Please, I just bought one of these, why is the XT60 considered useless for this?

@@-xirx- The XT60 connector is rated for 60 amps continuous and the ESC is rated for 120 amps continuous. It's just undersized. If you're running it with a really low power motor and a light car you might be able to get away with it but I wouldn't recommend it. I go XT90 at least

@DoRC thankyou very much ✌️

Hey that's cool about the programming port I didn't think about that! Yeah it's hard to argue with the value proposition of this. My main reason for buying higher end ESCs has always been to get the high voltage BEC but now that this has it as well I really can't justify spending more. Thanks for watching and if you enjoy my videos a sub is appreciated!

This is waaaaay behind the Mamba x hahaha which can handle 200amps. Not even in the same class

@@demarco1531 Do you mean the mamba monster x? I don't think the Mamba x is 200 amps continuous. That being said this isn't competing with either one of those at 1/3 the price.

I wouldn’t recommend using the program port for the fan it’s less than 6v and it will work just not very grate

Yeah it's definitely worth getting. I honestly think it's the best 4S value you can get right now.

Sounds like the sc8 v2 not max 10

@as-ifif-as3081 SC8 and Max 10 SCT were both very similar. The main difference being that the Max 10 SCT had more tuning ability and a 7.4 volt BEC. Given that this has that same tuning ability and 7.4 volt BEC I feel like it's more similar to the old Max 10 SCT but really it's very close to both. Thanks for watching!

Is it ready to run out of the box? Or does it need to be programmed??? Thanks in advance!

Thanks:-) Glad you enjoyed! If you aren't already subscribed a sub is appreciated.

Yeah it's a pretty awesome system for the price. Thanks for watching!

It's happened. Check out my 8s sledge video :-)

Yeah for sure I can't wait for them to come out with that but I don't have anything to do with it as I'm not affiliated with them at all :-) That being said if you enjoy my videos a sub is appreciated!

Yeah they are awesome ESCs for the money!

I don't think this particular model has been out that long.

@DoRC no not this exact one, the model before this. I ordered 2 of them from Amazon and have used them in a basher 4x4 stampede with a 3660 motor and another in a basher rustler with a 4 pole castle sct motor and they have held up extremely well even on 3s. Definitely get your money's worth plus some

@@Jason_Voorhees. Ah ok. Yeah the previous 10 BL 120 was good as well.

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching :-)

Yeah you might be a little get away with it but it's far from ideal. XT60 connectors are designed to handle around 60 amps continuous. That's a far cry from the 150 amps continuous that these ESCs can flow.

Might be able to get away with and XT60 and that kind of power but it's far from ideal. The XT60 is really only rated for 60 amps and even this system far exceeds that. At the very least you're losing some performance to heat in the connection.

Awesome! You might want to consider putting a little dab of silicone in those holes if you ever take it off again just to make sure that it's still waterproof.

what is the exact name of the m3 adhesive tape?

@James.Parker 3m VHB

Yeah the first generation ones are really nice. Pretty small too! Thanks for watching if you enjoy the videos they sub is appreciate it :-)

@@DoRC I got u bro 👍

Awesome man thank you :-)

Awesome I don't think it would disappointed. Thanks for watching and if you aren't already subscribed a sub is appreciated :-)

Oh sorry I figured since it was the max that the assumption would be 4s. It was 4S with the stock 2400 KV maxx motor. Given that the minimum KV for the ESC on 4S is 2600 I think I was pushing it pretty hard

Interesting. I've run quite a few different ESCs with fans that turn off and on automatically and I've never really noticed an increase in debris getting stuck in them. It seems like debris going to get in there whether the fans on or off but I suppose it is possible.

It should be great in the slash! It was almost holding its own in my maxx and the slash weighs a lot less. Slash Platinum is an awesome truck! Thanks for watching and commenting :-)

@@DoRC Cool, I'm surprised that ESC ran well in your Maxx I love both my LCG Ultimate and HCG Platinum Slash 4x4's they are awesome. My main Slash 4x4 ultimate and my Hoss Ultimate project will be getting the Max 10 G2 140a with 3665 2,400KV combo. and i have a few plans for Hobbywing's other new combos for my other RC's i will get in the near future.

