-BEZ- Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Coming soon from Hobbywing is the Xerun XR8 Plus brushless speed controller for 1/8th scale applications. The 6S LiPo-compatible ESC offers a highly efficient heat dissipation system, a 15A BEC system with selectable 6V or 7.2V output and an advanced electronic switch with improved durability compared to standard mechanical switches. The controller is usable with sensorless brushless motors as well as Hobbywing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 If the specs are right, 15A BEC, selectable 6V / 7.2V - this sounds pretty decent!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-boy Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Just noticed the 'Hobbywing's new sensored motor' - that prob goes someway to explain why HW / Leopard cans seem scarce on the ground too. Interesting times ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deafty Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 That's easy, import from China! I only buy electrics that way. There prices will be affected also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
