Which hobbywing ESC?
What 1/10th scale Hobbywing ESCs are you guys using? I need them for 2 losi and 1 rc10 buggy. I plan on using 2s lipos with it..but I dont plan on racing. I just run for fun on local tracks. Hobbyking has 25, 30, 60 amp....and now theres even Turnigy ESCs that are getting good reviews. I just want to know which ones some of you have?

Re: Which hobbywing ESC?
Been using xerun V2 120A on my tekin 8.5T, no problem so far. Either Xerun or Ezrun its ok, also have the ezrun 60A with a HW 8.5t for my kids 10t. Np also. For bashing i think ezrun would be enough.

Re: Which hobbywing ESC?
I'll say It's probably not the "best" choice, but the little 35a ezrun ones work perfectly fine. I probably have at least a dozen of the 35's and 60's, and have had no trouble whatsoever out of any of them. in a 1/10 buggy the 35a/10t combo is hard to beat on 2s for playing around. We've even used the 35's in slashes with no problems. I have had a couple of the turnigy ones, (well leopard same esc) and not really been as happy with them as the ezruns. Don't have the setup options, not as smooth on takeoff, i'd personally take the 35a ezruns over the turnigy. Def not too impressed by the "hobbyking brushless car" ones. I have 4, 1 coggs, 1 for some reason resets itself all the time, the other 2 work fine.

Re: Which hobbywing ESC?
ezrun 35A 4300kv combo is killer value for money, I've actually even won club races with them in my B4 in front of much much much more expensive setups.
A more "serious" product is their xerun line, 60A is fine in 2wd. Don't bother with the xtreme stock which has same performance but lower footprint unless you're challenged for space. I have this in my B4.1 + 9.5
the 120A V2 or V2.1 is simply one of the top3 speedos on the market today.
Awesome products, all!

Re: Which hobbywing ESC?
Do you guys know of any other websites that carry hobbywing ESCs? I usually keep an eye on hobbypartz, but they never seem to have stuff in stock.

Re: Which hobbywing ESC?
My grown sons and I have gotten back into RC after about a ten year absence from the hobby. We used to run brushed motors and nicad batteries. Times have changed and we had to get all new electronics. We started with Hobby King stuff, Turnigy by brand name. We first bought little 18a esc's for our 1/18th offroad Vendetta ST's. These were run on our private 35' x 30' offroad track. It has 4' lanes, whoops, jumps, stutters and drop-offs, great fun. The Turnigy stuff never failed us, we did however use 2435 motors due to the Vendetta weight. We ran hours and hours without any failures. The best time was 13.48 sec on our 155' track(Trackmate Timing setup).
Next we decided to try 1/10th offroad at the local indoor track. We bought B4's, T4's and B44's. These all used Turnigy 35A and 60A esc's and 3900 and 4300 kva motors. We still have yet to have one fail. You cannot beat these setups as far as bang for the buck.
We have all done well with this equipment. We used them when we first got out new 22's and still ran with the fastest guys and even made it into the A's. For entry to mid level racing, these afford fast and cheap racing without software help. The newest series 2 Easyrun and Xerun, same stuff basically have turbo software available with sensored motors and are much smoother from bottom up.
In other words, you cannot go wrong with this equipment.

Philip

Re: Which hobbywing ESC?
Really?? I didnt realize we were being so formal. I appriciate all of the info I get from you guys, and I have expressed that many times before. I think your post was a bit uncalled for.Lonestar wrote:"you're welcome"Momo5 wrote:Do you guys know of any other websites that carry hobbywing ESCs?
