Hi guys, i need some advice on a good electronic speed controller for my crawler. Heres what i got so far.
Tamiya TXT-1,
4wd steer using Futaba S3305's hi touque metal geared servo's,
Futaba 3pm digital 3ch. (current),
Venom V spec 4ch control (going in this week),
And the speedie....Futaba MC330CR.
The prob? not enough control between forward & reverse!!!
Does anyone have any idea's???
Also.. What to use for diff locking? Im currently using locksnot. (mastic)

I think he might be talking about a reverse delay... Lots of crawlers whinge about delays.

The reverse delay is right. The way it works is when i try for reverse, it goes into brake mode. then i have to try to get the trigger into the neutral position before it goes into reverse. Plus it gets hot very quick. Doesnt shut down, but its gotta be close. I need a esc that doesnt have a delay or a brake mode and that doesnt get hot so quick.
Any ideas???
