Turns - for an explanation click here.  The following speed controllers are usually all in stock in good quantities.

Quick Guide Standard Motors:  If you have the standard SILVER can motor, as included in most kits, we suggest the Eco27 (forward/reverse 27t limit) or TEU101BK (forward/break 23t lightly tuned motor limit) speed controls.  If the car is an off-roader experience suggests that the Eco27 may cut out when negotiating wet ground or longer grass and that an Eco20 or TEU101BK is better in these circumstances.  If you've put the Tamiya Sport Tune motor in your car, this is a 23 turn motor so you can't use it with an Eco27, you need an Eco20 or a TEU101BK.   Note the Eco ESCs have a reverse delay - i.e. the car must stop before you can reverse, the TEU101BK you can slam into reverse by moving the stick into the reverse (brake) segment, back to neutral and then back to reverse.  Which is better is personal preference.

Quick Guide Upgraded Motors: It is best to allow some degree of extra capacity on an ESC to avoid it cutting out as your motor wears and/or in other high load situations.  Therefore, if you have a 15x2 motor, you would find using an 11 or 12 turn ESC may be more long lived and less likely to cut out than using a 15 turn ESC which would be right on the limit.  If you're buying a motor and an ESC, choose your motor first and your ESC second for this reason.

Warranty Upgrade:  All Mtroniks ESCs purchased from March 2005 are covered by a 2 year return-to-maker warranty - so keep your receipt and the packaging the ESC came in!  The Tamiya, Vega and Acoms ESCs are covered by a 3 month warranty but this does not cover failures due to water ingress or overloading.

Electronic Speed Controllers - Regular Range

Mtroniks Viper2 Series: All Viper2 car ESCs feature motor short protection, powerful brakes, 3.3Khz drive frequency for fine low speed control, adjustable braking and (where applicable) adjustable reverse with reverse disable option.  Can operate on 4.8v to 9.6v input on batteries up to 4500mAh.  All Viper2 ESCs feature a failsafe - if your car goes out of range, it will stop dead.

ESCs are sorted by price - please ensure that you choose an ESC compatible with the number of turns on your motor.

Hobbyport LM ESC FORWARD, BRAKE & REVERSE, Variable* Turn Motor Limit
Basic ESC as used in the Bonzer, Cross Tiger and Max Extreme buggies.  Works with Acoms/Futaba and similar radios.  Non programmable - just plug in and set up. 

* Previous batches we were advised suited all motors down to 19 turns.  We have ran this batch on motors down to 13 turns.  We would suggest it'd be wise to use a 15 turn or higher motor though.

HOBBYPORT ESC SETUP
IT IS ONLY NECESSARY TO RUN THROUGH THIS SETUP IF THE ESC DOESN'T AUTO SET TO YOUR TRANSMITTER.
Power up and immediately hold down button for 2 seconds then release.  The lights should then flash. Pull the trigger or push your stick to the full speed forwards position.  Whilst holding this position, press the button once quickly. Then pull the trigger or push your stick to the full reverse position.  Whilst holding this position, press the button again.  If the ESC seems to refuse to accept the setup, switch the "SERVO REVERSE" switch on your transmitter to the Reverse position and try again.  The timing of the first push of the button is key to the setup - leave it too long after switching on and the ESC will not accept it, don't hold it long enough and it won't accept it either.

Mtroniks Viper2 Eco27 FORWARD, BRAKE & REVERSE, 27 Turn Motor Limit
Electronic Speedo suitable for use with all standard 2 channel radios, a full power forwards, reduced power reverse and brake electronic speed controller with electronic auto set up!   Suits all motors down to 27 turns!   Ideal replacement for a Mechanical Speedo if you plan to stick with the standard silver motor.
£18.00
Tamiya 45029L FORWARD, BRAKE & REVERSE, For Tamiya Silver & Black Motors
Tamiya FET Speed Controller TEU-101BK. The TEU-101BK is an easy to use ESC that boasts all the functions of the high performance TEU-302BK with power output equivalent to the CPR-01.  Notional 23x1 Turn Motor Limit, realistically only suitable for the Sport Tune / GT Tune motors.  With size and shape virtually the same as a mechanical speedo, the TEU-101BK can be fitted in all single motor Tamiya RC cars from the past 15 to 20 years!  Ideal for the standard motor and the Tamiya sport tuned motors.  UK Code 90494.
Very easy to set up and use.  The TEU101BK benefits from a quick-action full power reverse (pull the stick back twice to enter reverse, regardless of whether the car has stopped going forward) and a "transmitter off" alarm.  Reverse may be disabled for racing purposes.  This item is UK version, supplied bagged rather than boxed.
RRP £27.50.

