Dual motor: Which ESC for Clod Buster, USA-1 trucks?

[Moe]

Which ESC will work with these trucks? How about Futaba MC230CR? TIA!

A novak super rooster reversible should work for you.

Or the Traxxas EVX will also work. A lot of them on E-Bay.
I think that the Super Rooster as mwkid19 said is a better ( little better in taking that high end amperage) than the EVX. But which ever you can get for less would be good:p

Tekin Titan (You can still find these at some LHS)

Most ESCs won't work with dual motors, but there are some designed
specifically for that purpose.


Check this out: http://www.mtroniks.net/whatsnew.htm

Take a look at the M.sonik 3 Super E- Truck!

That's a VERY creative new product. They even have a waterproof receiver
(only for 40mhz, so far-bummer...).

I have a lower-end ESC from them (the RV-15 Sport) and have had no problems.

Actually, I poked around a bit more on their site- look at this page, too:
http://www.mtroniks.net/special.htm

They also have the M.sonik-3 Truck, and the M.sonik-3 SuperTruck (they need
better product names!).

While I realize that Novak has very reliable and high-performance ESCs, I
think their line-up of non-race ESCs is very dated.

Tekin was a good company- long gone, no real product support anymore.

Most of the other ESC mfgs don't make a dual-motor speed control.


But: holy sh*t, man- these are waterproof and are designed to provide 5volts
for accessories with specific brake AND reverse light connectors... that's
really neat!

p.s. I DO love my old Novak Duster II, it's been through hell and never
flinched once. My GM V3R is OK, as long as you NEVER turn of your radio
before it- it just plain goes nuts, running in reverse, full speed- finger
OFF the trigger, and stops(sometimes) when you PULL the trigger. It's
because it programs itself to your radio whenever you turn it on, but I find
that it happens when you crash hard enough, as well! Even my old Traxxas
speed control still doesn't do that...

Go with a super rooster. I have one in my clod and it works great.
One often over looked spec in choosing a 4x4x4 ESC is the steering servo
voltage/amperage output. I believe the SR is 6V and others are 4.8.
This makes a big difference in steering. Hardly noticeable in a sedan
or buggy, but in an MT it makes a big differnce.
