I bought this with my first crawler kit. I'm blown away with the price I paid. 40 bucks. To put it in perspective the last speed control I bought was a Novak roost. (When esc's were fairly new technology lol.) I think I paid a 100 ish then late 80's early 90. Nitro ruled the day back then because of cost and run time. My kids are young and might not ever get to experience pipe burns and tears running from their eyes while tuning a hot nitro setup.
@@MrsRabbit8 If you raise the PWM frequency it will make the truck accelerate smoother but also it will run completely silent. No electronic noise. Just the bearings and gears turning. It is spectacular. I have a Mamba Monster X, it's a really good ESC but the thing just screams with electrical noise all the time. It's super annoying when crawling cause you are always standing over or near the truck. Just watch the temperature. Raising the PWM can cause the ESC to run hotter. But as we are just crawling, I don't think it's really an issue. And yes, punch is how abrupt the thing takes off.
@@nemocheerio awesome thank you! I will order one now, I have a question maybe you may know. Ive got .5mod pinion and spur. They are louder. Which I kind of like, it's got a growl... BUT does that mean I need a better mesh? Are bigger teeth louder? Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
@@MrsRabbit8 Different gears make different sounds. Different cars make different sounds. I use the piece of paper method to set my mesh if I have an adjustable motor mount. Take a strip of paper and put it between the spur and the pinion. Push your gears together and tighten the motor down. Turn the gears to roll the strip of paper out and you should have a pretty good mesh. Move the spur back and forth by hand at this point and you can learn exactly how much play you should be looking for between the gears. Eventually you will learn to set the mesh by hand, looking for that little bit of play between the teeth.
Thank you, much appreciated! Okay cool, I used the piece of paper, works great, same nice growl. Ive got an scx24 with the (somewhat silly) 370 with 3D motor mount. I actually like it, but it's a heavy motor, sitting a bit high, so I have done some CG work. It is better than stock, but if it had a lower CG motor, then those CG mods would have made it even better instead of simply compensating... but I like the power, and also like the ridiculousness of such a big motor. Not a comp rig. Great for mudding though! Very fun overall. Now to build something else! Though it's hard to imagine any build ever being done done.
Great video. Thanks for pointing out how this can be more useful in an ESC than a brushless motor. I sometimes think all these groups I belong to on Facebook for RC Crawlers are just pre-madonna boys trying to show off their money or else they're bored because they all put these brushless motors in there Crawlers and spend a couple hundred bucks and I really don't think they crawl any better than the stock Motors. The HW 1080 is fantastic I've got it in one of my axles and it works great. Definitely one of the top upgrades along with steering servos and wheels Tire combos way more important I think for crawling than a brushless motor.
This is very good esc, the reason for Brushless over Brushed tho is build quality, longevity. Im sure their's a good share of PriMadonnas out there, but a brushed is no match when comparing to a quality brushless set up. brushless has far better lifespan, great in water, no brushes to deal with or replace.. This is the best of the best tho for low money brushed set up without question. Im curious what brushed motor people are matching it with for best performance speed/torque..
I have been a do or die, "brushless is best, period" rc dude since they came out. Even in crawling. Especially in crawling. Until a week ago. (Long story short, 30 years ago I raced brushed 2wd stock truck. I know more about brushed than most ppl.) NOW, I'm gonna do brushed ONLY for crawling! I remember the old adage, "what goes around comes around", again! LOL! Love your videos!
It's an awesome ESC ,,, I use it in my first Veterans build an I was very surprised how smooth and control ,,, and for that price uffff can't beat that
Holmes talks smack about this esc because you cannot tune the throttle curve. I think someone's jelly a 40 dollar esc can win comps! Don't get me wrong the high dollar escs are amazing in every way but this is 40 dollars with performance and tuning options many times above its pay grade.
@@slantedperspective hi there! Can you explain that a little? I was tryinng to modify the curve but couldnt find it. I was thinking something around 25% power in the first 50% throttle? Is that possible with the 1080?
The 1080 is a FANTASTIC! brushed controller. I was very, very happy with every aspect of it including it's thermals (the thing just gets warm, not hot, even on sustained full-throttle on 12T Titan) before I upgraded to brushless. I had my 1080 in an Arrma Granite 4x4; definitely not a crawler! The programming card is a great inclusion since it really seems like so many car/truck ESCs these days are really just re-branded Hobbywing ESCs, so the card works on a bunch of non-HobbyWing ESCs.
