Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

The Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC seems like an absolute bargain for an affordable brushed setup.

3S, 80 amps, 3A switch mode BEC (which will be plenty for a single 6v servo), $40 and it even comes with program card.

I've used a lot of HW stuff in helis and they are crazy tough.

Anyone used this?

I'm thinking of pairing with a Tekin 30T PRO, 3S and a SCX10 and RR10.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I run one in my scx10. Pretty good unit for the price. Also the programmer works well and easy to use.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Yes. I preorded the WP1080 before it was even available and I've been recommending it ever since I received it. It's the best bang for your buck in RC right now. You won't find a smoother, quieter ESC at that price range. And it's crazy that the programming card is included at $40.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I have one and will be getting a few more soon

Has anyone tested the 7.4v for the servo yet to see if its accurate?

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I have one. I was impressed with it.. The price cannot be beat!

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

No, but it really throws my servo around with the internal BEC so I would think it's pretty close to being 7.4V.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Cool
Thats good to know
I dont mind getting a bec just would be less mess if I didnt have to get one for all the rigs.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I have one in my SCX10 also. Just like everybody else has said, it works great, the programmer card is easy to use. I have the BEC set at the higher setting and it works that crappy stock servo over. Helps that I am running small 1.9's but still works great.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Installed one in my TT Kaiser XS project after PM discussions with Screamer. Had one run before I smoked the stock motor but could tell it was worth every penny. For the $$ it was excellent for this small a rig and I would have no problem putting it in a SCX. Very smooth, great brakes and stupid easy to program with the card. Until the motor let go I ran for just over 15min with outside temps at 71* and ESC at 83*. I'm running a small PHD 1050 at 6v and a sub 4lb RC but would not blink at running the BEC at 7.2v.

Is it a MMP, Holmes etc? No but damn close and for $40 it is a no brainer IMO.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

You might want to blink... Lol
'cuz the 1080's internal BEC choices are for either 6.0v or 7.4v... not 7.2v

The internal BEC is only 3a tho'
so not sure if my amp hungry Savox servos won't be starved
or cause RX issues when plugged into that ?

Guess one should be sure their RX is up to handling 7.4v run thru.
I know mine will handle 8v... but not sure about my Savox servo's amp draw run thru the RX ?

Think I'd need stick with utilizing the HH's "Y" RX by-pass adapter.

I'm mostly curious about yer later statement and the comparison to more costly ESCs...
I currently run two of the HH's WP BR/XL's
So I am curious as to how the 1080 truly stacks up against the BR/XL.

Have you run both ?

Anybody ever put them in a head to head in comparison ? Link ?
~ Using 3s of course 'cuz the 1080 seems to have a 3s limit ~

Anyone run a higher voltage LiPo and an external BEC
to see if it can handle 4s ?

I'm tempted to buy one... 'cuz they're inexpensive
mostly just to compare it to the BR/XL
If it's nearly as good as an BR/XL...
keep it as a back up in case one of my BR/XL(s) might fail.

Does anyone have/run both the 1080 and BR/XL ?
My google search doesn't seem to come up with a head to head comparison.
Course maybe I suck at google.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

The 1080 just came out.
I think for the money its great.
For my scalers its perfect.
They are lightweight, inexpensive, and have a bunch of customized settings.
I have to fix my throttle punch, it kinda sucks right now.
Hopefully the bec at 7.4 will push the D772 servo to where it will work well.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

the D772 runs best on 7.4v
it's at its highest torque/spec rating at that voltage.
So to net the D772's full potential 7.4v it needs be.

But will your RX hold up to 7.4v run thru ?
that's likely the only real concern, if wiring it the traditional way.

Using the HH's "Y" RX by-pass and supplying voltage to the servo
directly from the primary battery/via external BEC is the better way.

And will eliminate all stress/load from a servo fed thru your RX.
Most RX's survive longer if fed 6.0v rather then 7.4v.

If ya know yer RX can handle up to 8.0v
7.4v shouldn't be too much.

But realize excessive amps drawn thru the RX by a servo
could create more internal heat and cause premature RX failure.

The D772 is not known as being an amp hungry servo...
But put the steering into a bind... and that servo's amp demand could rise.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I've a 1060 just now and a Waterproof AE-2 and i've just ordered the 1080 to try. If it's as good as i think it's going to be, i'll sell the 1060 and AE-2 for sure

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Cheers guys! Sounds fantastic!

