Hobbywing XeRun XR10 Stock Spec – Full details

Following first teaser images and brief information, Hobbywing have now officially revealed the XeRun XR10 Stock Spec brushless speed controller. Housed in a black anodised aluminium case with incorporated heatsink the purpose-designed stock class controller is of smaller dimensions than the popular XR10 Pro 160A controller. With a footprint of 31.5×25.6mm and a weight of 28g without wires the speedo makes it easier to place it in crowded environments. Despite the smaller size the controller boasts with a lot of features such as a high-voltage 7.4V BEC system, an 80A rating and it sports a patent pending dual switch design with the internal electronic switch is backed by an additional one that attaches to the rear part of the case, making for easier handling when the car’s body is already installed or when the internal switch is hard to reach. On the software side of things the XR10 Stock Spec is packed with a special firmware that includes pre-configured stock racing profiles for on-road and off-road, it features adjustable throttle and brake PWM frequency settings and the ESC is adjustable using Hobbywing’s WiFi Express module and a mobile device and also using Hobbywing’s LCD programming box.

Hobbywing EzRun Max10 ESC & 36xx sensorless motors

Hobbywing have introduced the new EzRun Max10 sensorless brushless speed controller and the EzRun 3652 and 3660 G2 sensorless brushless motors. Starting with the controller, designed for bashers and fun racing, the Max10 utilises a range of protection features such as ESC capacitor thermal, water and also over temperature protection for the motor – the latter is taken care off by an additional wire that plugs right into motors such as the new EzRun 36xx G2 series. Furthermore the controller makes use of a heavy duty 6V/7.4V BEC system andit sports a protected on/off switch to ensure reliability even in dusty conditions. The 3S LiPo-compatible speedo can be adjusted using the internal set button but also HW’s LED and LCD program box as well as the WiFi module.

Hobbywing Xerun 42-series SD G2 brushless motors

Available soon from Hobbywing are the all-new Xerun 4268SD G2 and 4274SD G2 1/8th scale brushless motors. Designed especially for the use with the Xerun XR8 and XR8 Plus brushless controller, but also usable with the sensored speed controllers of other brands, the motors feature a built-in chip that allows the speedo to identify the motor in order to maximise the performance while allowing for smoother overall control. Also in combination with Hobbywing’s own controllers Turbo functions as known from the 1/10th scale boosted ESCs are possible in order to extract the maximum performance from the motor. The 4-pole motor is housed in a black anodised aluminium heatsink case with bi-directional timing adjustments, allowing to fine-tune the timing independent from the direction of rotation. Other features include an advanced, patented hall senor system for improved reliability, a 4-pole 8-magnet staggered pole low-cogging torque rotor as well as an O-ring sealed sensor port and gold-plated solder tabs. The 68mm long 4268SD G2 motor is available as 1600kv, 1900kv and 2600kv variant for off-road and on-road applications as well as longer 74mm version with 2250kv rating for off-road trucks.