Same here. I wasn't really sure how it would go but I feel like testing something in a way that it definitely will work perfectly isn't a great test so I always try to push stuff at least close to its limits

Definitely a decent ESC!

Nice! I don't think you'll be disappointed It's a pretty good ESC. I think it's going to find a permanent home in something of mine. Thanks for watching and if you enjoy my videos a sub is appreciated :-)

Yeah it's an awesome little ESC!

@@DoRC plug and play, stock out of box settings were good!

I'd go with an MMX8s combo. That's going to give you pretty much all the power you could ever use in a buggy

You're absolutely correct! My brain was thinking the other way around where four is 80% of five but of course the way I said it wasn't like that. And like you said even better! Thanks for watching :-)

I think it's going to depend on your setup but it can make a pretty significant difference on initial acceleration. I'd recommend getting the LCD program box. It's 20 bucks well spent.

Yeah I agree. I put it in the max just to stress it as much as possible for the test but I think that's a bit much. It did handle it admirably well though. Thanks for watching and if you aren't already subscribed a sub is appreciated :-)

@@DoRC Subscribed a long time ago bud. Hehe. Heck, even the Max 8 would thermal on my V2 Maxx with aluminum upgrades when I tried higher gearing. That's one thing that the MMX8S and XLX2 have over the Gen 1 Max 6 and Max 5. They thermal less. But with the newer aluminum version of the HW stuff, I think that issue will be solved with the bigger higher geared stuff. Another whole conversation. Sorry 🤣

Thanks for being subscribed :-) Yeah the maxx can definitely put some strain on a ESC especially if it's upgraded. I'm actually working on some upgrades for the one that was in the video now. I think I will be putting a Max 6 in it in the long run though I haven't quite decided yet.

@@DoRC Yeah the Max 6 or the MMX8S would either be a better choice for the Maxx. It's just so heavy 😂👍

That it is.

Agreed. Making some big gains!

@@DoRC more raising the bar

For sure.

Why XT90? Everyone use different connectors. Thats reason why serious ESC are sold without any connectos :-) It does not matter what is there. Im using for example AS150 and 4mm bullets :-) This ESC looks great, nice alternative to the indoor/onroad 1/10 legend - 10BL120 which is with sensored, but looks way durable. Definitely must try one when it comes to Europe.

I don't think It necessarily needed XT90 but anything that is rated to handle close to what the amperage on the ESC is would be good. Xt60 is just way under size.

There's just the port for the ESC fan but generally speaking you would plug the motor fan into a free spot on the receiver. Only really Horizon has been putting a port on their vehicles for that purpose. Most other vehicles don't have a specific motor fan port.

I've actually run it on several different vehicles. It's great for pretty much any three or four s application.

Yeah the axe stuff is nice but not cheap. I wonder if the old sensored quic runs would work

Try the fusion se. Brushless 2-in-1 for under $90. And they're for crawlers. I haven't bought one yet, but I've only heard great things about them.

I think what he’s asking is an ESC that’ll work with multiple brand motors for crawlers. It’d be cool to have something like the Copperhead made by Hobbywing. I’m not a fan of Castle. I like all the internal protection stuff Hobbywing has

I know they have an adapter for the Max G2 series ESCs though I don't know if it would work on their axe models

Nope TQ will work fine with this.

I've never really had a problem with the 4 mm bullets on even up to 150 amp ESCs. The current is being shared between the three connectors so no single connector is going to be handling the full amount of juice. Have you actually had problems with 4 mm motor bullets on these ESCs?

@@DoRC that is a good point that it is divided up across 3 bullets. I never have run high amp draw through an ESC with 4mm bullets but with the Velineon on really tall gearing the 3.5 mm bullets it had cost me several mph vs 6.5mm bullets and in my buddies testing made I believe it was both the ESC and motor run significantly hotter.

Get the 8BL. PROBLEM SOLVED

@inspireonex Yeah if it's appropriate for the application.

Hey I don't really have any experience with the Gorgon so can't answer that question. You might want to ask In one of the Arrma groups on Facebook.

You know I don't remember but most hobbywing ESCs do.

