Cheap ESC for new Monster Beetle?

[vtgrrrs]

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a cheap (preferrably waterproof) ESC for a new Monster Beetle.

I would normally just get one that comes with a deal but I'm looking to save a few quid. Also, I wouldn't want to faff about about changing connectors and stuff.

Thanks.

Is this the same as the Hobbywing 1060?

Hobbywing 1060 all day long, can't be beaten on price for spec.

Nope, well yes almost the same but the little brother. on the pictures it says wp-1040 thats for 1:18 cars

Interresting that it has a XT60 plug

Look for quicrun 1060

Looks like a cheap copy. I would pay £3 more and get the real thing

I thought they came with a TBLE-02S in the kit?

[vtgrrrs]

Not sure - some of the listing symptoms on ebay don't stay whether they do or don't. I know Modelsport and Goldstarstockists are selling a kit without ESC for £120.

Think I got mine for £119. With ESC from Fusion.

Duratrax Intellispeeds have worked pretty well for me on runners for brushed. Good power, only issue is a high pitch whine...

But if waterproof is a priority I've run one of these and it's worked well. Mine has a Tamiya connector... can't recall if it came with it or I installed it...

Another vote for hobbywing 1060. auto programming, stoopid proof lipo/nimh and f/b/r mode changes, waterproof, and cheap!
