wouldn't trust it in an e-maxx personally.

As TBJ said they run hot as is in 2wd RC's. Wouldn't want to see how hot it would get in an e-maxx

IMO you should get an ESC more rated for the application.
Normally I would agree, maybe I'm missing something. The VXL esc can handle more amperage than the CC MMM esc. What makes this only good for smaller 10 scale trucks?

Also, the reason for this post in the first place is because I want to run the truck in water like I do brushed. I know I can modify another esc to be waterproof but I didn't want to if I didn't have too.

If that were the case, everybody would be running VXL 3S ESCs in their 1/8 scales and monster trucks rather than MMMs, RX8s, and HW 150a XEruns. Considering how long all of those options have been on the market, somebody would have figured it out by now.

If you want to run that ESC in your E Maxx, go right ahead. It's not waterproof, either. Wait, yes it is, Traxxas says so[&:]
