About this part

The Reedy SC480X 1/10 Scale Brushed Crawler ESC is a trail tested and proven, simple to use, economical, and powerful ESC for trail truck and crawler enthusiasts. This ESC offers excellent forward/reverse/brake feel, a wide range of adjustability, and robust hardware make the SC480X suitable for both trail truck and crawler applications.

The pre-programmed default ESC settings work very well in most situations, but if you want access to additional settings for fine-tuning, you can do so using optional Program Card (#27034). The following settings can be changed using the Program Card:

  • Initial Drive: Throttle applied the moment the trigger is moved from the neutral position to the throttle range.
  • Low-Voltage Cutoff: The cell voltage at which the ESC will shut off to protect the battery.
  • Drag Brake: The brake force applied when the throttle trigger is returned to the neutral position.
  • Max Reverse Power: The maximum reverse speed allowed relative to the forward speed.
  • Punch Control: The aggressiveness of the application of throttle.

Bill Seilnachton Reedy SC480X 1/10 Scale Brushed Crawler ESC

Lets face it we all are trying to get a economical ESC for our crawlers. Well this is it. Add the tuning card and it's a great crawling combo. I have them in 9 of my crawlers. pair with a Reddy 5 slot 16 t motor and you have a winning combo of performance that is easy on the wallet.

nice esc. wish the program card allowed adjustment for bec voltage between 6v/7.4v.

What reviewers say

Reviewers consistently rate the Reedy SC480X brushed crawler ESC highly and describe it as an affordable option for crawlers. Owners report smooth forward and reverse operation, a 7.4V BEC, and simple installation. One owner says it performs well once the tuning card is added and pairs well with a 5-slot 16T motor. A single reviewer would like the program card to allow BEC voltage adjustment between 6V and 7.4V. All reviews are for the same variant, and the sample is small.

  • + Affordable price for crawlers
  • + Smooth forward and reverse operation
  • + 7.4V BEC
  • + Simple installation
  • − BEC voltage not adjustable to 6V via program card
