Norco Kid 61 Posted June 6, 2020 For some of the older Re-re's that are still in production like the Brat, Frog, Lunchbox, Hornet etc do they now come with the current TBLE-02S ESC or do they still have the old TEU-101BK ESCs? Towerhobbies description still says the old ones but I don't think they ever update those descriptions and I'm not sure if Tamiya would have made a running change as 101BK is listed as discontinued on their website.

Mine have either come with no ESC or the TBLE-02S. I've never received a kit with a 101 or 105 ESC, but the first kit I bought this time around was late 2016 I think by which time the TBLE-02S was the standard kit one. I have seen plenty of descriptions saying it comes with the 105BK but never received one too, so would assume its an old description but happy to be corrected.

I know nothing about the previous generation ESC Since you got a 104 recently it suggests theres some older ones out there still though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know nothing about the previous generation ESC Since you got a 104 recently it suggests theres some older ones out there still though My Stadium Blitzer came with a 104 I bought a couple of years ago, they don’t have a 6v BEC so the steering servo gets the full main battery voltage so you need a high voltage servo ( Mine incidentally only lasted 2 runs before it fried ) The 105 has a 6v BEC and is rated up to a Torque Tuned motor. ( I’m guessing it’s the Sport Tuned motor is what blew my 104 after seeing that, along with it did get wet as well ) Any other kit, including a Brat, I’ve bought has had a TBLE 02 in it that runs a Sport Tuned no problem. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norco Kid 61 Posted June 6, 2020 Thanks guys! Sounds like they are now coming with the TBLE-02S unless you get some old stock. Great news if you want to run a mild brushless! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
