New from R1 Motor lab is the LCG Digital-3 2S wireless programmable brushless speed controller. Developed using the most advanced MICROCHIP processor and a robust proprietary software, the LCG Digital-3 delivers the most technologically advanced features to date.
Development of the LCG Digital-3 was focused on ultra smooth power delivery needed for modified racing as well as supreme power efficiency for our class leading line of Stock Motors. The controller offers the most advanced throttle and brake features to suit a wide range of driving styles.
The unit features an A.C.L.C. (Advanced Component Level Cooling) system. This design allows individual encapsulated low resistance Mosfets (inner & outer components) to transfer heat directly to the upper heatsink.
The system also comes equipped with an all new blinky mode (zero timing) for spec racing, using an advanced commutation algorithm called COOL POWER to keep the motor cool and deliver powerful, yet ultra smooth acceleration.
The LCG Digital-3 boasts a redesigned case minimizing overall weight and lowering the center of gravity (LCG). We have minimized the weight from the upper case while improving heat dissipation, achieved by improving air velocity exits from all sides of the ESC case.
All adjustable settings are easily programmed using the R1 WIRELESS ADAPTOR coupled with an iOS or Android app designed with an intuitive, easy to use interface. The new R1 Digital 3 app also features a super fast Live Telemetry and a built in Datalogger for after race analysis.
Built in Amp draw meter for setting motor timing or for after race analysis. Using our new over the air update, firmware updates are now easily downloaded through our iOS or Android apps.

Disclaimer for all RC drag racers:
Based on the data that we collected throughout 2020, we've been able to evaluate the use of our Digital 3 ESC for drag racing purposes. Just like most if not all ESC’s in the market, the Digital 3 ESC hardware was not designed for drag racing. This was originally designed for off-road and on-road road course racing.
The Digital 3 has been used to win multiple road course ROAR US national championship titles at multiple events. We are confident about the excellent reliability of this product when used for its intended purpose.
Due to the popularity of the Digital-3 ESC at the highest level of RC drag racing in the country, we decided to investigate RC drag racing closer. We found that the impact of running the Digital-3 ESC or any 1/10 scale ESC for drag racing purposes can cause unprecedented damage that we have not experienced in road course racing in the past.
Normally when we inspect a typical damaged ESC, we would find a single component failure or a single circuit block failure. Damaged ESC’s used for drag racing are found to have multiple component failure and/or multiple circuit block failure. This makes the ESC not cost effective to repair and in most cases not repairable at all even if we tried.
Due to this finding, we would like to inform all RC drag racers that we can no longer accept requests to repair on all Digital-3 ESC’s used for drag racing purposes. In addition, R1Wurks will not cover any damage related to the use of the Digital-3 ESC in any form of RC drag racing.
If the Digital 3 is used for drag racing, this will automatically void the limited warranty for this product. Any exterior visible hardware damage that requires repair like wires, switches, button, case, fan port and sensor port will be handled on a case to case basis under our discretion. Any internal/non visible damage or malfunction will be evaluated and determined by R1wurks staff.
If the damage is consistent with over load or misuse to that ESC, R1wurks reserves the right to flag the said ESC as warranty void. We will still offer a courtesy discounted replacement for all ESC’s that were purchased at full retail price for one time for each ESC. We require the damaged ESC to be sent to us and received by us prior to availing the discounted replacement program. ESC’s that were purchased through the discounted replacement program are not eligible for another discounted replacement for the second time.
