RE: Replacing an ESC
This ESC is a "negative shift", it will work on JR/Hitec and all negative shift radios/recievers. You must make sure you have a negative shift and not a positive shift (Futaba) type connector. Look at the connector of your (damaged) ESC and compare it to the connector you are interested in. the wire color sequence must be the same. ie. my esc (neg shift) the color seq. is "Brown/Red/Orange or Black/Red/White" if it was a pos. shift it would be as follows, "RED/Black/White. Make double sure you are getting the right one. Look on your receiver there is usually a reference sticker that shows how the servo/esc connectors should align. ie. (-neg/+pos/s signal) if the center pin is negative then you have a positive shift, if the center pin is positive then you have a negative shift. Hope I didn't confuse you. Make sure you plug in your servos and esc properly to the receiver, it is possible to plug them in backwards (upside down).
As far as amp rating, Yes this will work.
