ESC for HBX16889

[FrankC]

Hi all. I was interested in changing out the stock combo rx/esc on the HBX 16889 brushless 1/16 scale with separate components. I have a small receiver (for noble nb4) but having trouble finding a small esc brushless capable w/reverse. Any suggestions? Most of the small esc’s I’ve found are for aircraft (no reverse). 2s is fine!

and a airplane esc might work if you can adjust the deadband wide enough. I've got a few on my drag cars that I run in 1/16 and 1/18 scale

in an airplane esc dont you have to worry about cooling because there is no fan?

Just an update. That Tekin esc is exactly what I needed for this project! Still working great.
