Default Thunder Tiger sub

What is a good ESC for the Thunder Tiger Sub? It seems to require 12V?

Guys,

Gotta agree with Nuke. I have been using the MTroniks ESC's and have found them to be absolutly bulletproof. Highly recommended Here is a link to their website: http://www.mtroniks.net/products.asp...ontrollers.htm

I think that the thunder tiger sub is nothing more than a glorified toy. Just my opinion though.

Jim,

I dunno about that. Mtroniks ESC's are waterproof but I don't know if I would tempt fate.... too many other dumb things I have done in my life on accident, let alone on purpose.

Yeah you dont want to take your chances on something that is providing juice to your RX through a BEC and lose the whole boat. The waterproof part is just great incase of a small disaster atleast something would survive. Besides you sohuldnt be that pressed for space considering how small M tronics can make them.
