So can you run it with the regular backwards trigger or is it full time button to reverse?
Can run it regular for sure. 4 throttle modes to choose from
Looks like a great new option. I really like the bec being 8.4v capable. My 1080 and fusion pro have worked great for me, I imagine the g2 will be just as durable. Really hope Hobbywing releases a esc for micro crawlers. There needs to be more good reliable options for the 18/24 scales.
What great news and awesome way to kick off the new year and new season!!
Rrrrright? There's enough bad news in this world so I'll gladly deliver good news. :)
1080s are truly fantastic. I use them in my tamiya on road cars and in my offroad buggy. Great in all roles. The programming lets you dial them in to nearly any brushed vehicle's needs. They are my goto esc since your initial positive review of them. In a sea of garbage product quality these days, it's nice to see and celebrate an affordable, quality item.
Thanks.
Cheers.
I like that drag brake setup!
Just found your channel, had no idea there were good brushed options out there! Thanks for this in depth video 3:00
The 1080 gets better, if that's possible! I know we talk about this esc in our crawlers but it's a great esc for just about any brushed application, which is why the fan is such a welcome addition. 👍
Awesome and informative video as always, thank you Francis!
Love what you do dude. You're my go to if i need to know something... keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
Wow! this is going to be awesome for our trailing we do. it sounds funny but your finger does get tired when you have to give it input even when you are going slow as you are walking. I cant wait to try the in our trail rigs AND in our smt10's! being able to freestyle and race with the same set up quickly will be awesome!
Most definitely. I've been trail crawling for miles this week and I'll take any aid I can get. That adjustable drag brake will be cool for varying terrain.
Very good review and happy new year to you
Great video as always!
Wow the best just got better. Thanks for posting SIR 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼👍🏼
You bet
I like the idea of real drive mode. Reminds me of running nitros with reverse.
I was going to get a G2 but got the 1800Kv Fusion instead. It just makes more sense.
Just got mine in the mail a few hours ago.
Nice demo. I will replace my older 1080 that’s in my scx10.3 since it has the hv servo with the new and put my older one in my knightrunner. Cool.
Great point. If you have an 8.4v capable servo, it's like a key upgrade. I'll test 8.4v with all my receivers and see if it's fine. I know all Radiolink and Flysky receivers are ok with it.
Cool I'll try this on my XV-01 lol. Need brushed tunability.
I just installed a Hobbywing 555 13 T 5 slot motor and 1080 g2 ESC in my Vanquish Phoenix. Both fit perfectly no cutting, no grinding. Thanks 👍
Very cool. I thought for sure you were going to tell us all it's 4s capable!!
No 4s. The motors can't take that anyway.
This is a great test review video.
Thank you. This took a while to explain and demo easily.
I built a real driving mode my own years ago. Once you are used to it its pretty cool to drive.
If you can pair it with break and reverse lights you get a very realistic behaviour on those lights.
Oh man, pair with Reverse lights... now you're talking.
This doesn't make sense in all vehicles but in some of my scale vehicles... heck ya. Adds to the realism.
@@RCReviewChannel i should take the time to make a video of it .... :D
I have my drag brake setup like that on my mamba x, I love it like that
A very good review and explanation.
Thank you kindly!
Great insight Francess ,I couldnt agree more with everything you said, what an amazing inexpensive upgrade to the best brushed esc on the market !! the Real driving mode is Hillarious I can see a few crawlers launching into a river off a cliff etc before years end if they try that mode but what a cool feature HA HA 🤣 Happy New Year
Haha... good thing the real-mode driving is fully optional only :)
@RC Review ye" for sure lol 😂
Great review as always! FYI the Amazon 35kg servos can handle 3s...I've modded one one for direct power 3s and have quite a few packs run through it without any issues.... extremely fast, crazy torque. pretty surprised how good those servos are. I've got a couple videos up on my channel detailing the hack.
I don't think they're taking 3S. That's 12.8v and only the case if the servo is wired directly to battery. What's likely happening is the ESC converts the power to a lower voltage, usually 6.0v or 7.2v and the 35kg servo uses that.
