Tamiya 42153 Volac Crawler ESC with Dual Star Features  [42153]

Tackle Technical Trails with the Tamiya 42153 Brushless ESC

If you spend time on steep, rocky lines, the Tamiya 42153 Brushless ESC brings crawler-focused control to your rig. This is Tamiya's first brushless ESC made with the slow, torque-rich demands of rock crawling in mind, and it supports both brushed and brushless motor setups.

Fine Tuning with Ten Hill-Brake Levels

The 42153 stands out thanks to its ten-step Hill-Brake adjustment. These settings let you dial in how the vehicle holds when the throttle is neutral, which makes lining up tricky climbs and managing steep drops much easier for both casual trail sessions and competitive runs.

Wiring and Fitment Details

Designed to drop into Tamiya CR-01 chassis builds, the ESC arrives pre-wired with Tamiya battery connectors and JST motor plugs for quicker installs. A hall sensor lead is included to hook up directly to compatible brushless motors for smoother throttle response.

Recommended Pairing for Trail Use

Pairing this ESC with Tamiya's High Performance Transpeed Brushless Motor (Super Stock 21.5T), item 42154, yields a balanced combo that emphasises low-end torque and predictable control on technical courses.

The Tamiya 42153 Brushless ESC gives crawler pilots a more tunable, stable driving experience on technical terrain. Its thoughtful connections and hill-brake control make it a practical upgrade for serious trail builds.
