New from Maclan Racing, the DRK 160 Drag Race ESC is specifically designed for the extremely competitive and popular no-prep drag racing segment. The most exciting part of this ESC is its all-new 3-stage launch power control software. It is operated by a 32-Bit super fast CPU with an all new algorithm specifically designed for this class. The software was inspired by the full scale drag race cars with extremely complicated processing for the smoothest launch traction control, yet most powerful acceleration. Thanks to the powerful 32-Bit CPU the ESC is able to remap the throttle curve in 3 stages precisely, all you need to do for the win is to focus on the starting signal for the full throttle launch.
