Holmes Hobbies CrawlMaster Mini V3 Rock Crawler Brushless ESC
This esc has a very low amp internal bec. The issue with that is it will not run peripherals such as steering servo, lights etc. Therefore, an external bec is needed which is extra money and extra wiring; I wish this was stated in the product description. In my opinion, this is very disappointing. The Rhinorc esc is the same technology but it has a 10 amp internal bec with four position adjustable voltage output levels. This Holmes Hobbies esc should only cost around $40.00 and not $84.99; but their name is on it. The Rhinorc esc is far superior and it cost around $89.99 and nothing else is needed to get your crawler running properly; even with high powered steering servos. Thanks Amain Hobbies for making this order experience right.

Holmes Hobbies CrawlMaster Mini V3 Rock Crawler Brushless ESC
This is my new favorite ESC, especially for outrunner motors like the Holmes Hobbies Revolver motors. I just plugged it in, adjusted for throttle/motor direction and was running perfectly. I replaced a broken Sidewinder 4 with it and love how much space it frees up and the lack of a noisy fan.

Its small enough that it would be great for a replacement for even the TRX4M or similar smaller crawlers. I'm using it in a TRX4 1/10th scale crawler and driving it off small 2S batteries.

It comes with a few nice extra features including the USB C Programmer dongle and that super useful JST connector running a second power line for accessories as needed.

These Holmes hobbies esc’s are great. I love mine in my truck so I had to buy two more for a custom build and my girlfriends 10 Pro.
Would definitely recommend!!
