    I'm currently building a 1/72 scale V99 German Torpedo Destroyer (SMS B-11 & B112) and am looking for an Electronic Speed Controller for two Bueller 6-12 volt brushed motors.

    ANY SUGGESTIONS!!

    Yep, the Wasp is what you want. It spins the turret on my combat tank without a hitch and runs my Mogador around the pond just fine.

    Do these HK brushed controllers have 100% forward and reverse? Another issue I can think of with these auto-calibrate ESC's is that they blow your end point adjustments after a power on.

    Yes it's 100% fwd/rev. I've not had issues with my endpoints. Still under $11. :)
