Hobbywing QuicRun Waterproof 1080 G2 Brushed Crawling ESC (2-3S)

It's a HW 1080, so you probably already know it's good if you've seen the internet at all. On this G2 I don't find the car mode to be anything special, so what seems to be the big selling point is moot for me. Basically adds on-the-fly motor rotation swap and drag brake adjustment. But I wasn't really interested in that anyway. The big difference for me is that the G2 has bolt holes for a 25mm fan to mount to it. HOOOOOOOO dawgy I love me a nice fan mount. Otherwise it seems the same as a 1080. Very smooth low end control for a brushed motor. I'm testing this with the RTR Vanquish motor, it was a big improvement from the 1060 it came with.

If you already have a hobbywing program card, I'd say might as well get this G2 version for the fan mount and the updates they say are in this one that helps it run more efficiently (this doesn't come with a program card). If you don't have the card, I'd get the OG 1080 that comes with. The fan is nice if you run in a really hot area, but doesn't seem necessary in mild weather. And you can always just zip tie a fan to the 1080 heat sink if you need to.

Nice esc if your running brushed this is the one to go with.

After reading and seeing a ton of good reviews on this I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I had trouble with mine glitching from the get go. I tried everything to get it to work correctly. Luckily, as always A main support was able to provide top notch service as always to keep a customer happy. Thank you A main for having the best service and staff.

Bummer is your need the program card and its hard to set up as drag brake is way too powerfull .
It also slams into reverse ??
May be old school but lets make it more user friendly

Great esc. not just for crawling. this will work great in any 540 or 550 brushed setup. (check motor turn limit). I have ran 15 turn at 3s with no problems.
