i have the 1/16 m4 sherman tank from 1974. its bone stock, with the manual speed control set up, with the dual 380 motors.

when running the tank , it likes to twitch a lot and the speed control set up is not proportional, its basically a on/ switch for forward and reverse.

can i use a electronic speed controller in it with the 2 380 mubachi motors?

the only esc i have that has reverse is a traxxas XL-1 , can i use that speed control with them 2 380 motors?

the easiest way to set it up is to use 2 esc's, that are forward and reverse. one for each channel, left and right.
