thomaskmon Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi im have problem with hobbywing quicrun esc 1060. It automatically enters limp mode. I have tried with a few plays. New batteries 2s (10ah), trying in jumpers on nimh or lipo, new electrics, lose power after a while (randomly at different intervals). Thanks for help !

That motor is aimed at boats it says. Have you got a regular 540 sized brushed motor for testing purposes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting that sometimes when it restarts immediately, it is in limp mode, and sometimes it enters after a while. When I turn off the esc and wait a few minutes and turn it on again, it's okay for some time. Unfortunately at the moment I do not have 540 for checking.

soopahfly Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 These new 1060s are crap. They all go into limp. There's loads of posts and videos on Yt about it.Even a fix with a capacitor kit.Mine did it with a stock 540 tamiya and both a new Lipo and a nimh.Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hmmm, I wasn't aware of the above. I guess it's time to buy a 1080 then, because they are all good, solid and very reliable. Also programmable. Worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth the money.I'd already binned the box or else I'd have sent mine back.Tried it with a sport tuned and a stock silver can 540, an absima ab3.4 buggy and a lunchbox, and the two batteries.Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk It's been a while since I used a 1060 tbh, I always go 1080 for brushed now, as it's the best one you can buy in my opinion.

Tug Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 If they're mounted in a boat, are they getting enough air to cool them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertberr Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Is it a 'cheap' 1060 off eBay, or one from a HW authorised seller / distributor? It's Schumacher in UK but not sure if you're in UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soopahfly Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Well the one I got was from modelsport, so you'd hope it was legit. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Could be a dodgy batch, or a knock-off if it's not from a proper RC outlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
