Not made for robot combat

I’ve used these ESC’s in several 3 pound combat robot fights and, sadly, they overheat or just randomly turn on/off after little to no damage. My circuits and voltage were within manufacturer thresholds yet it just wasn’t reliable. I then spoke to several bot veterans about it and they all had similar issues with this ESC and told me to avoid this product. I wish it wasn’t true, but this ESC is just for very, very simple projects.

Amazing product.

Bought to be put into one of Lesu Skid Steer. I love how it was simple/ small to install. Fits perfectly inside. Works perfectly as well. Enough to power the dual-motor with no issues. Overall would buy again if needed.

not best

Not the Best Controller. Battery eliminator circuit has poor performance. If you plan to implement 1 or 2 servos to your receiver, good luck . I should have tried the 1amp bec version of this controller. It would be nice if they provided more info regarding the specs of the bec

Speed control

Good product. Easy to hook up and does what it is supposed to do. A little pricey but worth it.

All good

I installed one of the two I ordered into a Bruder D-4 tractor. I adjusted the end points and it works well. The other one I installed into a Tonka tractor and it also works well. I am very confident it will work for a long time.
