Inexpensive Esc

[taliesin]

i'm looking for recommendations for a good quality speed control to run down to a 15 turn motor. needs to have reverse for bashing. i have very little experience with buying speed controls, i usually go with the teu-101bk and am happy with it, but i got a hot motor and i wanna put it in a 2wd buggy.

I have an old Novak Rooster that has been in about 10 cars. I only use stock motors now, but it has seen 14 turns before and been happy. The limit is supposedly 15, but what they don't know won't hurt them, especially with an 8 year old ESC. I even used it with dual 540s in my Clod. (I think next it's gonna go in my Hotshot if it will fit, since the TEU101 keeps thermaling out inside that little plastic prison of a chassis.)

The equivalent to the Rooster today is called a GTS, it's rated down to 12 turns and retails for around $70.

The Nosram Hawk power reverse is a good speedo.Goes down to 15 turns and is waterproof too!

that's not too bad. the 15 turn motor is probably too fast for the buggy, but i got it so i should at least try it out, eh?

I had a 15 turn double in an RC10B3 a few years ago and it was just about right. It felt really powerful, but not out of control. The same motor was a bit much for a Wild Willy 2, however...

I have 6 of them and 3 of the the LRP versions(LRP own Nosram so they are the same except ones red and ones blue),they`ve never let me down and well worth the money i think.

Futaba MC330CR! Cheap from HK sellers and is a great ESC with 6V BEC.