I didn't need the wire to be that long anyway and with the lead free solder and a long wire you risk deforming a little XT60 trying to desolder it. It didn't get thrown away though. It went in my bag of used connectors and it'll get used eventually :-)

Yep! Very good value for money. Thanks for watching:)

I bet it would be perfect for it. I had a max10 sct in mine which is very similar to this and it did very good.

I think it would be awesome. This is very similar to the first generation Max 10 SCT and I've run those on multiple 3S platform vehicles with great results. Thanks for commenting and if you enjoy my videos a sub is appreciated :-)

Same here.

Some 6.5 mm to 4 mm bullet adapters that I made myself. I think you can get them on eBay as well though

@@DoRC thanks

Go to the hobbywing direct website. Should be able to find it on there! Thanks for watching :-)

Not at all. Have you verified that the programming is set up for to work in reverse and have you calibrated the transmitter to the ESC?

Of course multiple times!

Of course multiple times!

I don't specifically remember but it's just whatever I had in my box that fit. Probably wasn't ideal :-)

XT90 or EC5 are the best two options. Thanks for watching!

@@DoRC Thank you! Like your videos man! Keep it up!😀

@@tane388 Glad you enjoy and thanks for watching :-)

Yes. This ESC would be a great pairing with that motor! The bullets should be the same size as well so it should connect right up. Thanks for watching :-)

Yeah I think that would be a good matchup and you would get both reliable performance and crazy power if you want it in something like a BBX.

Yes

The ESC has 4 mm connectors built into it. If you have a motor that has 4 mm bullets already then you're good to go. I created the adapters to go to the 6.5 mm bullets on the motor but I'm sure you can also get adapters if you need to. Thanks for watching and if you enjoy the videos a sub is appreciated!

@@DoRC So what you're saying is the esc has female 4mm connectors, however does this ESC come with the wires? From usual escs the 3 esc leads are long and able to reach the motor's male leads. I dont own hobbywing brushless escs so I wonder if separate motor leads need to be purchased to connect the esc and motor. (the 3 leads from motors are usually shorter so I dont see how it can reach esc easily). Thanks

@@sputnikwood oh okay. Yeah actually a lot of ESCs including pretty much all of them from hobbywing and castle don't have wires coming out of the ESC itself. Some spectrum do and Traxxas ones do as well. Whether or not your motor wires are going to reach will just depend on what combination you have and where they are in relation to each other on the chassis. Some motors have pretty long wires and it won't be a problem and others might be too short. I would say maybe one in five setups that I do require me to do some sort of extension. This particular ESC does not come with any sort of wiring for that but you can buy extensions pretty inexpensively online.

@@DoRC Thank you. This will help if I ever want to get this ESC.

You're welcome thanks for watching and commenting!

Absolutely. This ESC is definitely not ideal for that vehicle. I was just trying to push it to its limits and if I put it in something that it's completely appropriate for then I probably wouldn't find those limits.

After getting an Arrma Granite, I noticed how much clogging there is with my Maxx at the low end. Would the 150 with the stock motor fix that? I typically run it on 3S but I do run 4S on occasion and have never had any other issues with the stock ESC.

@alexp6409 You really shouldn't have cogging even with the stock power system. Are you running stock gearing and stock tires?

@@DoRCI will pay more attention to it next time I take it out but yeah, it cogs pretty bad. I upgraded to Sledehammers but everything else is stock. I normally run it on 3s. Maybe it’s better on 4s.

It will do between 2S and 4S and it would be good for pretty much any 1/10 scale vehicle. It's not really appropriate for 1/8 scale though. I do have a video coming out very soon about a new budget option for 1/8 scale though so make sure you get subscribed so you don't miss that! Thanks for watching :-)

Yes though gearing might be a challenge since the motor will be running a little slower than if you were using something like a 3000KV motor that you would normally use on 3S.

Yes it can and I'd recommend going with one of the combos that you can get with it directly from hobby Wing.

Yeah should be fine just make sure that the stock motor uses 4 mm bullets as the connectors.

Nice!

In this case because it rated for half the current of the ESC it came with.

Usually the motors will come with wires but if it didn't I would recommend 12 AWG silicon jacketed 200C wire. You'll also need 4 mm male bullets to connect to the ESC

Thank You Friend! 😀

Thank You Friend! 😀

The ESC can probably handle it but I highly doubt the 5900KV motor is rated for 4S. Chances are you will physically blow it apart due to high RPM.

