Get Smooth Low-Speed Control with the Tamiya 42153

The Tamiya 42153 Brushless ESC marks Tamiya's first brushless release aimed squarely at rock crawlers. It supports both brushed and brushless motors, giving builders flexibility when upgrading vintage or modern rigs.

Neutral Brake Tuning for Controlled Descents

Featuring ten Hill-Brake settings, the 42153 lets you adjust how the vehicle holds at neutral throttle. That control is essential for precise line choice on slippery rocks and steep approaches.

Plug-and-Play Connections

The ESC ships with Tamiya battery connectors and JST motor plugs pre-attached for hassle-free setup. A hall sensor cable is included to connect directly to supported brushless motors for better low-end response.

Pairing Suggestions for Trail Runs

When mated with the High Performance Transpeed Brushless Motor (Super Stock 21.5T), item 42154, the ESC provides a balanced mix of torque and smooth power delivery for demanding trail work.

Specifications

  • Motor Compatibility: Compatible with brushed and brushless motors
  • Functions: Forward, brake and reverse modes supported
  • Adjustable Hill-Brake Settings: 10 selectable settings
  • Included Components: ESC unit, Tamiya battery connector, JST motor connectors and hall sensor lead
  • Chassis Compatibility: Intended for CR-01 chassis

For off-road fans wanting finer control on technical terrain, the Tamiya 42153 delivers predictable braking and motor compatibility that suit serious crawler builds.

What motors give the best low-speed feel?

Motors with hall sensors and lower turn counts typically pair well for controlled low-speed crawling when used with this ESC.

Are there recommended settings for beginners?

Start with a mid-range Hill-Brake level to prevent rollback, then fine-tune up or down based on how the car holds on slopes.

Does the ESC require firmware updates?

The ESC is ready to use out of the box; check with Tamiya support for any optional firmware information but no routine updates are needed for typical crawling use.

How durable is the wiring for trail use?

The pre-wired connectors are designed for hobby use; protect exposed leads from abrasion and secure them on the chassis to avoid snags.

Will this ESC change my vehicle's handling?

Yes, the Hill-Brake and smoother low-speed control can alter how the vehicle behaves on climbs and descents, usually improving precision and stability.