Finally found an answer I was looking. So im thinking on throwing this ESC on my Arrma senton mega (brushed) since the stock ESC im having issues with thermal protection and way to high LVC. In theory this HW 1080 should work ?
I have used Hobbywing ESCs for many years now, whether that's on my boats, planes or cars. They have the best bang for the buck, with easy to program setups. That program card can be used for most of them, just make sure to use the program list in the ESC manual and not the label on the card. No wonder so many manufacturers are using Hobbywing ESCs and labeling them as their own, such as Losi with the Dynamite label.
Got it in my TRX4 Sport kit build, its so smooth at low speed and has a great configurable drag brake. I thought about getting the AXE system but this is a much lower price that gives great performance & compatable with a wider range of brushed motors... Recommended not just as an RTR upgrade but as standalone ESC to install in any Crawler kit build :-)
So if I use this esc on a racing brushed Orion motor (27t I think) I’m able to dumb down this brushed racing motor for crawling? Currently building my scx10.2 and I think since I found this brand new Orion motor from my tool box I hope it’s compatible w this 1080
I have one in my SCX10 2. I love the simplicity of use and advanced control through the programming card. Definitely a "must have" if you run a brushed system.
This is why I love hobbywing they're not out to screw their customers. I have one of these in my mst cmx and I just got another for my custom scx10 build I'm doing. Great little esc amd the price is outstanding.
I have had this in my TRX4 well over a year now, still amazed at how it runs along with the setting tweaked to how I want it. I need it on my Twin Hammers for crawl/trail/bash and my Gen7 for crawling. Paired with Holmes HobbiesTrailmasters and you’ve one hell of a brushed setup.
Man my hobby store guy suggested this, and honestly I thought it looked generic and Ebay like. This is the best esc for a crawler I've had yet. I'm gonna go back for a 2nd, got this one for my sons crawler and it's so awesome I'm getting another lol
Question, say for example I had a dual esc setup, wire both my ESCs through a y harness and I lift the red wire out of one of them. If i chose to switch off the master esc (the one that still has it's red wire) what will happen to the slave? (the esc that doesn't have it's red wire) Will the slave work perfectly on it's own? Master powers two motors and the slave powers one, both escs Are operating from the same battery
Hey, do you know if you can use the EC3 to XT60 adapter, and then use a Spektrum IC3 connector battery on it? I want smart features of charging and auto discharge of the smart batteries, but not sure how that works with that many connections.
Grabbed 2 last week, amazing Lil boogers for the price. I run the Holmes BRXL also, personally I lean towards it. If one didn't lift the body they would never know the difference lol.
Hi i bought this hobbywing quicrun wp 1080 esc but there is no beeping sound coming out from the esc on turning it ON. Doea this mean the esc is damaged ?
Really great quality unit. I got one for my TRX4 Sport that my son and I are building. I do wish the wire to the receiver was an inch or two longer. I ended up getting it to reach though. My Scorpion re-release may be getting switched to a brushed motor as the brushless is too fast. I may get the lower end Hobby Wing ESC for that one
I’m putting 2 of these in a pretty cramped comp crawler, can I just cut off the on/off switch and solder the wires to always on and still be able to program it?
I live out in the middle of nowhere. The closest hobby store is an hour away so I picked up one of these after I got off work today got all the way home open the package and it did not come with a program card did Hobby wing stop supplying these Within the past four years? Is this something I have to purchase separate
Thank you for this review i was debating if i was gonna spend "holmes hobby" money because i absolutely love the esc i have from them or try hobbywing again (first time was the xr10 combo). Looks like i got my answer great video.
Francis, I've been SOLD on this ESC almost since it came out! The only thing is, even though it's an exceptional Value... I still can't afford one! 😭 And I need two. However, I would certainly recommend this ESC to anyone! I completely agree, it's really the best Brushed ESC!! 👍👍 Carmine ✈🚂🚙
I want to install this esc with a Holmes Hobbies Trailmaaster Sport motor on my trx4 sport crawler, so the question is how can I manage to reverse the rotation of the motor?
