Tamiya 45033 TamTech-Gear ESC TEU-102BK - Compact 1/18 Electronic Speed Controller Kit  [45033]

Precision control for 1/18 TamTech-Gear with the Tamiya 45033 ESC

For drivers who value tight handling in small-scale racing, the Tamiya 45033 Electronic Speed Controller delivers reliable, tunable throttle response tailored to the TamTech-Gear 1/18 family. This compact ESC balances adjustability and protection so your short-course runs stay smooth and predictable.

Fine-tune throttle travel and direction

The ESC includes an easy-to-use set button for trimming neutral, forward, and reverse throttle points, letting you dial in the exact feel you want. If reverse is not allowed at an event, the unit can convert the reverse function into a braking mode to keep your setup compliant while preserving drivability.

Broad compatibility for flexible setups

Built to work with both Tamiya transmitters and compatible third-party radios, the 45033 ESC expands your choices when assembling a control system. It is matched to TamTech-Gear platforms and is designed to run with the type 380 motor common to this scale.

Protection systems to limit damage during races

This ESC includes heat and overcurrent protection to help prevent motor or controller failure under heavy use. An LED status indicator provides quick system feedback and a non-signal alarm warns of depleted transmitter batteries or missing crystals so you can address issues before they affect your run.

The Tamiya 45033 ESC is a practical upgrade for hobbyists wanting precise throttle control and basic protection in a small package. Its tuning options and wide compatibility make it suitable for both casual track days and competitive club racing.
