Soft start ESC?

[Mod Man]

Hey Guys,

I fried my Mamba Max ESC today (total meltdown) in my TXT based scratch built truck. The truck weighs 16 and 1/2 pounds and is running a Neu 1512 on 4S, a touch too much for the ESC.

Anyway, I fell in love with the punch control feature. With the horsepower I have, the truck was snap wheelying way too easily. Plus the TXT gears in the axles are really not good for harsh abuse like that. But, the punch control made the innitial hit alot softer and made the long power wheelies much more controllable.

So, my question is, what other ESC is out there with a soft start or punch control like that but will handle higher loads? Oh, and it has to be a reversing ESC.

I do have a 160 amp Com Pro ESC that has reverse and even a throttle delay, but is a programming NIGHTMARE! Are there any other ESCs that will fit the bill?
