Responsive Handling with the Futaba MC401CR ESC

The Futaba MC401CR Electronic Speed Controller provides linear forward, reverse and brake control for motors of 10 turns and higher, giving drivers consistent throttle and braking feel for both casual runs and competitive events.

Optimised Power Components

SMD MOSFETs are used in the MC401CR to cut internal resistance and improve efficiency, leading to lower heat output during prolonged use. The Futaba CIU-2 compatible data logging records current and voltage so you can optimise gearing and battery selection.

Custom Settings and Safety Limits

Safety is covered with thermal and low voltage protection, while tuneable parameters include PWM frequency from 100Hz to 10kHz. A configurable current limiter from 50A to 300A helps control peak draw for safer operation of motor and ESC.

Adjustable Brake Response

With brake mix adjustable from 0% to 100% and neutral brake tuning, drivers can set brake feel to match driving style and surface grip, resulting in smoother corner entry and consistent stopping power.

The Futaba MC401CR gives a compact, reliable package with programmable limits and data logging, suitable for modelers wanting precise control and component protection.

Setting the current limiter reduces peak draw, which can protect your motor and battery at the cost of top end power if set too low. Use it to prevent overheating or tripping fuses.
Yes, with a case size of about 25.7 x 26.2 x 12.9mm and a light weight of 11.2g, the MC401CR fits most 1/10 scale installations where space is limited.
Yes, using the Futaba CIU-2 you can log running voltage as well as current to help diagnose voltage sag and battery performance during runs.
Yes, the MC401CR supports linear reverse operation in addition to forward and brake modes, useful for more realistic vehicle control or specific racing classes.
