Second python pro ive used and not alot. The wires suck, ive had to purchase multiple esc to reciever wires. The connection to the battery inside is also a problem you shouldn't have to wiggle it to get a connection.

I bought this to put in my Hiroyama to go with the mini Godzilla motor that was in it. It works very well, and I have it set to 60% forward, and 40% reverse. Otherwise it's just too much until I can get in a big area. That's okay with me since the battery is very happy with less load anyway. I had trouble at first, and then I downloaded the app and it was smooth sailing from there. You launch the app on your phone and it finds the ESC. Setup is very easy. I had to reverse the motor from CW to CCW, but doing it at the ESC makes much more sense than reversing the transmitter controls. There are a lot of things to change to make it work the way you want it. I have a slight amount of drag brake so it won't roll down hills. It's amazing how smooth it crawls really slow. If I change it from crawler to monster truck, it will freewheel, which is cool. I really like it. I'm sure I could have gotten away with a lesser ESC, but I'm glad I picked this one. It's nice!

Installed on an SCX24 C10. This ESC will allow you to crawl your truck at extreme slow speeds. The app connectivity works well. Do not engage a drag brake if using on SCX24, this will cause the motor to get extremely hot, make sure drag brake is set to 0. I do wish this was an ESC/RX combo so I could ditch the stock one.

The 2nd cable to plug in battery (from two pin white connector to red battery connection) was not included inside packaging. This was a fully sealed from factory packaging. This does not inspire confidence since not all parts included to operate it. Luckily I’d instinctively bought several of these connectors from Furitek weeks before ordering this esc! Just be prepared qc is clearly lacking from Furitek. If you buy this, it might not have what you need to use it. Might go up in flames. I’m definitely going to set this up outside, as I have no faith it won’t start a fire.

Decided to crap out after 3 runs. Now I'm outside the return window and stuck with a $120 piece of junk that's not even worth being a paper weight. I'll just go with the $20 Amazon special. Thanks Furitek!

Most praising reviews highlight smooth slow crawling, easy setup through the phone app, and good performance in micro crawlers and small trucks such as the SCX24 and Hiroyama.

Lower ratings report a missing battery connector cable in sealed packaging, a loose battery connection, poor wires, and one unit failing after three runs. One reviewer noted a lack of quality control. Several reviewers wished for a combined ESC and receiver. Some reviews cite variant details, such as a 4S battery with 8.4 V BEC, that are not fully explained.
