Dual Way Bidirectional Brushed ESC 2S-3S Lipo 5A ESC Speed Control for RC Model Boat Tank 130 180 Brushed Motor Spare Parts

The media could not be loaded. This is the 3rd ESC that I purchase from Amazon. I returned the first 2 and here is why:First - Readytosky 40A: I ordered this one because following the rule of thumb, it is always recommended to use an ESC with a lot more amperage than needed just to be safe. This one worked great in terms of mixing. Turning while stopped and in motion was great. Unfortunately after a few minutes it just quit. If I was lucky, after several hours it would work again just for a few minutes. Issue was not related to overheating because some times it would not work on the first try of the day. This ESC was cheap compared to others in the same range. I guess you get what you pay for.Second - Kingmodel 10AX2: This one was stable. Did not cutout or quit. However mixing was not good. After certain speed it just would not turn. This is kind of normal in this tank type vehicles but in this case, vehicle would have to be basically stopped for turning most of the time.Third - FPVKing 5A (this one): This ESC has good reviews as opposed to the others, however I did not go with this one since the beginning because I was not sure 5A would be enough, but so far it has been great! It is very stable, no disconnections or cutouts whatsoever. Mixing is great, it turns while stopped, low speed or high speed (a bit less which is normal). I tested a few batteries before reassembling the car and did not feel too much heat.The purpose of this ESC is to replace the old Radio Shack receiver and ESC combo. It was old and was not proportional which I don't like. I installed a Traxxas receiver and with this ESC it works like a charm. In the video I show how smooth the driving is at all speeds.I hope this information helps. I was trying to find detailed reviews after the first 2 ESCs failed and just found a few which definitely were decision points to try this third one.

I've used this esc on a bobcat and a tank an it works great! I'd only use a 2s battery though. My opinion

[Update] - while good, the rear motor on my rig continues to stall out so I kind of think the 5A is a little under powered. Mixing capability is fully functional with it, however. A+ on that. Easy to set up.No stall out for the dual N20 motors. This provides the sufficient amount of current with no problems at all. Fully 3s compatible.

Doesn't work

Son lost the remote to his new bright Rc. Used this to rewire the motors and use a hobby grade remote.

Really cool, I would absolutely love this thing if it wasn’t for one little issue.For some reason, when you are going “forward” the left and right commands switch. So if you go left on your transmitter it will go right.But. If your vehicle is sitting still (not going forward or back) the left and right directions are normal.I wish there was a way to fix this, I would buy a lot more.

I needed a few cheap ESCs for an upcoming combat robots tournament so I bought one from here. I’ve used these in the past and they’re OkAy. They can burn out but the biggest complaint I have about the new version is the solder area on the motor section of the chip board. Because I was doing an emergency implant into an already assembled bot I did not want to remove the glue/heat shrinks/ solder connecting the motor wires so I did my soldering on the chip board which was a menace because the solder spots were so small.Overall it *works* if you need a quick esc replacement but if you have time to wait I would go with the Repeat Robotics budget ESC.

Used this for a small tank kit on RC. Unique in that it has the channel mixing and dual ESCs to run the setup without anything fancy in the radio transmitter. Works great, just as advertised.
