Default ESC

Is there a cheap ESC, like $30 or less that can handle a 12 turn motor?

The motor I am hoping to get is the Associated Reedy KR 12T Double Modified Motor.

I don't think there is an ESC 30 dollars or less period... if it is 30 then it probably sucks but the only ones I know that can handel 12 turns is novak GTX AE QC2,3 and the GTB and the Rooster and the dually buy all of those cost in the 100's

At Discount Hobby Warehouse they have a Duratrax Tazer 15 for 29.99 plust tax. This is the cheapest in the market, but only 15T. LHS people did not recomend it because it has limited features.

Here is the link.

If you want to go with a fast motor, you got to get a quality ESC that can handle it.

Here are some recomendations

http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/551747.asp (Novak GTS 12 t motor limit @ 79.99)

http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/383430.asp (LRP A.I. Auto Pro Reverse ESC - Over 10 T @ 69.99)

http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/159210.asp (Viper Tempo 11 - 11 T @ 49.99)

That motor you want cost around $80.00 already, and you want something around $30.00 for an ESC.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, but I think since I am on a budget I will save up and get a 19 turn motor. I have an ESC that can handle it.
