So the rated 3A in-built BEC is more than capable of pushing a 25kg servo no probs then. No performance difference running it straight to ESC over a dedicated BEC?

Installed my 1080 in my new tf2 lwb build tonight and out of the box I had very little power forward but 100% in reverse. Quickly glancing through settings, I couldn't find a fix. I reversed my motor wires as a quick fix. Has anyone else ran into this?

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I'm guessing you didn't read the instructions and calibrate it properly. Do that. Then come back to this thread a happy person. :mrgreen:

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I replied to your PM. I'm not sure if you got it because Tapatalk said my messages were full.

Before calibrating this or any HobbyWing ESC you might have to set your transmitter's throttle channel to "Reverse". The manual states that's for Futaba radios only, but that hasn't always been true in my experience. You can try that.

If that still doesn't work you might have a motor with timing. Which motor are you running?

My third 1080 arrived yesterday for my 10.2
That's one onthe 10, 10.2 and if i can get access inside by cutting off the case on my third 1080 to repair the blown capacitor that will go on my AX10

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

That is a subjective questions. You really need to know the spec for the servo.

If you want to figure it out here is what you do.
The BEC output is:
7.4v@3a max, so that is 22.2 Watts
6.0v@3a max, so that is 18.0 Watts

Take your servo input voltage, then find out the draw in amps. Multiple them to get the total Watts. The required Watts should not exceed the available Watts. Additionally you want the voltage and amperage of the servo to fall below the max amperage available and be close to the voltage provided.

Now as far as I can tell most servo companies do not include a amperage spec. I think this is a large part of the problem with electronics in rc's.

What you can do is hook up a volt meter to the output, measure the output voltage without a load, the measure it with a load and see if there is a difference. If the amperage available is enough for the servo the voltage will not change. If the amperage available is less then required you will see a voltage spike as it tries to make up for the difference by increasing the voltage.

Normally the BEC output is regulated so it starves the servo, which then causes brownouts.

I have one of these on the way are you guys running a bec or not?

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Nope.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I use it with a powerhd 20kg servo in my ax10 without bec and issues.
the 1080 internal bec is rated 3A if your servo doesn't need more it's fine.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I dont recall if I ever responded to your message or not. I now I have two trail finders, both running an HW1080. The second 1080, I have still not been able to get it to go through the proper calibration, following the steps to a T.

I am running an axial 35T motor on this particular ESC. I have reversed the channel as specified also.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Then it might be defective. Have you tried it with a different motor and receiver?

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I calibrated to my new radio this past weekend and had to go to reverse first then throttle unlike the manual says throttle then reverse. It worked fine

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I'm using mostly 3S lipo occasionally 2S, CCBEC with Hitec HS-7950TH, haven't tried it without a BEC.

What servo are you running?

Good indication that it can handle a decent servo: I run a 7955TG @6V and some lights. Even when the servo is in a bind, the lights don't flicker. Which means that voltage is stable, which means the BEC is most likely just fine with the load!

Didn't try upping the voltage yet, though.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Thanks, was referring to LSXGMC, but good to know what everyone is running for comparison. :)

Thanks. :)

Good info, on 2s or 3s? Up the voltage to 7 volts and let us know.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

anybody have a side by side picture of the 1080 next to an Fx-R?

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I just recieved mine and I was shocked at how compact it was. Sorry, but I do not have the FX-R to compare to though.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

FX-R is definitely smaller.
