Yeah i'm a bit shocked by the price. The other hobbywing brushless lineup has been cheaper than the Mamba X combos. You could get an XR8 plus G2 motor for cheap. Hopefully the performance match the price tag... Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

| Re: Hobbywing Xerun AXE Just curious, what particular performances would make it a better choice for you? Seems castle has a lot of customizability, could even go with Holmes' castle variant for the "Holmes Hold"...

I was just saying in general, higher price should mean better performance. I really like the waterproof sensor cable and the Bluetooth. Now that i think about it, that Bluetooth might be worth 50$ in itself... Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

What is stopping yourself and the other motor/ESC manufacturers getting together and forming a working group to solve this? It's worked in other industries. | |

Everybody wants their own standard in this industry. Like trx plugs.

The price - people are hearing $250 will be the price and balking, but... 1. Where is this info? I haven't seen it stated, officially, by HobbyWing. 2. I assume that's retail and street price will be lower. 3. This is a new system with new to the crawler world features. Performance has yet to be determined. It might be worth $250 or maybe not. To be determined. 4. The motor is crawler specific for the AXE system and has features your run of the mill motor doesn't. I don't think you can fairly compare this motor directly to your favorite, inexpensive motor. More features usually mean a higher price. |

Ok, its a 57/43 split in androids favor. Still, as a developer, I can see the appeal of Apples quality control system over Androids. Its just easier to develop for Apple since there arent a myriad of different devices to tailor the experience too. | |

You guys need to learn to multi quote. It prevents a lot of clutter... Quote:
HobbyWing does offer some budget electronics, but, as I said, they make world class products. Even their "budget" WP 1080 is an amazing ESC. Quote:
