looks cheap and nasty to me!!!

[peter2117]

Well i dont mind hoe it looks as it will be out of sight.
I did a bit of comparison and googling and it loks similar to the HW xerun.
I am wandering if the electronics in that cheap one are that same as the xerun or would it be better to just spend fev more quid and get the xerun?

[dancook97]

i think i may be right in thinking that that is a kind of copy of the xerun, but don't count on it as im not sure
but for what the difference is you just aswell go with the ones that are tried and tested tbh.

i wouldnt touch it to be honest , your better just spending a little bit more and getting an ez-run at least you no what your getting.

See profile pic for answer.








Oh, don't bother with that, just buy an EzRun system

Thank you for all you replies guys.
As reading loads of you would stick with hobby wing and buy the tested stuff
I think in that case I will stick with the xerun as it is sensored .
But if anyone buys this cheap one from eaby just let us know

Thanks

I've got one, and to be honest - it works great! I've not used it loads as I was waiting for a sensored motor from Nobbyking that never turned up - when I gave up and put a 9t Ezrun motor on I was very pleasantly surprised, its (much) smoother on take off than the 60A Ezrun ESC I was using the motor with before, shows no problems with overheating and is super adjustable on the PC. In short; for the money it cannot be faulted!


Edited to say; Has anyone tried this?

Hmmmmm.........Your post ebo changed my mind .........I think I will give it a try. Going on ebay to buy it .
Will report to you guys when it arrives and will let you know how it's doing

I saw a good chap sensored motors from HW on ebay and a Novak balystic clone from INIX for £35 I think (sensored)

[peter2117]

Hello

Was a long time

I bot this esc some time ago and it arrived yesterday, so how I said I will let you know what I think and how it performes .
So here goes:

The ESC is non branded one and yeallow in colour (not attarctive but hey nobody will see it as it is under the cab ), and it is and Hobbywing Xerun copy.
The feel of it is actually preaty strudy and well built. Also the plastic used feels quality. It comes with presolderd silicone wires (14 AWG), CD which includes software and manuals, USB link and sensor wire. Some pictures below:







It comes with V3.0 stock HW software and it is compatible with HW USB link software as well as I have tested it.
It has all that same fitures and options as the HW Xerun. How I said it is a HW Xerun copy .
I am wondering if Hobbywing is aware of it?

Over all for a not even £30 ESC I am happy with it at the moment.
If anyone is short on cash I would recomend it

Forgot to add that it also works with brushed motors as I have checked that

good little review there mate,
looks like a decent bit of kit!

[peter2117]

Thanks

Kind of my first review of something

Yep it really is a good bit of kit. The price is good, the built quality is good.
The only bad point is that it is a copy so you are not supporting the RC manufactures and comunity.

[forbs]

hmmm I'm not sure its a copy maybe re branded for another supplier (I'm sure someone has told be this before)  

anyway good write up whats it going in out of interest? have you tried its functions with 2s and 3s ?

forbs

[ReggieC]

It probably is an xerun clone but, it probably use far lower quality components so although may work fine for a little while, is likely to blow a lot easier
