipo cut offs soon. I've seen plenty do it with no probs.And I'm aware of the voltage + turn issue. I Rc drag race also. I've exploded , fried my fair share of motors and esc's and lipos.

You could also pick up a couple of the axial ( sidewinders) in the 4 sale section.ive seen Plenty go for around 30 bucks. Since everyone wants to pull them out first thing. Hobby king also has some cheap esc's but they can be hit and miss.

Soooo......I will guess the 3S LiPO is the target (you'll be a little lower, this is good).

Holmes Hobbies BRXL, may not be the cheapest, but no single brushed motor limit as well as up to 6s lipo input! with 2 17t's on 4s you might have to keep an eye on temps but it should do the job well. as well as its extremely adjustable with castle link.

The only two that come to mind are the Traxxas EVX-2, which'll work off of 4s as long as you don't have expectations of good crawlibility.
Or you can pony up for a Holmes BRXL and never have to worry about it, and it's programmable for literally any driving style or vehicle.