Is this ESC okay to use on 3s with the Holmes Hobbies 13 turn 540 Crawlmaster sport? It says in the specs that it should be 16 turn or hire for 3s. John Holmes said in one of his videos that the 13 turn is equivalent to the Trailmaster 27 turn so I'm wondering if it would be okay for the ESC?
Hi there, great video. Can I please check whether I can use this Hobbywing 1080 ESC on the 7.4V setting with the TRX4 chassis kit noting that the little servos on the chassis kit can only run at 6V max? I'm tossing up whether to upgrade to this Hobbywing ESC, or just go with the stock ESC with the 2262 BEC to power the 2255 servo. My thinking is that I can never get to use the 7.4V setting to give the 2255 servo more power due to the limitations of the little servos. Would appreciate your thoughts?
Just in case someone reads this after all these years: I have an issue with mine (but could be the remote), on the wire going to the remote I read 2.43V between white and red, 3.3V between white and black. That's close to 6V but not quite the same. Any insight on this?
I put one in my TRX4 sport and the drag brake will not hold on an incline at all. I've messed with the settings and I've tried 3 different motors. It still won't won't hold.
Very good review, thank you! I am getting ready to add this to a jlu kit, im new to crawling and would like to find a sample set up or suggested program for my asx 10.3?
I’m buying my vs4-10 pro clear anodised today, I have to get it back ordered from AMain Hobbies, just wanted to say thanks for helping me out Francis, thinking of running the hobby wing 1080 3s but not sure what servo to run, any suggestions, brand and kilograms please. on a
Nice ESC 👍 I have a couple. But one of them , the low voltage cut off doesn't seem to work, I've just about ruined 2 lipo batteries... Any thoughts why this could be?
Yea so I put the cheap servo you suggested the 1080 hobbywing but I wanted speed for fun I don't compete so I put the holms hobby 8 turn in it. Turned up the punch settings and stuff so much fun it still goes so slow it will load up a lil but it still creeps. I also put the overdrive gear and brass outer portal cover. Faster than my wraith spawn. It climbs dirt nasty loose hills really well.
Mine will not program in right order, does neutral, but not forward, but will do reverse then forward. Its like its backwards, resulting in way more speed in reverse. Is esc wired wrong from factory maybe, it will not program in correct order.
I got a pair but two esc don't start at same time so front will drag for a moment at super low throttle. Also has about 10% deadspace before it starts up. I can't seem to get super slow crawl speed either. I calibrated the ESC so not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any tips?
This looks like a great esc. I’ve seen a couple other guys review/use it in the last few weeks, and it looks like a great esc. When I get the TRX4 Sport Kit this is going in it right away. I think I’ll do this esc, the Traxxas Titan motor, and maybe a Savox servo. I haven’t quite decided on the servo, I want something reliable, strong, but not overly expensive. ($75 or less preferably)
EcoPower WP110T Cored Waterproof High Torque Metal Gear Digital Servo - 280 oz-in of torque @ 6.0V - Waterproof up to 1 meter - Digital circuitry - Metal gears - & great for 1/10 to 1/8 Scale rc rigs 2wd/4x4 - Plus 1 year manufacturer warranty. only ($39.97)
or if you want more power step up to its Bigger Brother for (69.99) The EcoPower WP120T Coreless Waterproof "High Torque" Metal Gear Digital Servo is a great choice if you are looking for an affordable, waterproof, high voltage upgrade. The WP120T makes 337 oz-in of torque and .11 transit speed at 6.0V. But when you crank the voltage up to 7.4V, the WP120T delivers 400 oz-in and .09 speed, making it an excellent option for scale crawlers, 1/10-1/8 monster trucks, 1/10 2WD and 4WD buggies, as well as 1/8 scale buggies and trucks. (my LHS put me onto these servos) There really tough for an unbeatable price in my opinion...
Think i killed my stock esc on my redcat gen 8 v2 it trens on but dusnt power eny thing it happened after cleaning my car dint even use water just simp green and wd40 Want to get this to replace it
Hello Great video very clear and helpful. One question, it is possible to modify the accelerstion curve in this setup hobbywing 1080 and a HH 27t? I was thinking something arround 25% power in the first 50% throttle??
Sir I have a question.I have a Power hd 25kg servo and I ordered a hobbywing 1080 with programming card and a castle bec 10a with a default 5.1V. and i want to get the full potential of my servo 25kg with 7v. Do i need to buy the Castle link to program bec into 7v or I can just use the Hobbywing programming card and set the esc into 7v servo support without buying the castle link?
