Default RE: adding an ESC to a first gen Tamiya Sherman

You mean that my Sherman is going to be that gutless? Not even RS 380's? I think I'll have to mod that....

Thanks WhiteWolf for the info.

BTW as a Traxxian enthusiast ( I have two TMaxx's, one big-blocked), I have been enlightened that teh EMaxx speed controllers are crap! They tried to build it themselves, failed miserably, then farmed it out to (I believe) Novak. They were excellent usnits, but cost too much for Traxxas' tastes. When they released their new improved waterproof eMaxx,they put in an inhouse built ESC again and they burn out in a matter of hours. My local hobby shop has given up on Traxxas warranty on them, and supplies HPI ESavage ESC's with their EMaxxes.
