Great ESC includes sensor wires and really cool don't need a program box it automatically links up to phone app.
Couldn’t be happier with this ESC. Plenty of tuning options with it and plenty powerful. Came with everything I needed to install. Fast shipping and a great price. Can’t complain one bit.
I have had this ESC for less than a year, and it has already failed. I may have taken the car to the track 10 times and it had been cutting out randomly on the last couple times. Now it wont even power on. The bluetooth connection is not great and most times it won't even connect.
Throttle feels good. Tuning from the phone is very nice, but it does have a tendency to kind of bog out in certain spots. Particularly when I between rolling jumps where I’ve got a lot of traction and I’m heavy on throttle. I run low gearing on a low KV motor, but this esc kinda freaks out when I do that sometimes. Otherwise, very nice set up
Great product. Warranty is outstanding. Recommend A++
Reviewers largely praise this 200A sensored brushless ESC for strong power delivery, smooth throttle and braking, and easy tuning through the Bluetooth phone app, with no program box needed. Several note it works well in truggy and buggy builds and runs cooler than some alternatives. Recurring criticism centres on a single report of failure within a year, with the unit cutting out before failing to power on, and on Bluetooth connectivity that was unreliable for that owner. Another reviewer reported bogging or cutting out on throttle when running low gearing with a low-KV motor. Warranty and service were praised. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, but the sample is small and the reliability concerns come from one reviewer.
- + Strong, linear power delivery
- + Smooth throttle and braking
- + Easy tuning via phone app
- + Good warranty and service
- − Single reported failure within a year
- − Unreliable Bluetooth connection for one owner
- − Bogs or cuts out with low gearing and low-KV motor