@@RCReviewChannel reread my comment there a little closer that's exactly what I said. I've direct powered a 35 kg servo to run off of 3s by bypassing the speed control just like you direct wire any servo. Anyway I've modded one of my 35 kg servo to run off of direct power 3s and it is holding up nice and strong. I've got a couple videos posted on my channel if you'd like proof that it can be done without any real trouble to the servo at this point... like I said five packs through the servo it's not very many but it's plenty to have a baseline test... so check it out...3s =11.1 volts or fully charged is 12.5
@@RCReviewChannel it's also quite easy to do and I know you've got several of those servos kicking around you might as well give it a shot for yourself and see what the results are Cheers
Sweet deal. I love this ESC. Cheers
Sooooo good.
nice esc combo
Rrrrright?
Think it’s going to struggle on the market against the new fusion SE they’ve released 🤷♂️ Big fan off the 1080 with Holmes 35T but cost wise the SE is cheaper and although you can’t adjust punch on the SE everything else is there. Still big up Hobbywing for giving us so man6 great options
Yes I agree they should’ve made it capable take 4s! 😊esp way all these direct power servos! 😊
this is amazing! :O
thank you.
Knowing how Hobbywing work will we start to see the V1 in some RTR vehicles which I don't think they have done so far
Hope Hobbywing implement this features on the next Fusion gen
I just installed this 1080 g2 on my redcat gen9 on the rtr channel 5 because ch5 is a knob under the flip cover.
Awesome 👍😎
Such good news.
I bought 2 of the 7 channel Radiolink controlers. Designing a 2ft RC Recreation of my brothers boat. And I am designing a 1/10th scale road/race car design in the pipeline. I am doing my research on parts, now. I wonder if this ESC is waterproof? I might use the HobbyWing Fusion Pro motor combo in the boat. And the Zoskay 35kg pro servo for the steering. I know this is going to be slightly over the top for a boat. I am going to add a Sound kit for horn and Dessel sounds and a motor set up to run the Radar Dish. Plus adding running lights plus maybe a LED for main deck cabin lighting. It would be nice for a short video on if this motor combo works with the RadioLink controller and how to install the motor to the transmitter. And configuring the radio?
One question. When tou brake and release and brake again does the brake works?
What i want to know is, if in a downhill i can control descend just by the brake alone without drag brake.
Thanks
What brand receiver would you recommend for this one if using the drag brake and real drive? I’m planning on getting a 4ws Capra and swapping to a flysky. I’d like my rear steer on a knob.
I think I really wanna try this and a 5 slot motor... on 3S... what can you say about some of the motors out right now, like 12t 5 slot, or the 550 can sized ones even? On my radar are the Tekin and Reedy motors.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Very useful information, i am a beginner in rc world, and i've a question related to brushed esc, battery and brushed motor. whether the number of cells in the battery can cause a short circuit on the esc ? Previously I used HW 1080 with a 5 slot 20T bruahed motor, the battery I used was 3S 5200 mah, at first it went well, but then the RC could not be moved, when I observed it, I found the esc was hot, end when i use 60A esc, the esc was lit and burn, can I get an explanation from a any of you here regarding what I experienced. what caused it and how to prevent it from happening again in the future.
thank you so much for helping.
Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thanks! Now I need 1! Lol. Are you guys safe out there on the West coast with all the flooding?
West coast rain is insane. We are in halftime of an epic battle and we're getting hammered. Hillsides, coastal and river flood zones are in grave danger. Luckily i'm in suburbia.
How much voltage does the stock TQ receiver in the trx4 handle? Hate to bump up the voltage and blow the receiver.
Hi, I just bought the 1080 G2, since it does not come with the program card, I'd have to buy it separately, however I cannot seem to find the program card specifically made for QUICRUN brushed (the one with the red label), even on hobbywing website
I only can find the one with the blue label (product number 30501003), which says it is mainly for brushless ESCs, according to the manual.
Does the blue program card work with the 1080 G2?
I use the 1080 in my tamiya globe liner semi
What do the yellow and white wire do? Where on the receiver do they plug in?
Would the 1080 G2 with the 13turn motor be a good replacement for my traxxas stampedes stock setup? Thanks guys
any tips for make those tire & velg stable bruh? mine was not stable even reassemble.. thanks before
Had an issue with my 1080 g2. Installed it along with a 20t hakmoto, and the wheel speed is so slow, and weak it doesn't want to move hardly over any rocks. Running a 2s 35c if that helps with diag? Plz help me figure this out🤣
Francis, my son somehow broke the stock esc on his TRX4 79 Bronco which is box stock other than some proline tires. What would be a good motor to pair with this?