Tamiya 45037 / TEU103BK TAMIYA'S NEW TWIN MOTOR ESC FOR MONSTER TRUCKS
FORWARD, BRAKE & REVERSE, Twin Sport Tune Motor Limit
This new ESC has been specifically designed for use with Tamiya's twin electric motor R/C vehicles to control up to two Sport-Tuned Motors, but is about the same size as the TEU-101BK for compact efficiency. The ESC allows you to set a button for cancelling reverse, and together with an LED display allows easy setting of neutral, acceleration, and reverse/braking high points. Its "smart" feature adjusts the neutral and high points according to transmitter inputs, and it is possible to use this ESC with most transmitters on the market today. It also features built-in Battery Elimination Circuitry (BEC), so it can be used conveniently even with receivers that do not have this feature.
Note: Motor limit is two Tamiya Sport Tune, GT Tune or Dirt Tune - NOT 2x23 turn motors from other makers - Tamiya's motors draw less current.
£34.99
Mtroniks Viper2 SSR FORWARD & REVERSE, 25 Amp Limit
With it's intelligently designed Symmetrical Speed Response, the software on board enables equal acceleration and power ramp in both directions.  This makes the ESC best suited to Robot and Marine applications, although also suitable for use in cars where motor draws less than 25 amps.  6.0v to 12.0v input voltage. 
£39.00

Acoms AT8

FORWARD, BRAKE & REVERSE
Acoms FET Electronic Speedo. Suits most motors, most windings. Approx 3cm by 3.5cm - suits almost all Tamiya own-brand motors except 11t.  15T Limit.  Brake and Immediate Reverse functions built in.  Very positive review in recent RC magazines - praised for the brake method, which doesn't automatically follow onto reverse unlike all other controllers.  Also ideal for HEAVY CURRENT DRAW - e.g. use in Tamiya Truck series.  

£39.99

Tamiya 45028 FORWARD, BRAKE & REVERSE, High Draw 23 Turn Motor Limit
Tamiya FET Speed Controller TEU-302BK. A compact forward/reverse running electronic speed controller (ESC) featuring a high frequency wave drive system. Three types of current flow adjuster, adjustment of maximum forward and reverse throttle trigger settings, and reverse cancellation can be controlled via transmitter and ESC operation. Compatible with down to 23 turn stock motors.
Much smaller and higher spec than the TEU101BK - this is very similar in use to many racing ESCs, and the features are easy to choose and adjust in use.
Now much better value and at a lower price.

K.80921 KYOSHO KA6 ESC TWIN MOTOR TRUCK FORWARD, BRAKE & REVERSE
Specification: ABS Function, Twin 19 Turn 550 Size Motors (Max, can use smaller / higher turn motors).  Battery Limit 2 x 8.4v DC.
Yes, that's right it has two motor out connections so is ideal for twin motor trucks, and two standard Tamiya-type input connections.  So you connect two 7.2v and the motors run at 14.4v or two 8.4v and they get 16.8v.  Obviously for the modeller this ESC will give, if you can work out how to hang the second battery, a massive turn of speed in a typical two motor installation even with the regular motors.  NB Motor wear rates will be higher with the higher voltage.
£72.00
Mtroniks Viper2 Dash FORWARD & BRAKE, No Motor Limit
Electronic Speedo suitable for use with all standard 2 channel radios, a full power forwards and brake electronic speed controller with electronic auto set up!   This is a pro ESC and requires the connecting wires to be soldered on to the terminals.