JMHO though I've used an honest 3A SBEC on an RC helicopters with 1.2m rotor at 2750rpm doing smack 3D running 4 full sized 6v servo's at the same time without failure.

I do generally go for 10A constant/15-20A peak but that is for 4 servos and they are all constantly heavily loaded. Remember, I can't have even a single glitch flying a 3D heli else I am going in.

JMHO but there is very low chance a proper 3A SBEC will cause issues in a 1/10 truck with a single full sized servo. Even if that is a decent servo.

As for 6v vs 7.2/8v servos. TBBH, many HV servos get rather warm on 7.4-8v. Yeah they put out a bit more oomph but it's at the expense of longevity. This is just my personal experience, but if I bought a $200 servo which puts out 20kg of torque @ 6v servo (or 4 of them for a heli) I personally wouldn't run them @ 8v just to get an extra 4kg out of them knowing it won't last half as long. If it was 32kg @ 8v vs 20kg @ 6v then I'd consider it but not for minuscule gains.

Just wondering if there is any reason people aren't running the Align DS615?

They are ~$50-60, put out 13kg of torque @ 6v, are 0.08 second @ 60 degrees and man do they take some serious punishment in regards to the ears and gear sets. I had a set I've crashed into the ground 8 times, over 600 crazy hard flights and they are still kicking without any work.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

seems kinda low on torque for a crawler servo.
I won't run any servo in my crawlers having less then 400 oz in of torque.

Tho' currently my servos produce 500 oz in @ 6.0v and 695 oz in @ 7.4v respectively.

Many folk get away with utilizing less torque...
But just barely enough is not enough IMO.


Not every servo requires or uses the same voltage...

Some operate using 4.8 - 6.0v
and will fry if using a higher voltage.

others can run at 4.8 - 7.4v
but beyond 7.4v it could fail.

and then there's another servo that can be run at 12.0v
but I don't know what minimum voltage is required
for the servo to operate.

The rotor blade on a helicopter
would generally only have vehicle weight/air-wind resistance.

But for a RC crawler on the ground... those factors and more come to play.
There could be rocks or multitudes of other terrain obstacles
that might require more torque to overcome.

And a crawler's steering resistance is generally under more stress
then what an RC helicopter/plane/drone might be subjected to.

Most planes, drones or helicopters don't need servos with as much torque
as do ground pounding crawlers.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I just got WP 1080 and installed in the TF2 along with brushed Hackmoto V2 27T plus I decided to get the WP 1060 and 1060 sensored esc for my Wraith all hobbywing at the same time.....
I've own a few of there esc and happy with there product plus they been around for a while so they must be doing some thing right......

Attachment 355196

Edit : Plus they have the XT60 plugs that i use which is a bonus.......

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

So it's oz-in vs kg-cm...alrightly...

So you're using a 500 oz-in servo at 6v which is about 33kg-cm.

Ok, so basically they are just geared down so you won't have anything like 0.08/60 degrees. Slow but torquey. Like the old 35kg Futabas.

In the heli world a good servo is say 0.06/60 degrees with ~24kg kg-cm at 8.4v. They use 3 servos simultaneously to control the swash so that is still sizable load wise.

Drones (quad) don't use servos (just 4 brushless motors and 4 speed controllers) though sizable planes use hugely powerful ones like the crawlers but might have multiple on a single wing.

Here's an example of a 3D heli in action anyway to give you an idea of the forces (which are pretty violent).

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Been running my Quicrun 1080 for a little over a month now and I'm very impressed with it. It's at least as good (better I think) as a Castle Sidewinder 3. It's smaller, has more tuning options, comes with an extremely easy to use program card, I haven't even gotten it warm yet, and the price is unbeatable. The only thing budget about this ESC is the price tag and it may have some shy away from buying just because it seems too cheap to be any good. I highly recommend this ESC to anyone running brushed motors no matter what your budget is. You could spend more but there's just no good reason to. The Quicrun 1080 is a gem.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I have had my 1080 for around 2 months now after my new warrantied sw3 smoked out after the second pack i ran through it. I live in Michigan so i can't say how cool it runs, but it has been covered in snow and submerged in one of our several warm ups this year.

Programing is nicer since you don't have to break into your receiver box. You just plug right into the esc. They are really quite as well.

Been happy with it so far.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

What in the hell did it just watch.Looks like some type of Alien or something.And to change direction without breaking anything...
Never seen any body fly like that,kinda cool i guess....

