If they are Hobbywing, they should be available separately soon too, and built-in anti-spark?

 emailed hobbywing, they have no plans in the distant future to produce a 12s car esc, ztw make it, they have built 100 esc so far, 3 of them are mine

Ztw are the factory that produces the esc, I'm unsure if ztw ( or to give it its proper moniker " shenzen ztw science & technology corporation limited " ) are the parent company ( so ztw trading as hobbywing ) or if hobbywing purchase and rebrand themselves.

 

There's actually only a few factories that make pretty much all esc units nowadays, and I know ztw's esc has the largest market share

 

They (ztw) where showcasing a 400/500+ amp esc a while back on Facebook, it had a crazy burst figure like 1600+ amps.....it got 1 like and a small amount of views, yet as soon as that's rebranded as hobbywing...boom...everyone wants it

 

They used to trade as ztw OEM pre 2007

Here's the link to their fb, the esc is on there somewhere.

here's a comparison size wise between the ztw 300 amp and the hobbywing max5

What are they like? On a par with Hobbywing?

10s

this is one of them, hopefully it works.

 

 

another.

 

It pains me to say this but I just dont think the tech is there yet to make true 1/5th scale work as an electric? These (at least from the videos) look so underwhelming for circa 40v!

 

Think we are a few years off yet. Xmaxx or IC it is for now

Yeah, I get what you're saying, but if you look at the rebranded Max8 (I think) in an Arrma car and there are differences, only two beeps on start up and very little programming options. I just wondered if these had bits deleted as well.

maybe they will in time once product is proven - don't want to risk the hobbywing name on a new product

Its possible they're made to a slightly different spec for arrma at their request.

 

E.g. the team orion r8 esc is a rebranded hobbywing, however it uses jap caps, giving it a 130a rating as opposed to the 120 of the hw

Probably very true!!

Well, either way, I'm looking forward to seeing some proper running vids of this in the next month. Maybe FID will do a decent promo.
