| Bomber Motor and ESC Upgrade
Looking at getting a brushless motor and a new ESC combo. Not looking to spend more than $150 and was looking at buying the PCtech HOBBYWING EZRUN G2 3652SL 3300KV Brushless Motor & Max10 60A ESC --- $130 Any other suggestions? Also, is there any need to upgrade your radio when switching over? |

You should save money until you can afford a mamba X ESC with a castle or Holmes Hobbies puller pro motor. If I'm not mistaken, the ezrun combo isn't even sensored so you won't be able to crawl. It will cog at low speed. Until then, I suggest a cheapo hobbywing 1080 with a Holmes Hobbies Trailmaster Sport 550 21T motor on a 3s LiPo. It crawls great, has good torque and it's fast enough for fun. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk | |

Thanks for the heads up. Would you say that Hobbywing setup is any faster than the stock 35T that comes in the Bomber?

The 550 21T is about the speed of a 540 27T with more torque. If you go 3s LiPo it's gonna be quite a bit faster. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk | |

Don't forget a sidewinder 4. Much cheaper and extremely capable Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk |

Can you run a brushless motor with the hobbywing 1080 ESC? If I choose to switch to brushless down the road.

The programming box that comes with it will supposedly also program some of HobbyWings brushless ESCs, at least according to the little booklet - but the ESC itself is probably the best damned brushed ESC for the money in all of R/C... most people on this forum have several! I have 4, and my crawlin' buddy has 3 or 4 as well. If you upgrade the Bomber to brushless later, you will always have that little HW 1080 waiting to be dropped into whatever you buy next! |

Does anyone suggest buying the Xiangtat Hobbywing Quicrun WP 1080 over the Hobbywing QUICRUN WP 1080?

I’m running a few 1080’s in my SCX rigs, a XERUN AXE 550 2700kv System in my Bomber & an XR8 SCT Pro ESC+XERUN 3600kv motor in another Bomber/2.2 Trophy build. Between all my trucks, it’s about a 50/50 split of Hobbywing & Tekin systems. Bang for buck, the HW stuff is on par with the big names. | |

Can you run your bomber lights off the Hobbywing 1080? If so where do you plug the stock mini light wire connectors?
