byron185 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Ok so I have given my Sawback it's first run in the garden. Bought this as a new build off eBay the only thing not really happy with is the combo.it has a tamiya lipo compatible esc and silver can which runs ok but I think I shall treat it to an esc with a drag break and a motor with some torque Any suggestions.dont want to spend a fortune but want a bit more caperbillity Also any other tips on what may need upgrading would be appreciated Some pics below Just moved house and the previous owners left me some bits in the garden to play on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatRCguy Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hpi saturn 35t and a quicrun 1060 should do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Your garden looks perfect for MOA! For combo, look at an RC4WD 35t and HobbyWing 1060 brushed ESC. Great little set up for something like that and only around 35quid, not to be sniffed at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) No idea, but it won't work either way lol. Castle BEC is the way forward. Unless you own an RX8, in which case, Castle BEC is the way forward Edited August 30, 2015 by Oh How Original 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you own an RX8, in which case, Castle BEC is the way forward I need an esc that gives out 6v so it can power my reciever. Its a wierd voltage and ive only found that brushless escs or an mtroniks tio rock-c esc work with it but the tio gets a bad write up and im not spending 35 quid on something thats not worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you own an RX8, in which case, Castle BEC is the way forward It works fine in my D90. Didn't need a BEC with the one I had in the Aqroshot either. I only fitted one to Bouddica because of the monster tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only fitted one to Bouddica because of the monster tyres Granted, they do run fine, but the difference between no BEC and a Castle BEC set at 6v is big. Even the difference between those Turnigy BEC's which I've successfully used and the Castle ones are very noticable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Does the 1060 have a drag break mode ? On the ESC itself, theirs some pins, you plug a connector into whichever port you want, either forward/reverse/brake etc... All you do is remove the plug all together and that activates the drag brake. It comes on about 80%, so it does hold you on certain points, but also if you're on something really steep, it will just naturally let the truck roll down. I actually really like them.

Oh How Original Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 And if you don't like it, it's not a lot risked lol, but they are a grand little ESC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byron185 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 I have a tamiya torque tuned Motor 25 t spare do I use that or I have found a Saturn 35 t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Try the Torque Tuned, if it's not to your tastes at least it gets you moving. The QR1060 is a great lil ESC for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yeah if you already have a motor, give it a whirl... RC4WD are easy, either eBay or RCBitz. IMO they're great quality motors, not rebuildable but last for ages anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomlad Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I have just got a RC4WD 540 motor from eBayhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121197501808?redirect=mobile Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