Can you cut and shorten the wires to crimp on new connectors
Could I run this on a drift car? I have an old brushed HPI Sprint 2 that I wanted to get going on some lipos I already own. Was thinking of getting this as a cheap upgrade to get it running w out having to buy a new motor too. Thoughts?
What are the 3 pins for on the top of the G2. I will take one of the programmers if your drawer is getting full
Would this be good for stock brushed tamiya TT02
Perfect
Does everything the old one did and adds some cool new upgrades and features.
@@RCReviewChannel awesome can't wait to try one
So the old program card of 1080 can be used on 1080 g2?
I prefer active drag brake. A few of my ESCs have it unlike the 1080.
I can’t figure out why mine isn’t beeping, please help. I’ve switched motor wires, ensured the plug is in receiver properly, followed the instructions over and over again, reset esc. Couldn’t find other info on what else to try and I’ve read heaps of threads on rc forums. Please help
Canu run that with a factory trx4 transmitter and radio ? Running a 11.1 v
How do I change to 8.4 on the servo
Hi what is motor limit on these on 3s please does it run ok 14t gorgon with these
so it still doesnt do what the ISDT ESC70 can do.... cant adjust throttle or break curve and isnt bluetooth
Give me the program card any time. The reason why I'll never buy the ISDT
Can you tell me the settings for 1080g2?
I got the older version of the 1080 and it won’t calibrate reverse . Tried the reverse polarity . Set the radio to the settings it recommends . No luck. I’m not impressed with the product. The radio is a flysky gt3c.
Can it handle 12t 3slot 3s or 10t 3slot 3s
Did you do a crawler settings video on this esc? I couldnt find it
I'll create a new video
@@RCReviewChannel Thank you!
what size fan fits ?
Hello will you make a video about the hobbywing fusion se 1800kv
Yes, definitely. They're sending me one asap.
hey francis,so do you think the isdt70 better then the v1 1080 esc or v2 1080 esc?..your spot on if you have a v1 1080 no need to upgrade to the v2 1080 esc unless you really want one,but if your getting a kit or an artr paying the extar 7 $ bucks is worth going v2 over the v1,i been a 1080esc guy since i was introduced to them and there the best bang for your buck esc especially with all the options with the free program card and regarding the isdt70 i just think spending the extra 15$ is worth it bc your getting a proven hobbywing product and you dont have to deal with bugs in your app while your updating your isdt70 esc..happy belated new years as well
No, the ISDT70 is better. Better price, better adjustment and Bluetooth.
@@SnarkyRC helllllllllllll no......app sucks.....glitchy glitchy glitchy....re start update..to many headaches..ill pay the extra 10 bucks all day for the reliable 1080esc..and will pay the 43$ for the v2 1080 as well..but the v1 will spank that rubbish....those make good one way boomarangs tho on th trail...i seen a few fly and never come back bc they just was bum juice.....and i love a budget brother..but not everything cheaper is better my rc brother
Will the throttle and reverse still wok the old tried and tested way, I’m not interested in the new reverse set up .
For sure, yes. There are four modes of throttle available. Crawler reverse is the default where it's forward, then instant reverse.
I love HW products and the 1080 was already rock solid but unless they drop the price to $30 at a minimum I won’t even consider this. The Fusion SE is only $70 and the ISDT ESC70 for $25 dollars runs as good or better than the 1080 in my opinion for brushed motors.
Yeah the isdt 70 is my favorite brushed esc. Able to see temp and set everything from my phone is a great option
It's a great esc to upgrade a rtr but if your building a kit or custom build the fusion se 1800kv at $70 is un matched for price and performance also the pro is a great option at the cost for a good Brushed system.
OMG yes. I'm reviewing that next.
Ya I doubt that se survives throughout water and mud like a good old sealed unit . I burnt out brand new 6000kv 2in 1 combo little puddle 80 bucks down the drain
@paulclancy2404 I don't build my crawlers for mud or water since most of my rigs run the yellow jacket motor and Silent Assassin esc. That being said I have occasionally hit water and some mud with no problems so far. I have a couple of people i crawl with that have the 1800kv and have fully submerged their rig in water and always run in mud with no issues.
