Burned up ESC

[Joeybrushedsenton]

I have a brushed senton mega. My boys decided to play tug a war with the cars while I was at work. Now the ESC is burned up. Stays on when you plug up the battery. I was planning on going brushless a little while down the road. But his may have pushed my hand. What is a good brushless system for a starter or an upgraded brushed ESC? Any thoughts and advice very welcomed. Thanks again

There are lots of threads on brushless conversions for Mega vehicles. How far you want to take it is up to your wallet…

A factory takeoff would be fairly inexpensive and easy to install: https://jennysrc.com/collections/ch...ektrum-firma-ara4302v3?variant=39794249007158

Maybe like to a 2 or 3s lipo. Nothing fancy right now. Just got the car was wanting to get use to it before I upgraded. I guess I don't really need to go brushless. Just maybe a better ESC for what I have or is the one I have stock from arrma good enough?

You could probably get the stock 3S setup from Jennysrc and do it cheaply that way. Just don’t let your kids do anymore tug of wars with the RCs.

Didn't realize that there is so much to upgrade to go brushless. May stick with what I have for now. Save up

if u wanted to do it more cheaply you could get like a hw 1080 brushed esc for 40$ and wait to go BL

sorry HW=Hobbywing (esc brand)
BL = Brushless

When i upgraded my sons 1/10 car to brushless 2 years ago, i went for a cheap goolrc motor and 120amp esc.
Still running strong today.
