The ESC on my old AX Scorpion is cutting out and may be on its last leg- NOW it is an older brushless set up- The brushless ESC's are nice but in my fixed income world, kind of expensive to replace - OR do I replace with a 12T HH crawler motor and 1080 ESC? It crawls just great right now but as stated that ESC- any thoughts?

I would run the Hobbywing 1080. It’s super cheap and is great for crawlers. I had one in my wrath for a long time tell I went brushless.

I have a few trucks that I run the 1080 in, paired with Holmes Crawlmaster Sport 550 12t motors. It’s a great setup for 65-70 bucks, and really easy to adjust settings. I also have a few trucks with high priced brushless setups. The 1080/550 Sport combo is the best bang for the buck out there. Just make sure you can fit a 550 can motor in your ride. If not, any of the Holmes 540 brushes motors are great as well.

OK folks looks like the BRUSHED system is the way to go- Now time to measure and take my old scorpion apart- Thanks for the input

We live in a great time now where we are able to get these brush ESC's with all the rock crawling tuning features and powerful brush motors for less than $100!
