MC400CR Futaba Compact Electronic Speed Controller for RC Cars  [MC400CR]

Small ESC design with proportional braking plus reverse control

The Futaba MC400CR is an electronic speed controller tailored to RC car use where a proportional brake and the ability to select reverse are required. Its control scheme creates smooth deceleration and, when enabled, a controlled switch into reverse; a configuration option lets you disable reverse for pure competition setups.

Built-in protection helps shield the unit from short circuits and excessive temperature during normal hobby use. The included heat sink improves thermal transfer during longer run sessions, and the compact, lightweight package provides flexible mounting choices on many car chassis.

Preinstalled motor and battery connectors make the initial installation quicker, and the digital setup system streamlines adjustments to throttle and brake response. High-frequency MOSFET elements reduce internal resistance, contributing to consistent output and efficient run time without changing the RC-scale behaviour of the controller.

When you need a compact ESC with adjustable braking feel and a selectable reverse, the MC400CR balances protective features, a simple digital setup, and a small mounting profile suitable for many sport car layouts.
