Hi,
I'm sorry if this gets asked a lot but i'm not quite sure what esc to get for my car and i need some help.
What determines what esc i should get?
I know i haved a brushed motor so i can only use a brushed esc but thats pretty much all i know, i am very new to this.
Thanks.

The Novak Havoc Sport does both brushed and sensored brushless. It's no longer made, but is widely available used.
The battery you use will also influence your decision. Most ESCs run on 2s, but require a separate receiver battery or voltage booster for 1s.

The ESC provides throttle control for the motor. In some cases including reverse capability. Provides the same function for a brushed, sensored brushless, or non-sensored brushless motor, just need an ESC with appropriate capability as is being discussed.
