Reedy competition brushless ESC – First look

During last week’s IFMAR Electric Buggy World Championships Team Associated showed us their upcoming Reedy competition brushless speed controller, internally called the black box. Designed for on-road and off-road use the yet nameless speedo is being tested mostly by Team Associated’s own Rick Hohwart and features an integrated on/off switch and an all aluminium case along sturdy direct solder tabs. The controller is designed with both stock and modified racers in mind and its software will have a secret feature called speed sensitive drake brake which they didn’t go into more detail about. The 1S to 2S compatible controller will include a programmer and is set for a release in December or January.