Have it on both of my Sports. You will love the adjustability of the 1080. One just spent 3-5 minutes underwater in the Truckee River and has still worked flawlessly after having done that oops.
Silly question. Bought this on your recommend for my trx Bronco. It seems stronger and definitely more control. I have 7.5v 25kg steering servo but was wondering if bumping BEC to the 7+ volts would fry the two receiver and the mini servos? If this is the case, I was thinking of running a 5v or 6v BEC to receiver, linked to signal wire from esc then sending the esc servo lead, plus and minus to supply the 7+ volts to servo and just servo signal wire to receiver?
Though a bit more than 40 bucks here in Europe I ordered one for my, still to purchase, trx4 sport builders kit. Any advise on what engine to have the trx4 running on, price quality wise? Must be brushed right? Thanks.
Question I recently pick up an old rtr RC10 T3 I built it an it came with another LRP esc, it’s brushed I’m new to electric’s normally deal with nitro but anyways, long story short it was slow tried different gearing different brushed motor said screw it went brushless I got a Hobbywing EZRUN combo with the max10 ecs & 5400 kv brushless motor I wired everything up set my end points on my esc an everything seemed find I’m still running nimh batteries I’m going to get lipos tomorrow, but the thing is once I set the car on the ground with 25% throttle it drives fine but anything after that 25% my steering cuts in an out an so does my throttle but when it’s off the ground with no load on the tires everything is ok an I disabled LVC also cause the manual said since I’m running nimh batteries do that an that might solve the problem but it didn’t, would you have a clue to what the problem might be ?
That is probably the best value and performance upgrade for any RTR that I've seen.
That thing is unbelievable for $40. It’s definitely going in my Trx4 sport build. Great honest review. Keep it up.
I bought this with my first crawler kit. I'm blown away with the price I paid. 40 bucks. To put it in perspective the last speed control I bought was a Novak roost. (When esc's were fairly new technology lol.) I think I paid a 100 ish then late 80's early 90. Nitro ruled the day back then because of cost and run time. My kids are young and might not ever get to experience pipe burns and tears running from their eyes while tuning a hot nitro setup.
Excellent but beware that even when turned off it drains the battery slowly... So always unplug your lipo
N m hbuhuh
Jayden Navia what
13 (5) Mind blown!!!! This setting sold me and makes the whole thing worth it. I have several 1080's.
What is the PWM Frequency?
And the "start mode punch".. does that ease the throttle on?
@@MrsRabbit8 If you raise the PWM frequency it will make the truck accelerate smoother but also it will run completely silent. No electronic noise. Just the bearings and gears turning. It is spectacular. I have a Mamba Monster X, it's a really good ESC but the thing just screams with electrical noise all the time. It's super annoying when crawling cause you are always standing over or near the truck. Just watch the temperature. Raising the PWM can cause the ESC to run hotter. But as we are just crawling, I don't think it's really an issue. And yes, punch is how abrupt the thing takes off.

Hobbywing is pushing there esc lately and I see it is outdoing most esc on the marketplace 1 price ....looks to be a good esc for brushed motors....
So you cant use brushless motor with the 1080. why not? it should be universal
Great video on the details of what makes this a true affordable upgrade.

Have there been any upgrades on that 1080 as this was made 2 yrs ago🤔🤔 i would assume 🤔🤔lol
Great video, thanks for showing a excellent option for crawling 🇨🇷👍🏻
It's too good not to share. Especially since so many RTR ESCs are so inferior.
The reverse on my TRX-4 is too sensitive and my high end radio doesn't adjust for it. So I think that ESC will be my best option.
this will work well.
So you don’t need a bec with this speed control, currently running traxxas xl5 with traxxas bec in my trx4
did yours come with the bullet connectors for the motor because mine didnt.

I like the hobby wing. Have my eye on the tekin brushed esc for my element build. Its a lot of money though.
We had a Tekin on our Vanquish. Good but primitive in comparison in terms of programming.

Hello Francis, will this esc work with the capra’s rtr stock spectrum motor?

What would be the product equivalent but for a brushless motor…?
Would this work for the Ridgerock as it is a dual MOA?
