There's a lot more to pwm than just noise. Pwm, or pulse width modulation, is the speed that the fets switch at. 1kh=1000 cycles per second. The higher the pwm frequency setting, the faster the fets are switching. This results in smoother throttle modulation and as you have shown, lower RF noise. The trade-off is that the esc is working at a higher duty cycle and will tend to run warmer. Not a huge deal on high turn motors, but it could throw the esc into thermal protection with a lower turn motor, 3s, a heavy rig, etc.
Im really impressed with the 1080, I’ve used an xl5 hv for a year on my trx4 kit and now I’ve put a 1080 in my new sport kit. The amount of adjustments it has compared to the xl5 hv is unparalleled. It is by far the better of the two.
What adjustments does the xl5hv have? Besides sport, race, training, trail and crawl. I have one, just got it, I don't do much except drive it around, so I don't need much. But it would be nice to know what all it could do
All good comments. I'm learning. A little late to the crawling scene. I never thought going slow was fun or climbing rocks or dirt hills. I am having so much fun with my used axial wraith.
Great video man. I've been using 1080 for a while on my SCX10. You should really try to lower item 10 - Drag Brake Rate to Level 3 and see how it slowly decelarates on the descents. Much needed if you have front heavy truck on the steep downhill. Prevents tipping over due to abruptly stopping on the spot.
I only use max brake settings for videos, like you I like my trucks to roll a bit and all I do is steer it when going down things. It seems many scalers want full stop on any incline so that’s why I max things like this out. The Axe is also nice and it will roll exactly the speed you want with the way it works.
Damn that’s quite!! Nice.. you’re videos are the best one utube cuz u get right to the point and u don’t waste time wit useless info!! That y I watch all ur videos!👍
I have that ESC on both my TRX4s with HH torque master 27T 550s. Unbeatable setup. I'm pretty sure the 1080 can be programmed to 7.4v lead out, but it would be really nice to see a video on hooking up the Hobbywing UBEC for TRX4s when you dont want to swap out all your other electronics with a high volt steering servo. I also added Surpass Hobbys fans to my ESC and motor.
I actually have a few bec’s laying around I can do that with. I’d have to use my red/white trx bronco as it still has all the stock servos in it. I’ll look it over and if I can make an easy to follow video on it I will.
Good show as always. Well, I guess I gotta go out and trade the old Quick run 1060 as a go to, in for an upgrade QR 1080 next build. Besides, I run HobbyWing in everything from Skywalker esc's in my drones, to SeaKing in my boat's, Ez/Quick run in my racers, and even an Axe FOC in my crawler. But buying FOC combos at 200$ a pop, for every crawler build is just pricey. So, an upgrade to the 10BL80, SOUNDS like a fantastic idea. Thanks brother, God knows my ears have become sensitive to the high pitch motor squeal, especially after running those remarkable and outstanding FOC Axe combos. Anyhow, where else can I get a real, informative, unbiased, review, and tech tip?. Than on Exo Caged Rc. 👍 Outstanding.
Thank you, I try my best to simply show what these products are and give an opinion. Yeah I have a feeling most all my crawlers will get the AXE system, also stay tuned I have something in the works that should get one of their new 3300kv Axe systems
just wondering how to wire up your light module, and steering servo using this ESC? Is there something else you will have to buy to make this work? Really enjoy your channel!
Hello mate, I’m treating myself to the trx4 sport kit for Christmas. I was also going to get the hobbywing 1080 esc when reading the manual I though it said the motor turn limit was 16t but you have fitted a 12t, is it still running ok?
Great video as always Joe! Does the PWM Frequency affect how anything runs? I always left mine on stock setting for that due to not knowing exactly what it was.
That’s what this video shows, esc’s are either on or off on the motor output, the hum is the frequency of the pwm you are hearing, by turning it up it gets out of our hearing range and it sounds quieter to us.
Thanks for the great video! So the default setting on the Hobbywing is 8K for PWM frequency. Essentially the higher the frequency, the smoother the power delivery, but the higher heat/stress on the ESC. You also get the secondary benefit of a no noise if you choose the next step up at 16K. Did you check the temps between 8K vs 16K? Though it's a Hobbywing, I'm sure it run well regardless.
Hey man I just got the hobbywing 1080 with a Tekin 45t and I'm just wondering if you could possibly put up a video of your ESC settings . I mainly do your type of style crawling and I know your video will be legit
Yes, I am doing that. If you are running a traxxas bec for your traxxas servo you'll have to remove it. This would have saved me 30 minutes on the install. Truck is dead silent running inside. No Brainerd to buy and install. I'm new at this hobby. Notice how 90 percent of trx4s on TH-cam have this esc
Hi, quick question. If I were to go the budget brushless route, is the Hobbywing Quicrun 10BL120 120a esc good for crawling duties? I'm looking for a nice budget sensored system as I am trying to stay away from brushed because it's going into a trail scale rig.... need the longer run times. I'm also looking to pair it with a 17.5t g2 sensored motor from hobbywing. My major concern is going down a rock, having it hold with drag brake, then if I give it a little throttle input, I don't want the rig to roll super quick off the rock so wondering if that Hobbywing Quicrun 120a esc can do the job. Thanks!
Hobbywing fusion 2 I 1 1800 kv super great combo under 2 bills in Canada and it has some of best brakes out there simple install comes with card to set it up just right
In basic terms it’s how fast the esc pulses are sent to the motor also known as frequency. Lower frequencies we can hear, higher frequencies we cannot.
Well at 1k pwm esc runs cool, motor is loud. 16k pwm esc runs hotter motor is quiet. Depends on what you’re doing as to what’s needed. Slow geared low crawling gets 16k. 3S brushed motor in a Wraith would probably overheat so a lower pwm would be better.
How do you like the trailmaster motor? Never run anything from hh I just use rc4wd 35 and 45 turn motors because they're super cheap to replace. Would a budget hh motor make much of a difference?
I really like the Holmes motors. At $15-$20 they are all I’ll ever use. He also makes some high end brushed motors that are insanely good. No kidding. Are they better than RC4wd? Not sure but I have yet to kill one so I’ll stay with what works for me.

