Default best esc for 6 brushed motors

im building a adt and need a esc to run the brushed motors. I have a axial ax5 esc sitting around and wonder if it be good enough to use? I don't need to run any other motors just the drive motors there stall current is 3.9 amps. I have a picture of the details on the ax5 esc.

6 motors x 4a stall = 24 amps needed.
The axial can supply 180 amps. You're WELL under what it can do without it even thinking of breaking a sweat.

The 2a BEC might start getting close, depending on what else you plan to run off RX power.

L12 is rated at 450 mAh stall, so 0.9 amp.
L16 is rated at 650 mAh stall, so 1.3 amp.

Plus the wiggle-wagon probably needs a big servo to steer. I like some like the hs645mg that can pull 2.5 amp at stall.

It might need a bigger stand alone BEC if the model starts to brown out.

thanks for the info I have 2 l16 actuators. As for the steering the steering servo I have from China needs it's own 12v power supply. I'll have to give it a try and if anything I think I have a bec kicking around.