I want to install this esc with a Holmes Hobbies Trailmaaster Sport motor on my trx4 sport crawler, so the question is how can I manage to reverse the rotation of the motor?
for brushed motors, just switch the positive and negative wires. For brushless, it's done through programming.

Is this ESC okay to use on 3s with the Holmes Hobbies 13 turn 540 Crawlmaster sport? It says in the specs that it should be 16 turn or hire for 3s. John Holmes said in one of his videos that the 13 turn is equivalent to the Trailmaster 27 turn so I'm wondering if it would be okay for the ESC?
Hi there, great video. Can I please check whether I can use this Hobbywing 1080 ESC on the 7.4V setting with the TRX4 chassis kit noting that the little servos on the chassis kit can only run at 6V max? I'm tossing up whether to upgrade to this Hobbywing ESC, or just go with the stock ESC with the 2262 BEC to power the 2255 servo. My thinking is that I can never get to use the 7.4V setting to give the 2255 servo more power due to the limitations of the little servos. Would appreciate your thoughts?
Just in case someone reads this after all these years: I have an issue with mine (but could be the remote), on the wire going to the remote I read 2.43V between white and red, 3.3V between white and black. That's close to 6V but not quite the same. Any insight on this?
What’s the best motor to go with this? Link please
I put one in my TRX4 sport and the drag brake will not hold on an incline at all. I've messed with the settings and I've tried 3 different motors. It still won't won't hold.
On the Traxxas trx-4 will changing to 7.4 volts Bec power the small servos as well with 7.4 ? Don't want to burn those
Do you recommend hardwiring to a trailmaster or using a plug/connectors?
Got this installed on my rr10 bomber and its great on trailing,crawling and cheap:)
Very good review, thank you! I am getting ready to add this to a jlu kit, im new to crawling and would like to find a sample set up or suggested program for my asx 10.3?
I’m buying my vs4-10 pro clear anodised today, I have to get it back ordered from AMain Hobbies, just wanted to say thanks for helping me out Francis, thinking of running the hobby wing 1080 3s but not sure what servo to run, any suggestions, brand and kilograms please. on a
On running mode what application what would u use 2nd option ??
What is the best motor to pair with that? I have wplc24 crawler
Good demonstration. Thank you.👍
Nice ESC 👍 I have a couple.
But one of them , the low voltage cut off doesn't seem to work, I've just about ruined 2 lipo batteries...
Any thoughts why this could be?
look at the top CommentThis may be the reason.
Use this in my D90 fantastic bit of kit
Just installed on my trx4 sport the wire barely reached but it did.
Yeah, trx3 needs long wires
Yea so I put the cheap servo you suggested the 1080 hobbywing but I wanted speed for fun I don't compete so I put the holms hobby 8 turn in it. Turned up the punch settings and stuff so much fun it still goes so slow it will load up a lil but it still creeps. I also put the overdrive gear and brass outer portal cover. Faster than my wraith spawn. It climbs dirt nasty loose hills really well.
Mine will not program in right order, does neutral, but not forward, but will do reverse then forward. Its like its backwards, resulting in way more speed in reverse. Is esc wired wrong from factory maybe, it will not program in correct order.
Put one in my sport!! Love it
Hello nice Vid ,
What is the difference between frequency 1 to 16K other than the sound?
Thx
Is the default setting good for crawler? If not please tell us the best settings for crawlers.
I’m buying this baby can’t wait to run it on my ecx barrage with my redcat Everest 10 trans
I got a pair but two esc don't start at same time so front will drag for a moment at super low throttle. Also has about 10% deadspace before it starts up. I can't seem to get super slow crawl speed either. I calibrated the ESC so not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any tips?