It seemed like maybe it was a tiny bit smoother on startup but that could have just been me imagining it. So I wouldn't say its very noticeable at all.

This esc is good but look at a servo that runs straight from the battery with a JST, those are what I'm moving to on everything and the 46kg is only $50 shipped off ebay. rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FJX-CLS-12V7346-46KG-Metal-Steering-Digital-12V-HV-Coreless-Servo-for-RC-Car-ND%2F163570405375%3Fepid%3D26030002628%26hash%3Ditem26158e4fff%3Ag%3APKcAAOSw-1Zcd7qk&campid=5338273090&toolid=20008
@@ExocagedRC 46kg is a load of power, I'd love to see a test of it (edit, found your test, did you get a chance to try it on 3s?) I run a 25kg servo and castle bec in my trx-4 and that made a huge difference over stock.
The 1080 Bec is surprisingly robust. I think the 3a rating is a constant rating, not a peak. I've ran a Savox 1230sg(6.0v) and a Spektrum A6300(7.4v) with a spektrum radio(notorious for being power sensitive) and never suffered a brown out. The only reason I went to an external Bec was because I wanted to supply my A6300 with 8.4v.
The pitch changed to a point that it got so high, the human ear couldn't pick it up anymore. Bet it would drive a dog nuts though, lol. Great comparison though.
I don't get why people run bl motors/mod brushed set ups in a trail truck/crawler?! I use 27-55 turn brushed motors that are what $12, then I use this 1080 in all my trail trucks & my cr01 too. I run nimh for convenience & have plenty of power & run time. Silly & a waste of money, being an old school racer who rebuilt motors & ran nicd's I love this. Pleanty of linear power & torque from brushed motors, & they last since there hardly turning, which is my point.
I'm actually getting back into the brushed stuff, but one big reason for brushless is way way more torque, more efficient, less maintenance, more wheel speed and in many ways its just a better power system as it makes more power easier. With my heavy vehicles they are brushless but my lighter ones are running brushed perfectly. Check out Holmes Hobbies for the absolute best in motors.
@@ExocagedRC Yes I agree lipo & bl are more efficient, but I can't see spending the money for them or Holmes motors for playing around. I use bl set ups but only in my race cars & trucks. If I couldn't get great torque & power from a $12 gool 55T, 45T, 35T, & 27T motor (with gear reduction) I might think about bl. Holmes hobbies is a waste a money. Back in the day it paid to have hand wound motors for racing, machine wound do just fine. Enjoy this cool hobby while we have decent weather, happy trails! Winter comes & it's all about indoor racing!
I have a trx 4 high trail edition. Its so awesome. Ive had to change both servos.. steering is a metal gear survo. And main survo is a hobbywing 1080.. i want to take it off crawler mode.. i dont have a programming card.. is there a way that i could change it to the double click to reverse mode? I liked how i had to be the brake.. not the hobbywing brake.
Why is the pwm tunable? Will it be a different "best" silent setting for different motors? Not always the highest pwm frequency? I also used xl 5 on my crawlers. Work fine bit this noise irritates me. Will go find me a hobby wing 1080

In basic terms it’s how fast the esc pulses are sent to the motor also known as frequency. Lower frequencies we can hear, higher frequencies we cannot.
Exocaged RC and how does it effects the control/ drivability of the rc? Why not just select the highest frequency available?
Well at 1k pwm esc runs cool, motor is loud. 16k pwm esc runs hotter motor is quiet. Depends on what you’re doing as to what’s needed. Slow geared low crawling gets 16k. 3S brushed motor in a Wraith would probably overheat so a lower pwm would be better.

