I like the tekin, but they should make a new FX-r type that is waterproof and have a lower motor limit on 3S. It is so old...

Anyone using the Hobbywing QUICRun WP 1080 ESC?

Indeed it deserves an update. "thumbsup"

FX-R is way smaller. It's about 2/3 the 1080. I just put them side by side on my bench. Other than size nothing about the FX-R is worth the extra money over the 1080. If you can make a 1080 fit get two. You'll want another down the line eventually. Might as well save on shipping...

Hmmm. How many cells? How old are the packs? What vehicle (load)? Maybe the voltage sag is too much.

Hi guys 1st time poster many years lurker i've learnt alot through reading here ive built myself a nice cms kit and other bits n bobs for my cliched to hell scx10 hilux. I need some advice with calibration with this esc I cant for the life of me get the throttle to work with my ax3 radio but it works fine with a early 2000s fm radio? Thanks in advance. I'm new to this so if i'm in the wrong section let me know.

On some radios you need to reverse the th channel to calibrate, also some tx functions has to be disabled or set to neutral.

did you try to plug the esc into the steering channel?
if this works than your rx is dead too.

Plug your BEC plug that normally goes into the RX into the power spot on the programmer. I'm pretty sure that's what I did. Been a while....

Has anyone tried 4S on one of these yet...be handy to know. Thinking one of these with a 21T 550 Titan....
Well there's probably a reason, considering it's only specified for 2-3S use.

Yes I understand that, but like the castle sidewinder...that says 2s-3s as well yet there is a thread here that says they run on 4S....
I think I see what you're referring to but I would say a Castle Sidewinder =/= HW 1080. The Castle ESC also require you to use old firmware and the 1080 of course doesn't have anything like Castle Link. While it does have a max of 9 cell NiMh which is more than a 3S, it could have some protection where it won't arm from 4S, or it could just release the magic pixie dust soon after you plug one in.

What can you do with a Castle link that you can't do with the hobbywing programing card?

I was using it as an example. It's like overclocking with computers...you can run cpu Northridge ram etc completely overspec...some cope some don't.. .usually there is always someone who is pushing the limits of stuff...
