the motor was looking like a good find, the esc was the only one that was cost effective, but with no reverse, and limited braking / current handling it is not sounding that good, I think I was reaching on that one, lol

It seems that the mamba units take the same idea of the airplane brushless design and give it car like characteristics. Where the tekin that I have in my rc18t is hard cased and a better fit for cars / trucks. IS there any other good hard case esc's out there that are programable, or is there a way to by the tekin rage just speedo only?
