Robert Bowden Monday, Aug 28 2023 (about 2 years ago) Maclan DRK 160 RS Edition No Prep Drag Race Brushless ESC Love this unit…. once you learn it its hard to want anything but maclan. 3 customers found this review helpful. Brian Minter Verified Owner Wednesday, Jun 7 2023 (about 2 years ago) Maclan DRK 160 RS Edition No Prep Drag Race Brushless ESC Not impressed. 5 runs on a very low power setting and the ESC took a dump. After trying to reach out to macland there was no response for over a week. I finally got them to respond and now they have my ESC and it’s going to cost me another $100 to fix it. 3 customers found this review helpful.
