We need a good ESC for dual motor monsters!

Man what's up with not having a desent ESC for Clods, and Jugs, and USA-1s? Big trucks. I mean the Super Chicken would be perfect if it didn't have a motor limit, and could handle 14-cells.

This is what we need.

A reversable ESC
handle 14-cells
6 volt BEC output
no motor limit
reverse lockout
and a optional water proof case!

Man where did PDI Zeta go! It really sucks they went out of business.

Looks like you might have to get 2 esc's. Unless astroflight or someone like that makes an ESC that can handle that kinda stuff. 2 LRP F-1 pro reverses may be good. But lots of cash.

EVX

Will the EVX run on 8-cells if you solder the two positive, and two negatives together?

Well LRP is the way to go. I know they are not offered here but they have many specialised speed controls already. Maybe they want another.

LRP Quantum Pro is not the way to go. I have one in my buggy with a 10x2 Reedy in it, and it doesn't seem to have 6v BEC (servo is slow) and it goes into thermal protect a lot. I just ordered a brushless setup this morning. There's lots of room to grow with BL, you can get an esc for those that will handle 2 BL motors and at least 16 cells, but you have to find a truck that can handle that without self destructing!

Tekin is back in business, I'm sure one fo there escs (420-G2) can come very close to meeting your needs.

What about the Novak SuperDuty XR? It can handle 6-14 cells and motors down to 12 turns when running two motors. Has reverse lockout and 6V BEC. The only thing the original poster asked for that wasn't met was the 12T limit but if you are running a single motor then it has no motor limit.
