Hobbywing Ezrun esc and motor combo.Are the motors any good?

[martin34]

Hi I am looking at the Hobbywing esc and motor combos for my savage flux.You can get the 150a esc,programe card and motor for about

[jake1*2011]

ive havent used them but ive heard good things about their motors

[The Dark Knight]

They are good for the money 

[Deafty]

Yeah they are good for a combo price, but if u have the choice Leopard motors have a better overall opinion by users.  My HW 2200KV runs a little hot for my liking.  (same price bracket if not cheaper )

 

That being said, if you get a sensored ESC from HW it does make sense to use a sensored motor.

But here's what I've got in the post

No mate just the Op

I run a hobbywing motor and esc combo. Works great! I was under the impression that Hobbywing make Speed Passion stuff, which is highly regarded.

Hi. 2200kv motor & 150 A esc

[nedl25]

I'm running the HW 3650 and 70A ESC combo in my rustler and their great. Not hot or anything, they are very fast too.

[martin34]

Hmm Leopard 2000kv or Hobbywing 2200kv.Whats the difference in performance?

[Deafty]

Good question, if u can wait till monday I can compare em both, Leopard arrived yesterday

 

Though the main difference with the combo is; the HW is sensored.  I've run this both with and without the sensor cable and can say that over 50% throttle is neglible improvement with, however under 50% throttle I have far more throttle "feel".  Sensorless gives a bit of a kick around 40-50% throttle (minor) but more like a spike in revs where as sensored is very consistent throughout.  If u want silky smooth throttle cntrol then go sensored.   HW do a 2000Kv sensored but rare as!

 

My 2200kv runs to hot for my liking,  I rekon I can get more speed with the 2000kv leopard, geared up and stay cool.  But that's just an unproven thought.

I also believe they make the Orion esc's and motors aswell

[Randum]

Try funshobby for a xerun esc and tenshock motor combo. Have heard good things about the tenshock motors and will be getting one for trophy truggy at some point

[martin34]

I look forward to hearing how you find the leopard.Did it come with the bullets already installed so you can just plug it in?I just ordered the leopard

Edited June 29, 2013 by martin34

[Deafty]

Yup, Leopard came with bullets and set of three opposites should you need em.  Well packaged too

[RCMonkee]

I have had the HW Xerun 2250kv combo in 2 of my 1/8 buggy's and it has been great. Currently in my Losi 8e. Its very reliable and for the money i think its the best value.

Like Deafty said it does run fairly hot even with the recommended gear ratio.
