Hi guys,I’m running a KEXB with a TP4070 motor but looking to pick up a used Hobbywing 4985 1650kv to test just to see how it compares. Does anyone have one spare one they’d want to sell? Don’t get me wrong, the TP4070 is a superb motor and I love it but just want to try something else - just curious really so don’t want to buy the Hobbywing brand new before anyone suggests that! Tia.

I have a Kraton EXB with an EZRUN-MAX8-V3 ESC. My batteries got wet and one of them failed (my bad). I dried them out and managed to get the affected one working again. I spotted what looked like white lithium oxide inside the battery and decided that it was safest to bin it. Lithium being highly reactive with water and all. So I plumped for a new battery. I am now using one new and one old battery. My charger/tester shows all the cell voltages as being OK, as with the internal resistance, i.e. the old battery matches the brand new one. I'm running a discharge tested on them now and they seem fine. The Kraton will not power up. Normally when I turn the ESC on the motor and ESC will 'beep'. This is not happening now. The red light on the switch now flashes. I cannot find a mention of the switch LED in the instructions, only the LEDs on the ESC itself. I have put the programming card onto the ESC and it does not light up. However, if I disconnect the car batteries from the ESC and power the programming card externally, then the programming card works. I can check all the ESC settings and they match my choices. I have powered the radio receiver externally too with the ESC disconnected. I can control the steering using the radio, as normal. Incidentally, I tested the servo and it was fine (it is also brand new). With the ESC reconnected it powers and the radio still powered externally, then the ESC does seem to start and the green light flashes, the fan comes on, the steering works. Unsurprisingly, the motor does not run, because the supply is only 5V. So, what am I missing? When the battery popped did the ESC pop too? What does the flashing red switch light mean? Any other ideas. Commiserations welcome too... I'm truly hoping the ESC is OK or can be fixed. Rich

Evening all, I'm in the market for an ESC to pair with my 3650 52000kv brushless motor. I'm initially going to use it for a few speed runs using a 3s battery for short bursts. but for most of the time I'll use a 2s for general fun and frolics out and about. I'm running a WLTOYS 144001. I'm looking at the 60a or 120a Hobbywing EZ or quickrun ESCs. Questions I have: 1.will I get more top speed out of the 120a ESC vs a 60a ESC? 2. If I primarily use a 2s lipo would it be better to got for the 60a over the 120a? 3. Apart from the size and cost difference is there much performance-wise difference for ,y intemded use between such ESCs? Thanks Mart

I just got tje ESC with its programming card, REV 2.0 I cannot access the advanced settings, neither from the card of from the ESC "set" button, any idea why? Thank you!

I am looking for a brushless motor 3500 kv to 4000 kv, for a 1/10 car.
