Upgrade your 1/18 scale oval racer to competition-grade electronics with this standalone Brushless Electronic Speed Control (ESC). While often listed by retailers as the "40A" ESC due to its peak capabilities, this is the official factory replacement unit for the 1RC Racing brushless vehicle line.
This unit is designed to handle the high-RPM demands of the 8700Kv brushless motors used in 1RC Sprint Cars, EDMs, and Midgets. It provides smooth throttle response for oval racing and includes programmable features to tune your car's braking and punch for specific track conditions.
Critical Tech Note: This is a Standalone ESC.
Key Features
-
High-Performance Power: Rated for 10A Continuous and 50A Burst current, providing ample headroom for 1/18 scale racing motors on 2S LiPo.
-
Programmable Settings: Features a "Set Button" on the switch that allows you to adjust critical racing parameters:
-
Running Mode: Forward/Brake (for racing) or Forward/Reverse/Brake (for practice).
-
Drag Brake: Adjust how much the car slows down off-throttle (essential for entering corners on dirt ovals).
-
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC): Protects your LiPo battery from over-discharging.
-
