syncronized 0 Posted December 5, 2007 I just finished a conversation with a guy from Team Associated and apparantly all the LRP AI series ESC's are waterproof. If you guys had a choice for a snow basher equipped with a Tamiya TZ, which would you choose.... LRP AI Automatic Super Reverse Digital ESC Forward / Brake / Reverse Size 42.5 x 42.5 mm Weight (without wires) 47.5 g Input Voltage 4-7 cells (4.8 - 8.4V) Typical voltage drop @20A* 0.160 Current* 120 A Rec. Motorlimit** Over 13 turns REC voltage 5.0 V High Frequency Fail Safe System Multi Protection System Connectors: Standard Tamiya Set-up Procedure: Automatic Limited Lifetime Warranty OR Mtroniks Viper Truck ESC ABSOLUTE short circuit and motor overload protection 15 turn motor limit (Single motor) or dual 27 turn motor limit (2 motors) Dual core microprocessor Pre-wired at the factory for easy installation 5-10 cells input voltage Externally mounted BEC 4 Layer super power circuit board Thermal integrated protection system Digital one touchset up Legendary 100% waterproof design Dimensions : L39.0mm x W34.0mm x H13.0mm Weight : 55g Each VIPER ESC incorporates a 1.2A BEC and the latest state of the art technology and GEN-Xi power FETs! Also, I'm planning to go 7 cells....is either of the ESC's and my TZ a good match? Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mud-Plugger 2 Posted December 7, 2007 Well I'm afraid I wouldn't buy anything from Mtroniks myself as they've let me down just too many times. Regardless of what people say about their fantastic customer service, if you're out in the field and white smoke just starts pouring out of your esc, then you've had it. Mud.

Biggins 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Just for balance I have had 2 lrp Runners (the new smaller waterproof ones) go up in smoke and melt. I have also had one Mtroniks stop working. Both companies replaced them FOC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCLXVI 3 Posted April 7, 2008 I've lost two LRP's (F1 Pro's), one due to one drop of water from a small puddle I ran through and one from moist sand... I've have two Mtroniks and both have worked super so far... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