Lol im running it on my bully 2 probably not good for the ESC to run two motors both 35T but it works 😅
This looks like a great esc. I’ve seen a couple other guys review/use it in the last few weeks, and it looks like a great esc. When I get the TRX4 Sport Kit this is going in it right away. I think I’ll do this esc, the Traxxas Titan motor, and maybe a Savox servo. I haven’t quite decided on the servo, I want something reliable, strong, but not overly expensive. ($75 or less preferably)
EcoPower WP110T Cored Waterproof High Torque Metal Gear Digital Servo - 280 oz-in of torque @ 6.0V - Waterproof up to 1 meter - Digital circuitry - Metal gears - & great for 1/10 to 1/8 Scale rc rigs 2wd/4x4 - Plus 1 year manufacturer warranty. only ($39.97)
or if you want more power step up to its Bigger Brother for (69.99) The EcoPower WP120T Coreless Waterproof "High Torque" Metal Gear Digital Servo is a great choice if you are looking for an affordable, waterproof, high voltage upgrade. The WP120T makes 337 oz-in of torque and .11 transit speed at 6.0V. But when you crank the voltage up to 7.4V, the WP120T delivers 400 oz-in and .09 speed, making it an excellent option for scale crawlers, 1/10-1/8 monster trucks, 1/10 2WD and 4WD buggies, as well as 1/8 scale buggies and trucks.
(my LHS put me onto these servos) There really tough for an unbeatable price in my opinion...
Another great review thanks for posting I've been thinking about getting one of these now I am
You can trust us on this one.
Could anybody explain what the FREEWHEELING function does?
Think i killed my stock esc on my redcat gen 8 v2 it trens on but dusnt power eny thing it happened after cleaning my car dint even use water just simp green and wd40
Want to get this to replace it
hello, I followed your advice .. can I set the bec to 7.4V on my RC4WD C2X CLASS 2 COMPETITION TRUCK (all stock)?
What does adjusting the pwm do?
Hello
Great video very clear and helpful. One question, it is possible to modify the accelerstion curve in this setup hobbywing 1080 and a HH 27t? I was thinking something arround 25% power in the first 50% throttle??
No. You cam change punch
Sir I have a question.I have a Power hd 25kg servo and I ordered a hobbywing 1080 with programming card and a castle bec 10a with a default 5.1V. and i want to get the full potential of my servo 25kg with 7v. Do i need to buy the Castle link to program bec into 7v or I can just use the Hobbywing programming card and set the esc into 7v servo support without buying the castle link?
When an xl5 hv burns out does it still turn on but just fast blink green like in the case of "no signal"
Is the programme card specific to the 1080? Does the standard programme card work on it or can this program card be used on other hobbywing esc's?
Much improved, thanks
Can i use this on my RGT 86100?
Thanks for the upload, I got a trx4sport kit and need an esc. I was looking at this one but I know nothing about it
Have it on both of my Sports. You will love the adjustability of the 1080. One just spent 3-5 minutes underwater in the Truckee River and has still worked flawlessly after having done that oops.
Bill Deras lol awesome, can it handle a 20kg servo without a bec?
@@dangavin I assume so. I am using EcoPower 120T servos without BECs.
Bill Deras ok cool, if you run a higher voltage bec f ok the esc does it effect the receiver or just the servos
Silly question. Bought this on your recommend for my trx Bronco. It seems stronger and definitely more control.
I have 7.5v 25kg steering servo but was wondering if bumping BEC to the 7+ volts would fry the two receiver and the mini servos?
If this is the case, I was thinking of running a 5v or 6v BEC to receiver, linked to signal wire from esc then sending the esc servo lead, plus and minus to supply the 7+ volts to servo and just servo signal wire to receiver?
Same question here. Pretty sure the mini servos can only handle 6v
Though a bit more than 40 bucks here in Europe I ordered one for my, still to purchase, trx4 sport builders kit. Any advise on what engine to have the trx4 running on, price quality wise? Must be brushed right? Thanks.
My axial scx 10 AE- 1 is super jumpy and jittery at low speeds Would this fix that problem?
Question I recently pick up an old rtr RC10 T3 I built it an it came with another LRP esc, it’s brushed I’m new to electric’s normally deal with nitro but anyways, long story short it was slow tried different gearing different brushed motor said screw it went brushless I got a Hobbywing EZRUN combo with the max10 ecs & 5400 kv brushless motor I wired everything up set my end points on my esc an everything seemed find I’m still running nimh batteries I’m going to get lipos tomorrow, but the thing is once I set the car on the ground with 25% throttle it drives fine but anything after that 25% my steering cuts in an out an so does my throttle but when it’s off the ground with no load on the tires everything is ok an I disabled LVC also cause the manual said since I’m running nimh batteries do that an that might solve the problem but it didn’t, would you have a clue to what the problem might be ?
Is it better than the Fusion Combo ?
