Everyone always has gripes, here are mine. 1. Motor limitations are too tight. Would be nice if it would handle a 20t on 3s. 2. Needs a real bec, even on 2s this bec isn't usable. 3. Calibration is easy, programming is a pain, must have hotwire 3.0 but can not use bluetooth function. Otherwise this really is an awesome esc! The active drag break function works flawlessly. I recommend this to anyone with a scale truck, just read the description fully. I also have a rx4 which is absolutely amazing but a little on expensive side.
This unit seems to have some odd glitchs. The Tekin FXR is a much better unit.
Do not buy. First course on a fresh build and the truck became unresponsive to my inputs, and glitched out of control.
Three reviews with mixed ratings (4, 2 and 1 out of 5), all from verified owners of the Tekin BXR Waterproof Brushed Motor Crawler ESC. One reviewer rates it highly, praising the active drag brake, and recommends it for scale trucks while noting the limits on motor size and BEC. Another reviewer reports the truck became unresponsive and glitched out of control during the first run of a new build. A third reports odd glitches and prefers the Tekin FXR. Reviewers point to motor limits and programming difficulty as recurring concerns, with the Hotwire 3.0 programming pain point mentioned. The sample is small and the experiences conflict.

- + Easy calibration
- + Recommended for scale trucks
- − Motor limit too tight (no 20T on 3S)
