  • After watching a couple hateful reviews on the ESC70, I felt obligated to do a bit of a review myself. Since I’ve had nothing but good luck with these esc’s for the last year, I had to at least put my two cents in. This is a long rant filled video, so I don’t imagine many people will make it through to the end. Regardless, I hope this is at least somewhat helpful. If you’ve got any questions or want to see something I may have missed, leave a comment and I’ll do my best to answer. Thanks for watching.

    New to your channel, voice sounds awesome, like the dj from super sounds of the 70s in reservoir dogs.
    ESC 70 worked fine for me and was super smooth compared to rtr units. It does seem to be hit and miss for some people.
    The curves and pwm control are super useful.
    They've released the esc90 now....
    I think it's important to get the message out that rc crawling doesn't have to cost a lot of money and you can have plenty fun on a budget. Products like the esc70 definitely help.
    Loved the spinning rock intro, hilarious 😂
    I really enjoy Mr Canyons channel, it's a shame he did not get on well with 70, he did give it a fair go as well but oh well, were all just playing with toy trucks so it doesn't really matter.
    Liked, subbed.

      Thanks, much appreciated! I’ll stand behind the ESC70 100%, I’ve had far better luck with it than I have with the 1080. Actually about to upload another video comparing the two in my Basecamp. It’s not even close, when it comes to the overall performance, as far as my personal preference on handling goes. As far as Crawler Canyon goes… I have been watching his videos for a couple years now, haven’t agreed with everything, but didn’t have any complaints. Solid content. However, the last two “reviews” of the ESC70 were complete bias bs. I don’t expect him to convert everything to ISD, he is a Hobbywing guy through and through and I’ve got zero issue with that. My issue with this whole ordeal is that he has got a fairly large following of people who seem to take his word as gospel, which means when he fudges a “review” he is actually steering people away from an otherwise great product. Especially people who may be new to the hobby and/or don’t want to drop a bunch of money on parts, and now they will completely avoid a product that is cheaper and potentially performs better. That is what got my blood boiling a bit. Now I’m no saint, but I won’t mislead anyone who is listening for advice. I’ve always been of a mindset that, the bigger this hobby grows… the better it’ll be for everyone. So I do my best to show the true performance of the products I run, and let the parts speak for themselves. Hopefully that comes through in my videos as intended.

      I’ll definitely share whatever happens when I end up with the 90. It probably won’t be real soon though as I’m working on a couple brushless rigs at the moment, but the next time I dive into another brushed build, that’s gonna be what I go with for sure.

      Yea, I’ve still got both of them in rigs currently. No issues. I still very much prefer the ESC70 when I’m running a brushed setup. Until someone comes out with something new, at a similar price point, that gives all the options for tuneablility that these do… I’ll continue to run these.

    Bro!!!! You should do voice overs more! Like hearing you talk about stuff. Maybe like a 50/50 . Anyhow really enjoyed seeing a review on this with someone who understands throttle curves and using a app. Running fpv I love using the speedybee Bluetooth app! Esc looks great with someone who knows how to use it. Gate keeper is coming along very nice to bro

      Thanks. Yea, I don’t know how or why these esc’s get such a bad rep. It took some fiddling with at first to figure things out, but after that everything has been great. In some situations, I absolutely believe that this esc is a better option, but not everyone is in the same boat here. If I’ve had a good experience with any product, I’ll stand behind it 100%! If not, I’ll speak up on it, but if I hear that it’s been improved down the road… I’ll give it another shot with an open mind right from the start. Especially with something that’s got this many potential benefits and programmable parameters.

      I honestly don’t have a clue about the update situation, I’ve never had any of the issues other people have, so I’ve never done any digging to see if you can actually update anything through the app or not. I’ve got to assume, from what I’ve seen in other videos, ya get whatever ya get. But the next time I get this rig fired up, I’ll get in there and do some digging and see what I can figure out. Never even thought about looking for any updates, when it comes to technology, I’ve always been of the mindset “if it ain’t broke… don’t fix it.” I’ll see what I can figure out, and I’ll get back to ya on that.

    Hi from across the pond. I'm at 7 of the esc70 so far, had one failure, went haywire switching off and on. I can buy 3 of these for less than the price of a 1080 in the UK. Not had a single problem setting them up, throttle curve is fantastic and low speed modulation is awesome. The jitter that you get on yours is easy to get rid of, all you have to do is back off the drag brake one level at a time until it no longer does it. I have found that getting this set right makes no difference to the effectiveness of the drag brake, it just stops the jitter.

    • @DRZ-RC

      Yea, currently I’ve got 4-ESC70’s and 1- ESC90 and I’ve got zero issues with any of them. I’ve actually acquired another ESC70 that another UA-camr has reviewed more than once and swore it was garbage… however, after setting it up properly, it works great. I’ll have a video on that whole thing once it uploads. The ESC70 is hands down my favorite brushed speed controller.

      @DRZ-RC  Рік тому +1

      That sucks. I’ve not had any issues with any of mine. They’ve been ran hard and put away wet, literally, for a solid year and still working great. I definitely prefer these over the 1080 enough that if one or all burn up, I’ll just buy more.

      Yea, I’ve had awesome luck with them so far. Definitely my “go to” brushed esc now. I just got that exact ESC70 that Crawler Canyon was having issues with, ended up paying shipping just to have him send it to me. So I’ll be doing a video pulling it out of the package and seeing exactly how he had it set up… then I’ll set it up how I do all the others and see if it works, or if he was just one of the unlucky few to get a junk esc. Either way, it should make for a good video.

      Heck yea! Totally agree, if Hobbywing would give us the same programming options that Castle and ISDT do, they would probably be top dog in the game… but the lack of tuning options keeps me going with the ESC70 and now the ESC90 as well for my brushed setups.
