as the title says. I'm looking for a 1/18 brushed ESC that can handle 2s lipo. 2n1's need not apply. motor is the stock Dromida i think it's a 370 size motor, no idea on turns.
the less expensive the better.
anyone got any recommendations or idea's? i really don't want to convert to brushless, it's more money than i care to spend on this thing. frankly the ESC is stretching the budget on this.

Hold on here. Are we looking for just a standalone esc or a 2in1 esc and receiver? 🤔
 
that hobbywing is the only one iv been able to find (and apparently AE used them as well).
Yes, under the reedy brand. Ae/reedy takes them but puts their own branding on it and wipe it all so there's no settings to program or tune.
Great job reedy on cloning them. 🤦

standalone.
2n1's need to be set on fire and thrown back at there manufactures.
Yes agreed. But only on esc/receivers. 2in1 esc and motors I can understand as I run one myself and it makes it alot more simple and less complex on the wiring. 2in1 esc/receiver just locks you in with that RTR included transmitter, if you wanna use your own transmitter you gotta get a standalone esc too which sucks (only exception is the radiomaster MT12, only if the protocol of that 2in1 is known.)

I would go with something off Amazon if you want cheap. Might not be super reliable, but should be cheap.
