Futaba MC401CR Programmable ESC with Reverse  [MC401CR]

Get Precise Control with the Futaba MC401CR ESC

Built for hobbyists who demand accuracy and dependability, the Futaba MC401CR Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) supports motors of 10 turns and above and delivers linear forward, reverse and braking control. Its adaptable setup makes it suitable for club racers and weekend drivers alike.

Efficient Power Handling

The MC401CR uses SMD MOSFETs to reduce internal resistance and improve power flow, which lowers heat build up during long runs. Data logging via the Futaba CIU-2 interface lets you record running current and voltage so you can refine gear ratios and battery choice for better runtime.

Built-In Protection and Tunable Settings

Safety features include thermal and low voltage protection, and the unit offers configurable parameters such as PWM frequency from 100Hz to 10kHz. The adjustable current limiter, settable between 50A and 300A, helps prevent excessive draw and protects both motor and ESC during demanding use.

Brake and Neutral Fine-Tuning

The braking system is adjustable from 0% to 100% brake mix, allowing you to set braking force for smooth entries and controlled stops. Neutral brake adjustments further help match the MC401CR's response to individual driving style and track conditions.

For RC builders who want a controllable and protected ESC, the Futaba MC401CR combines efficient electronics with programmable limits to help you extract consistent performance without undue risk to components.
