About this part
- Smaller Footprint and Lighter Weight: The M32t Pico 100 is 2mm shorter in length and 3g lighter in net weight than its predecessor. It is built with all aluminum case for the maximum thermal performance and durability.
- Upgraded CPU with 2X of Memory for HD Data Logging: The M32t Pico 100 adapts the same Microchip PIC32 platform, but with twice the memory capacity. This upgrade will expand the potential for next level software innovations such as a sophisticated algorithm and high definition data logging capability.
- Updated USB Type-C Connector: Another significant upgrade in M32t Pro160 is a USB Type-C connector. USB Type C is more versatile and transmits data faster than the typical micro USB. It is also reversible, so it allows for easier connections and lasting durability.
- Refined Algorithm and Profiles: Maclan Racing believes that software is the heart of a great ESC. With their 10+ years of experience in RC competition electronics, Maclan has developed the M32t Pico 100 ESC with an upgraded throttle and brake algorithm. This software features a Dynamic Brake PWM function that allows the ESC to have 2 stages of brake PWM to be set up according to the track conditions.
- Wireless Link Ready:
The Maclan Racing Wireless Link (sold separately) is designed for transmitting data wirelessly between Maclan Racing ESC and mobile devices (Android OS with 5.0 or later, and iOS with 13 or later). With Maclan Racing Smart Link App, it allows ESC programming, firmware updating, and viewing data logs.

IN MY OPINION this esc isn't at all worth bothering with, it worked for a total of roughly three minutes. I tried programming it today and lost throttle, red, orange, and blue lights on or flashing, when the motor did run it was either wide open or reversed with extremely harsh brakes. I tried recalibrating the radio and esc and still nothing. A good day wasted on what I would call a $134.00 piece of garbage, as it was past the 30 day warranty. Even after owning and loving two of the MMax Pro 160's with good results I've determined this will be the last.
Excellent ESc that allows you to program directly with your laptop or desktop without spending an additional 30-50$ for a program card or adapter (cough cough...hotwire). I did have some trouble getting the program to load the first time, but after that it loaded fine with different profiles (ran this same esc in a drift build and a 1/10 race buggy set up completely differently and it worked awesome in both platforms). Unfortunately I accidentally loaded a 3s Batt in the car and fried it, totally my fault. Great buy, highly recommend!
Absolutely the worst product for racing. Unstable. When you buy it it's out of date. So you can't tune it without fighting with website and cheap program card.
Not satisfied with this Maclan ESC. It is difficult to calibrate and also difficult to update the firmware. The programming app has bugs and routinely drops the WIFI signal. Programming parameters do not update frequently resulting in a constant update process. In comparison to Hobbywing and Reedy, this ESC by far is not a plug and play unit. The biggest problem is that this Maclan ESC left me stranded twice during a race. The throttle cut out and power was still being delivered to all electronics including the steering servo. After numerous trouble shooting procedures including setting correct Battery Cut Off, Motor Temp-Cut, and ESC Temp-Cut, this Maclan still cut the throttle out during practice. I disabled all the protection settings and the ESC still cut the throttle. The motor had a fan and would operate generally at a high temp of 150. In all cases the throttle cut would only last about 10 seconds. I also replaced the sensor wire and the ESC still cut out. I will admit I like the feel of the throttle and brake because it feels similar to the Orion ESC's, which basically people can't get any more because of supply issues. So far, I have used Hobbywing, Reedy and Orion with great success. This Maclan ESC is actually a nice design with neat features including exceptional throttle and brake control. I feel bad that Maclan can't get their act together concerning firmware update reliability and electronic engineering design to make this ESC work.
Reasonable price. Easy installation. Smooth accelaratiion and braking. Easy setting. No issue.
Reviews of the Maclan M32T Pico100 Stock Competition ESC are sharply divided. Several owners praise the ability to program it directly from a phone, laptop or desktop without a separate programmer, and some report smooth throttle and braking and cool running in 2WD short course use. Others report serious reliability problems, including one unit that failed after about three minutes and another that cut throttle mid-race while power still reached the steering servo. Reviewers also describe difficult calibration, firmware updates, and a programming app that drops its WiFi connection and suffers from bugs. One reviewer noted that the unit is shipped with outdated firmware. One reviewer reported damage after connecting a 3S battery, which they attributed to their own mistake. The sample is small and the experiences conflict.
