Futaba MC401CR Precision ESC with Reverse Function  [MC401CR]

Precision Drive Control from the Futaba MC401CR ESC

The Futaba MC401CR Electronic Speed Controller is aimed at hobbyists seeking controllable, linear forward, reverse and braking response for motors of 10 turns or more. It provides the predictable behavior needed for both practice sessions and competition.

Low Loss Power Stage

The MC401CR employs SMD MOSFETs to reduce resistance in the power path, improving efficiency and keeping operating temperatures down. Using the Futaba CIU-2 to access the onboard data logging lets you review current and voltage trends for smarter setup choices.

Protection Features and Flexible Tuning

Protection includes heat cutoff and low voltage safeguards, and the ESC offers adjustable settings like PWM frequency from 100Hz to 10kHz. The current limiter can be set from 50A up to 300A to manage peak draw and safeguard the system during heavy loads.

Braking Control and Neutral Adjustments

Brake mix is fully adjustable between 0% and 100%, enabling you to dial in braking balance for cornering. Neutral brake tuning helps you set the idle braking behavior to suit different track surfaces and driving preferences.

The Futaba MC401CR is a compact, tunable ESC that combines efficient components with practical safeguards and logging, making it a solid choice for those wanting predictable lap to lap behavior.