I think I'm going to switch to this system. I'm sick of brown outs. On my gen 7 pro. This motor esc and a bec and a stronger cervo, eventually.
This esc is good but look at a servo that runs straight from the battery with a JST, those are what I'm moving to on everything and the 46kg is only $50 shipped off ebay. rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FJX-CLS-12V7346-46KG-Metal-Steering-Digital-12V-HV-Coreless-Servo-for-RC-Car-ND%2F163570405375%3Fepid%3D26030002628%26hash%3Ditem26158e4fff%3Ag%3APKcAAOSw-1Zcd7qk&campid=5338273090&toolid=20008
@@ExocagedRC 46kg is a load of power, I'd love to see a test of it (edit, found your test, did you get a chance to try it on 3s?) I run a 25kg servo and castle bec in my trx-4 and that made a huge difference over stock.
Thanks for the advice, it's much appreciated!
I have the new 12v one I need to put on the tester. I do know it’s got plenty enough power and it’s quiet.
The 1080 Bec is surprisingly robust. I think the 3a rating is a constant rating, not a peak. I've ran a Savox 1230sg(6.0v) and a Spektrum A6300(7.4v) with a spektrum radio(notorious for being power sensitive) and never suffered a brown out. The only reason I went to an external Bec was because I wanted to supply my A6300 with 8.4v.
would these settings apply to capra also
Yep
Meanwhile all the dogs in the neighborhood are pissed off.
LoL maybe.
what is that high pitch noise
The the PWM noise from the esc, this noise is a frequency, the frequency is audible and that’s what the high pitch noise is.
The pitch changed to a point that it got so high, the human ear couldn't pick it up anymore. Bet it would drive a dog nuts though, lol. Great comparison though.
I don't get why people run bl motors/mod brushed set ups in a trail truck/crawler?! I use 27-55 turn brushed motors that are what $12, then I use this 1080 in all my trail trucks & my cr01 too. I run nimh for convenience & have plenty of power & run time. Silly & a waste of money, being an old school racer who rebuilt motors & ran nicd's I love this. Pleanty of linear power & torque from brushed motors, & they last since there hardly turning, which is my point.
I'm actually getting back into the brushed stuff, but one big reason for brushless is way way more torque, more efficient, less maintenance, more wheel speed and in many ways its just a better power system as it makes more power easier. With my heavy vehicles they are brushless but my lighter ones are running brushed perfectly. Check out Holmes Hobbies for the absolute best in motors.
@@ExocagedRC Yes I agree lipo & bl are more efficient, but I can't see spending the money for them or Holmes motors for playing around. I use bl set ups but only in my race cars & trucks. If I couldn't get great torque & power from a $12 gool 55T, 45T, 35T, & 27T motor (with gear reduction) I might think about bl. Holmes hobbies is a waste a money. Back in the day it paid to have hand wound motors for racing, machine wound do just fine. Enjoy this cool hobby while we have decent weather, happy trails! Winter comes & it's all about indoor racing!
Craig Stern Holmes budget stuff is only $15-$20 and they run really well.

I hate esc sound but there's not much I can do
So maybe only my dog can hear it past 8k?
Idk y but I laugh every time u say take a look. Idk y lmao. Your videos are awesome tho dude
Do you know what is the freewheeling capability.
AkosiMRswabe yeah that’s a bit odd. Turn that on and it will control descents extremely well.
That sounds much better. Everyone knows Traxxas sucks!
I have a trx 4 high trail edition. Its so awesome. Ive had to change both servos.. steering is a metal gear survo. And main survo is a hobbywing 1080.. i want to take it off crawler mode.. i dont have a programming card.. is there a way that i could change it to the double click to reverse mode? I liked how i had to be the brake.. not the hobbywing brake.
1:18 WHAT
Get a microphone
Why is the pwm tunable? Will it be a different "best" silent setting for different motors? Not always the highest pwm frequency? I also used xl 5 on my crawlers. Work fine bit this noise irritates me. Will go find me a hobby wing 1080
