Refined Crawler Performance with the Tamiya 42153 ESC

Designed for the slow, technical side of RC, the Tamiya 42153 Brushless ESC brings Tamiya's first crawler-focused brushless control to your build. It supports both brushed and brushless motor types to suit a wide range of setups.

Ten-Level Hill-Brake for Stable Holding

The ESC offers ten Hill-Brake options to adjust how firmly the vehicle holds when the throttle is at neutral. This gives better stability on steep or uneven surfaces and helps with line placement on technical routes.

Easy Wiring and Motor Hookup

Pre-wired with Tamiya battery connectors and JST motor leads, the unit simplifies installation. A hall sensor cable is provided to attach to compatible brushless motors and enhance smooth low-speed operation.

Suggested Motor Combination

Combine the 42153 with the High Performance Transpeed Brushless Motor (Super Stock 21.5T), item 42154, for a setup that balances torque, control and efficiency suited to demanding crawling sections.

Specifications

The Tamiya 42153 Brushless ESC is a practical upgrade for crawler enthusiasts wanting finer low-speed management and reliable connector options for quick installation.

Is programming the Hill-Brake difficult?

Programming follows the instructions in the manual and is straightforward with the ESC's setup procedure; no specialised tools are required.

Will the ESC work with older CR-01 builds?

Yes. The ESC is designed to be compatible with CR-01 chassis layouts and should integrate into many older builds with the supplied connectors.

Can I switch between brushed and brushless motors easily?

The ESC supports both motor types, but ensure your wiring and any sensor leads are connected correctly when swapping motor types to maintain safe operation.

What maintenance does the ESC need after trail days?

After runs, check connectors for corrosion, secure any loose wires, and inspect the housing for signs of damage. Keep the hall sensor cable and plugs clean for consistent performance.