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I just picked this up for my wraith kit. Just need the electronics to complete. I am familiar with hobbywing after using a brushless setup for my Yeti and knew this was the go to company for a budget friendly ESC. The cost for what you get far exceeds the more expensive brands.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I am thinking of getting a couple of the WP 1060's for my Kyosho Blizzard SR along with a V-Tail Mixer. Cheap and could be more fun?? Maybe.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Ha! Yeah, everyone thinks helicopters are really sedate and somehow like drones...err...no...lol

They are insane and totally addictive...but really, REALLY hard to fly...and very dangerous.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Cool video... my friend used to mow the grass with his. Lol
Think he was sponsored by Airtronics during his competitions.
He'd fly his just like you do.

Too expensive for me when a mistake is made :cry:

But yeah... IMO servo speed is not as critical in a crawler as it is for an RC helicopter.

I'm sure stunt helicopters still require a respectable amount torque.
But it's definitely got to be a really fast servo to do what you're doing.

My Savox 1230 isn't even close .16/60* @ 6.0v = 500 oz-in ( 36 kg-cm )

My Savox 2290 fairs better .13/60* @ 7.4v = 695 oz-in ( 50.04 kg-cm )

but neither hold a candle to the speeds you utilize.

But an RC crawler is not an rc helicopter and share little in common.

My bad on the drones... I forgot they don't use servos.
Guess you can tell I don't own one !? Lol

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

These are the helicopters that can decapitate a person! I remember seeing in the news about a newbie testing his helicopter and it chopped part of his skull off! This alone has me frightened plus it looks way too fast and crazy!!

Is that guy in the UAE?? Tareq Alsaadi sounds Arabic....??

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

So one could assume that the internal BEC would not be able to hold up to both a servo and a servo winch?

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Seen a few peopl on one of the Axial pages on FB saying the run these on 3s with no issues.
3s on 20t barely gets warm and another with 3s on 35t and 500oz/in servo on internal BEC and works great.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I ran two 25 minute courses today with the 1080 on 3s and a 35t motor. Used a solar d772 on 7.4. No bec. Worked like a champ.

I've only had my SCX10 II up and running for a few days, but I'm running the 1080 ESC. Between this and a Sidewinder 3, the 1080 worked better. For the price I'm not sure you could beat it. Instead of messing with Castle Link, the $40 price included a program card. I'd have no problem buying it again.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Im ordering two more for my other rigs this week.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

loved the heli u-tube , I can relate, built my first 450 heli, first flight was by one of the best in the world. My first flight and lots after made me a very competent repairer of broken flying machines, was no good at flying them. Hence, tiny trucks, different genre, but, equally as challenging.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Tried my 1080 now.
Old Venom 17t brushed motor
SCX10 chassis with 1.9's (weighted)
15/87 gearing
3s lipo
No external BEC
20KG servo

After about an hour of trailing / bashing the ESC barely got luke warm
Lots of settings to play with. Only downside i had is the cable that connects to the ESC to programme it is a little loose and can lose connection if you're not absolutely still whilst changing settings.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Odd. My programming card connection isn't loose at all. Do you think it's the ESC plug or the programming card cable?

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I'm running the WP1080 on my GCM Skeleton build and I'm very impressed with it. I've run many HW ESC's in many other buggies and such and always thought they worked great, the programming card is easy to use and way better than damn flashing LED's!

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Just got one of these in a trade, I've always used HH or castle stuff so I'm curious how this will do. Great price new and the programmer is super easy to use.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

What is the lvc for lipos with this esc? The manual speaks only about lvc for Ni-Mh batteries.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I have one that's going to go in my TF2 running a tekin 55t motor and savox 1231sg servo with BEC. Can't wait to try it out. Heard nothing but great things about this ESC.

I won another one at a raffle this past weekend.
So that makes two I own.
My mom got me one for my bday last week, so thats the three I need for my rigs.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

I've been beating on mine for a couple weeks now, seems to be the budget ticket for sure. Just a 35t but it doesn't even give it a workout running 5000 mah back to back. The lighted push button on/off is pretty cool too.

Re: Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?
 

Yup. I've looked through the manual and can't find anything about LVC for lipos. And, why do you need a LVC for Ni-Mh? I've just ordered one of these and I guess I'll start out with the "High" setting and check the cell voltage when it cuts out and adjust from there. Might have to run a low voltage alarm as well when I run the first pack through it, just to be on the safe side. Does anyone have any idea what LVC for the Low, Medium, and High setting is for Lipo batteries? Inquiring minds need to know.
