|  Reaaaaaally basic ESC question.
For my TRX-4, I'm looking at the Hobbywing WP 1080 which seems like a great little ESC for the price, but I'm trying to figure out if it'll provide enough power to my steering servo without help. The Hobbywing specs mention that it has a 3.0 amp internal BEC, does that mean if I plug a steering servo requiring 2 amp directly into the radio receiver, will that run at full power?

you would be good amp wise but full power might be a different deal if say you get a high voltage servo you would still have the amps to run it but you might not the volts to get full torque out of the servo

That's actually really helpful and a good point, thank you. I went ahead and got the Traxxas 400 servo, which I'm learning is not the best (alas) and I ordered the Traxxas BEC to go along with it, but the BEC was dead on arrival. I'm looking at the Hobbywing ESC so I can hopefully avoid having a BEC altogether, and it looks like it wouldn't be needed to use with that ESC and servo, so that's good! |

My Traxxas 400 oz servo has been fantastic. Ever company can make lemons I guess. As for the other parts, buy once cry once. Buy the best you can afford, of your just throwing good money after bad. |

I still have my origional traxxas servo in my trx4. Where my bomber servo failed in 15 minutes. Lol had to hide that news from the ball and chain since it was my first crawler. She already thought it was a waste of money. Any ways, the traxxas servo still works, but as the day goes on it gets weaker and weaker. Give it a rest and it's great for a while again. Trx is mostly a stock loaner vehicle so, meh. It's getting more power when it breaks though. Cost to performance, there is much better IMO. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |
