 When it comes to choosing your first ESC, you have many options. I'll try to narrow down your choices...
What Brand: Just like everything else, I'm going to suggest you stick with what is the most popular at our local tracks...ORCA Why ORCA: ORCA ESCs are very high quality and are reasonably priced. ORCA also goes above and beyond to support our local clubs with prizes, gifts and other support so returning that favour to ORCA by purchasing their products will help continue this into the future. Additionally, virtually all of the fast drivers at our tracks run ORCA so you'll be able to get support from several people to ensure your ESC is set up correctly Which ORCA ESC Model: Depending on your budget, you have a few different choices. Here they are, listed from lowest price to highest
Where to buy: I stock ORCA ESCs and special order other brands such as HobbyWing, Elceram and Coyote approximately once per month Here's a link to all of the ESC's I currently have available: And here are some that I can order: New vs Used Used ESCs don't come up very often but people do upgrade from time-to-time so it's worth considering a good used one. I highly recommend you stay away from all brands other than ORCA and possibly HobbyWing. With the new ORCA ESCs being so affordable, it's not worth the trouble for you to mess around with a used ESC that nobody else runs. You'll be better off with a brand new Totem rather than some old, used ESC from another brand for a similar price To find a used ESC, try posting a "wanted" ad on our local Facebook buy and sell page: Back to Getting Started Series > Comments are closed.
