About the Crest RS80 Brushless ESC
Advanced Competition Performance
The Crest RS80 is developed using racing-tested technology to ensure peak performance in high-stress competitive environments. Its sensored brushless design delivers ultra-smooth throttle and braking control, enhancing responsiveness during tight maneuvers. With efficient heat dissipation built into the compact design, it maintains performance even during extended sessions.
Durable Design & Protection
This ESC features a built-in capacitor module for a cleaner, more durable setup, making external capacitors and tangled wiring a thing of the past. This reduces installation complexity and minimizes the risk of connection issues or damage from vibration. Reverse polarity protection circuitry further protects the ESC, making the Crest RS80 a worry-free addition to your RC build.
Smart Monitoring & Customization
With built-in features like adjustable RPM limiting and offline data recording, the Crest RS80 is all about customization. Users can fine-tune their RPM from 10,000 to 18,000 in 1,000 RPM increments and analyze performance data via the Cayote BTune ESC Bluetooth Module (CYECBM01 - sold separately) or Cayote Xlink Multifunction LCD Program Box (CYECPB01 - sold separately) when using the Cayote APP. This level of precision ensures better handling and strategic insight for competitive drivers.

Great ESC, everything is straight forward. Will buy again when a need arises
Installed in Schumacher LD3m with HW 21.5 fixed timing motor. Does everything I need for class requirements. Settings are easy to acces with the BT module. Only complaint I would have is no stickers were included with the ESC or Programmers.
The esc works but it is not programmable which makes it virtually pointless for racing no brake adjustment no throttle adjustment nothing then all of a sudden CAYOTE decides they want to add programmability to the newer inventory so everyone who purchased the first batch gets a esc that can’t be adjusted and the company had not issued an update for the esc I honestly want my esc replaced with a newer inventory version.. The link below shows the new inventory’s ability to be adjusted none of these options are available on my esc unfortunately just buy hobbywing. https://fb.watch/I8kDUcmCY3/?mibextid=wwXIfr&fs=e
Reviewers describe the Cayote Crest RS80 Stock 80A sensored brushless ESC as straightforward to use. One verified owner reports it works well in a Schumacher LD3m with a fixed-timing motor, meeting class requirements, with settings easily accessed via the Bluetooth module. Another verified owner reports that their unit, from an earlier inventory batch, is not programmable, leaving brake and throttle adjustments unavailable, and states that newer inventory adds programmability without an update for earlier units. One reviewer noted that no stickers were included. Reviews are few and mixed, so the picture is limited.
- + Straightforward to use
- + Meets stock class requirements in a fixed-timing setup
- + Settings easy to access via Bluetooth module
- − Earlier batch reported as not programmable
- − No firmware update offered for earlier units, per one reviewer
- − No stickers included
