Carisma ARC-1 Brushed, Waterproof ESC

By: Tim Gluth

With their latest on-road, ready-to-run Lotus Exige V6 model, Carisma has introduced a new electronic speed control (ESC) into their lineup. The ARC-1 is a multi-mode, waterproof, brushed speed controller that's designed to bring as much performance to the table as possible.

Carisma's ARC-1 features four driving modes; forward/reverse with smart brake, forward-only with standard brake, beginner mode, and crawler mode. These multiple modes allow anyone, regardless of experience, to get the most out of their R/C machines.

In addition to the four-mode setting, the ARC-1 is compatible with both NiMh and LiPo batteries, is waterproof/water resistant, and features end-point calibration.
