Hey Adam, What do you think of this esc?? I have a chance to get one of these in a trade.


Looks good. One thing I diddnt see specs for is the BEC which is how much current it feeds the servos. Check into it and figure out what it has, its important. With a crawler you want AT LEAST 2 amps BEC. Anything less will not be good. The Tekin I have has a 5 amp BEC and its only $80. Thats what I reccomend.


EDIT...after further searching, I would not reccomend this ESC. On associated's website, it says it only has a 5 volt BEC, adn doesnt even list the amperage, so I'm assuming its low. You want a 6 volt BEC. WIth a 5 volt, the servos will not get the voltage they need to put out the most torque available. You will have weak steering, and if the amperage is low, glitchy controls, and it may not even work, and you will end up having to run a separate battery pack to power the servos.

Id just bit the bullet and buy a Tekin Rebel II.