Yes it's very good. You can use the same program and cards as on the previous models to program it.

Ok friend, another question does the 2s battery work in this 10bl120 g2 esc?

@@fabricioaraujo6783 Yes. It is 2 to 4S compatible.

Maybe but the MK07 is pretty heavy. I think I would recommend putting a 6S ESC in there and running it on 4S instead. If you aren't being too aggressive this ESC would probably be okay but I really just depends on how you're planning on driving it

@@DoRC if I'm going to have to spend over $100 get a 4s esc on it, I lught just have to go with the new axe system. Ugh. Or maybe just try the cheapo hw 880.

@@bbeckers24 I'd be very tempted to try the 880.

For racing or bashing?

@@DoRC a little bit of both but more bashing than racing

@@johnellefa if you're going to be racing I would go for the sensored system.

Yeah that would work okay I think.

@@DoRC I just don’t know if I need a 3660 can instead

@@Arturito2017 If you can manage the gearing on 2S I would go for the larger motor.

@@DoRC so would the 3660 provide more torque?

@Arturito2017 Yes the larger the motor the more powerful it will be.

Yeah typically I would not recommend it though That wire diameter at that length really isn't going to add much resistance to the system. I just have it set up like that because I needed to adapt from one type of connector to another. I do a lot of swapping hardware around and it's not practical to constantly be soldering new connectors on

I mean the bullet connectors from motor to esc do I need to buy extension leads then brother I’ve tried it and works well atb Craig

@@user-cg2xr6rb3p oh sorry I misunderstood what you were saying. Yes. As long as you can solder the bullets on that match the ESC you can have the wires pretty much any length you want. Keep in mind though that some motors use the actual windings for the external wires and those windings have an enamel coating on them that can be pretty difficult to work with when trying to solder

There already on my 3060 2700 kv motor thanks so much for getting back to me

@@user-cg2xr6rb3p okay yeah as long as the bullets are the right ones you can go ahead and connect them right up.

The original 10 BL 120 is sensored. This version is not. They share the same name but they're not really related in design. This is more closely related to the G1 Max 10 SCT.

I don't like doing links for two reasons. The first one is that they are pretty much constantly going stale and keeping up with updating them is a logistical nightmare and the other one is I don't want you to think I'm trying to sell you anything because I'm not

Nice!

Nice!

Yes

Did you experience overheating?

I just purchased it. Thanks!

@Harvz78 no these run pretty cool.

@@Harvz78 You're welcome. Let me know how it goes :-)

I didn't notice any. I know the original Max 10 had a bit of a delay depending on the setup but this felt pretty snappy.

I bought two combos with the speed controller, and both vehicles. Have a very slow response for reverse, sometimes reverse does not even work.

In my experience if it appears to be a hobbywing ESC in every way and is just missing the brand label it is genuine but I can't guarantee that for every situation.

Absolutely. I would recommend a 6S ESC in the maxx. It's essentially a small 1/8 scale truck these days.

I hear what you're saying but the Max 10 SCT has already been superseded by the SCTG2 and I think this G2 ESC has been designed to kind of fill the gap left by that happening. If you look at the specs this is nearly identical to the original Max 10 SCT with actually a few better features. I think as the ez run line moves more upmarket The quicrun line is starting to as well. I believe this is the first one in that series that has HV BEC capability.

The plugs capability has nothing to do with the voltage and everything to do with the current. This ESC is rated for far more current than the connector is rated for. It doesn't matter what voltage you using if you're pushing 120 amps through a 60 amp connector your overloading it.

Everybody enjoys the hobby differently.

What do you mean ?. I'm new to the hobby ... I notice people bashing and crashing to much . Looks like fun but lots of fixing I like a good rip around.

@@NatesRCclips Yeah like I said in reply to the original comment there is no wrong way to enjoy this hobby. If it's putting a smile on your face you're doing it right no matter how different it is from how other people do it.

I guess it might depend on what you're doing with it but I've run these systems in many different vehicles and especially for the price they are awesome! If you are melting battery terminals then there's something wrong either with you or connectors or with your soldering as the battery connections should always be able to handle the full output power of your battery.

100% on you when the fucking batter terminals are melting 😂😂😂
