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.

I'll be running the actuators for the lift 2 actuonix.

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.
