Esc's for running Brushed Motors

[knighthawk]

I'm looking at running a Tamiya M05 at a local club on a Friday night.
When I used to run a M05 a couple years ago I used a LRP Quatum 3, but these are like rocking horse now to find and expensive to boot !

Can anyone recommend a good Brushed Esc, that has a lipo cutoff and maybe programable profiles

Cheers for help !

I have been using a basic Absima ecu-1 ESC in my sons team c jeckyll witha 15t brushed Absima motor. Works a treat and has basic presets for different battery types including low voltage cut off.

Dead easy to use and very reliable so far!!

I run one of these and really can't fault it. Handles my LIPO and 21T motor with ease and doesn't get hot. There is no real programming (do you really need it for a mini?) but there is a LIPO cutoff:thumbsup:

For a fully programmable brushed ESC with lipo cutoff there's the Tekin FX and FX-R. Easy to set up using the lights but add the Tekin Hotwire and you can tune everything with a laptop.

For MRT ESCs, the only one with a lipo cutoff is the MRT MX TSX.

Plenty of old brushed race ESCs around going very cheap, but none of them will have a lipo cutoff. For racing in a mini you are unlikely to ever get the battery low enough for a cutoff, and you can always add a separate lipo alarm or cutoff just in case.

I retract my comments recommending the Hobbyking £7 esc. Yes it worked great with my 2400 Lipo but tonight I manged 5 laps with my 5000 mAh LIPO and then car stops + bad smell! - and that was running silver can in my M03!!!
