Mr. Doktor Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hi. I need a budget ESC for a savage based MT. It will run on 4s. I have been out of the hobby for 5 years, so I need some help. Are there any budget options ? Are the ESCs from Hobbyking good? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hit and miss, with most HobbyKing stuff really, well, anything electrical. The Max10 can do 4s, but that's it's limit, very good ESC though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrighty8766 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) The Hobbywing quicrun 150a is probably the best option, only around £55-£60 on eBay from China and very good for the money. If budget can stretch a little more then maybe look at the Hobbywing Max8 Quicrun 150a Max8 Edited March 5, 2018 by Wrighty8766 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Oops you're absolutely right, I forgot they were on that really good offer at the moment! Yes, one of those over the Max10 for 8th scale! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazp1976 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 The Quicrun from rc mart. One here to watch: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8BL150-Hobbywing-Quicrun-ESC-for-Brushless-1-8-scale-RC-Car/302657068789?hash=item4677c45ef5:g:GmsAAOSw58Vamaf5 Or These esc's have been good to me: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKYRC-TORO-Black-TS150-Sensored-Brushless-Motor-150A-ESC-Speed-Controller-SL784/253413081742?epid=1372364790&hash=item3b0098c28e:g:JfsAAOSwZFdaeZ9X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Doktor Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Thank you for suggestions! Too bad the postage to Slovakia is so high. It alone would cost like 15 GBP for that nice used quicrun. I will take a look at a noew one on ebay shipped from China. What is the difference between Quicrun 150 and Max 8? Is the Max 8 more reliable or it just offers more functions and options to be adjusted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah didn't spot location I don't see much difference between the 2 except for the motor connections. 4mm on the Quic, 6.5mm on the Max. Settings are basically the same although the Max 8 isn't suitable to run a 5s pack. Go for the Quicrun from RCMart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
