I found the answer to my problem with this cheap ESC: Reedy 600z. There was one listed on eBay with a Reedy 17.5T motor for $70. I saw it earlier in the day but didn’t purchase it right then. I needed to do some research because I didn’t know much about ESCs.
The 600z is categorized as a good starter ESC for those getting into the racing hobby, which is definitely me. I’m making an assumption that it’s a starter because of a lack of programming features and maybe the quality of parts. That’s a complete guess, but I’m excited to get it in my possession.
I’m close to getting Hardyway Racing to the RC Pitstop by the end of February now. The only thing missing from the car is a servo. I’ve spent all day looking for a used Reedy with no luck.
During the writing of this post, I decided to get a new RT3507A servo so I could start wrapping up the build process. Since I have one of these that I purchased for the RC10B74, I’m going to put it in this car instead until the new one arrives.
