After my CC Sidewinder V2 died (lost a phase due to water, liquid electrical tape, or otherwise). I figured I'd give the HobbyWing QuicRun WP-10BL60.
Things I wanted & the good:
Waterproof
Non-sensored
Adjustable (best done with a program card)
4mm female bullets installed on motor leads
Inexpensive $48 shipped
The bad:
No battery connector just wires
Clunky switch design
No solder posts
3s Lipo max
My setup is a 6pole helli motor 2830 1000kv sized in a Tamiya CR-01 on a 3s 4000mAh pack with a 20t pinion.
Personal setup:
FWD/REV
0% drag brake
Voltage cut off 3.2v per cell
Start mode #5
100% brakes
75% reverse
Neutral Range 6% (narrow)
Timing - 0 deg
Temp protection - on
Impressions:
Smooth & it just works. The CC Sidewinder had a funny step between startup & running (start power high).
The fan is a little noisy, but after an hour I unplugged it & finished the trail with no fan to see how it holds, worked fine.
The Programming card (car ESC V2.0) was separate & cost $12 and works with a lot of HobbyWing ESCs.
The Neutral Range 9% (normal) is too wide & there was a huge pause from forward to reverse & vice versa 6% is much better...
The BEC is rated 6v 2amps, I only have one servo on the chassis (177oz) and it drives that fine.
For my water forging trail trucks I have had too many issues with sensored motors getting "funny" once wet & simple is better.
The 2830 motor has more torque than I could ask for.
I'll be testing it more soon but first impressions are promising.
