tamiya esc

If you are just going for fwd/rev action, Castle Creation 1/10 Sidewinder is a very good meduim budget ESC. It's better than average but not as expensive as some of yer high-end ECS.

Do you have a source for the "servonaut" unit? Do you have a listing of the functions available on this unit? I'm just looking for alternatives to the Tamiya MFU, and the pro/con associated with these alternate units.

Thank you,

Jim

Servonaut you'd want a M20+ or a S20 for ESC. The M20+ has lighting included onboard that you have to buy the ML4 to get with the S20. It also has cruise control which is not usual for ESCs over here. I have the S20 and have been very happy with it. It costs about $150. I do not like the whine of ESC PWM and at 16kHz the S20 is silent. I also have the SMX sound unit and I will do a write up on here of it later this summer when I get around to installing it. The SMX is about $275 so with all the stuff together the Servonaut option is not cheaper.

Thank you for the response. I'll be looking forward to the review/write-up later this summer. Where did you get them from? Web-site source?

Cost wise it sounds as though a "full function" system is going to be in the same arena as the Tamiya MFU, so it comes down to perfromance, options, and preference?

Thank you,

Jim