@@Loomis_Fishin they must make them good . silicone the circuit board to waterproof it or something. The motoresc combo I have probably wasnt meant to get wet in fairness. I'm not much a crawler but I do I have a couple . No where really to crawl , I put John Holmes. Motors in them with this esc for 22 bucks the motor was a beast I did eventually burn it up pushing coffee table around lol. My crawlers clean too I was thinking making mud truck but trx really on good crawler for that .
@paulclancy2404 I do need to waterproof my setup one day before i mess something up. I agree with Brushed system, I have a 1080 with the hh expert 13t and it's a beast of a setup i'm just saying price wise for crawling the fusion
fusion hands down
down but bashing around and mud Brushed.
Dear, I'd like to buy a Hobbywing 1080 G2 ESC for my rock crawler RTR, but I only have a 2-channel remote control, which is the best one to combine with this ESC (a Flysky)?
Thanks!!!
Your 2-channel remote will work fine with this ESC cause it will just replace the ESC your car already has.
But then, how can I use the options via the AUX channel?
Does anyone know what are those 1 wire servo leads coming out of it? 🤔
One wire controls the adjustable drag brake. The other wire controls the shift to Reverse mode. Both have to be connected to extra receiver channels if one wants to use them. Optional.
@@RCReviewChannel thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏
Will this work with Ni-MH batteries?
Also can this esc be used with non-digital transmitters? I have Futaba 4yf 4-channel.
Another question can you use 2 of these together?
What size cooling fan thanks
I'll measure asap.
would like to see the motor wires black in color instead of blue and yellow
Yeah, I don't know why they're not black and red. Maybe to match their brushless wire conventions.
Yeah have to say I’d rather have a 4s but then again I don’t really rubn brushed anymore
If this video still gets replies...
Any recommendation for an ESC that can run either two (or one and I'll just buy two) 24V 1500w (60A?) Motors?
It's nefarious project, involving the base of a mobility scooter.
Is it suitable for a basher?
For sure, yes. 3s, 550 brushed motors are no problem. It's got fan mounting holes too for higher demands
Just ordered one. 😂😂
You will be pleased.
Not sure I like the idea of giving up a channel for the drag brake.
Well it's an option, you don't have to.
I would have been just as happy with a 4s capable g1....
No 4s. Very few brushed 1/10 motors can do that.
@RC Review I use brxls and holmes motors with 4s every day. Brushes wear faster but for crawlers you aren't using much power 99% of the time
My 11t magnum v3 gspeed gshot probably has a million scale miles on 4s
Not bad for $50
It's better than all other ESC's no matter the price.
Hobbywing has made it difficult to buy this at $50 with their OWN Fusion SE in my opinion
Just got it on amazon for $48.00 after tax.
Amazon has it???? G2? Link please
only thing better than 1080 is another 1080 haha
Basically yeah.
They could’ve kept every other change and made it take 4s and I’d have been more interested.
4s... most motors can't handle that so it would lead to trouble.
I can't imagine how much stress that esc would be under with 4s power. I only run 2s in my cars
@@Logans_RCAdventures try 3s 😉
4s in a crawler? 🤣🤣🤣
4s for brushed Motor?
8.4v? Good. Variable drag on the fly? Good. Real driving reverse? Wtf? That is gimmicky as hell. Especially when physics take over, i.e. newton's law. You need to reverse quick to save the truck. Now, you have to " shift" into reverse. Plz tell me it will work as a normal esc as well.
For sure, there are now four modes of throttle operation, The other three are the tried and true. This fourth mode is just for scale driving.
Turning up the BEC to 8.4V will burn out the stock servo in your Redcat Marksman! I would advise you to do better research before you promote something that will damage other's equipment. I had the 1080 G2 for over a week now and love it but you are not promoting the 1080 G2 properly.
That is true. There's so many of these Amazon servos that can do 8.4v. But it seems the Annimos 25kg is not one of them.
The 8.4v is nice, the real driving nothing mind blowing at all. The 7.00 increase ? That's why I'm out
7 dollah make you hollah :)
Whats with the shaved eyebrows. lmao.
