Budget Friendly Sensored Brushless Setup & Install for RC Drift | (Hobbywing 10BL60 & 10.5T)
I am continually looking for ways to help folks get into RWD RC drifting - and one the biggest barriers to entry to COST. Folks really don't want to jump in with $1k-$2k setups in a part of the hobby they have never tried before.
With this in mind, I have picked up the cheapest sensored 10th scale ESC that hobbywing makes - the 10BL60 (amzn.to/3AJSmRp) and the cheapest, adjustable-timing, 10.5T motor on Amazon (amzn.to/3ISj0KP) all to see just how good they are.

I was just re-watching some older videos and reminded how much things have changed since this video. We now have the HW 10BL120 G2 with Boost and Turbo for $50 USD and the 10BL60 still brings in the budget end once again w no boost/turbo but with all the great stuff we need to drift. Its a cool time to be into drift!

LOL at your reaction at 6:57. My thoughts exactly! Some people have been sleeping on it, but I’m currently running it on 15 degrees timing with a Yokomo D1XT 13.5T motor/22T pinion with 25 degrees and it’s been great so far. It’s probably the cheapest electronic on my YD2S build, but like you said, it’s better to spend more on other electronics like the gyro and servo. I’m glad you tested this. Great vid!

[@dirtdevilrcmotorsports]

Some great information and from my standing some great proof. I always tell people to work on a budget, dont try to get what everyone else has, buy what you think will work. You don't need to have the top of the line, best of the best stuff to go out and have fun. I have 2 drifters the first is a Yokomo yd-2e with a Hobbyworks 60a esc and 3600 kv brushless uncensored motor ($150 australian) running with the stock spur gear and an 18t pinion and for me its a comfortable speed with enough power to have a crash with the best of them. My second is an MST RMX 2.0 Classic it has only been driven once with some ridiculous radio that has some issues but it has an older Hobbywing 35a esc with a 4000kv uncensored motor (approx $250 about 3 years ago) running a stock spur and a 22t pinion. Both of my cars are stock with no upgrades except for the turnbuckle kit for the MST which was needed to add some adjustability to the car, but as is typical of many of the people around me they always say my stuff is crap because its not the best of the best, top of the line, costing hundreds of $$$$ or running every possible upgrade or pretty piece. Its not about how much you spend, what your car looks like, what noises it makes its about having FUN and NOT going BROKE while doing it. Yes I would like some extra bits and pieces some new radios maybe a sensored setup for one of my cars but being unemployable, living fortnight to fortnight on unemployment makes it impossible to get them, so I share my theory of budget rc with everyone not through my youtube channel i just cover the action for now but in person when I talk to people. Dont let your hobby break you, play within your budget, buy the best you can afford and dont try to match it with people who have more $$$ than sense.

[@RoadsideRC]

I agree!!!! Next - I need to really bust this myth(?) on needing a sensored motor. It is certainly needed for timing adjustment + turbo and boost....but the MST RTR can get away without a sensored motor. Wonder if the rest of us can also....

[@dirtdevilrcmotorsports]

@@RoadsideRC I think they all could if people just geared them properly and if your esc is programmable the change its setup. YES good electronics help but they are not always needed as you have proved here cheap stuff works and can last just as long as expensive stuff. I love these sort of videos, they help point me in the right direction but also can make those spending all sorts of money on unnecessary stuff feel a little stupid.

[@hamsterwolf]

when I first put my d5 together all i had lying around was a traxxas slash brushed esc and motor combo lying around and i threw it in the d5 and it was completely driftable. that's how I figured out that guys were over spending like crazy on their esc and motors. i later switched to the quick run bl120 and the v3 rocket 10.5t and i am pretty happy with it. Would also like to mention that the 10.5t motor according to surpass is 3s capable so if you want that as an option the bl120 is the way you wanna go for esc and its like 10 bucks more or when on sale the same price.

[@RoadsideRC]

Not sure about the 60 but the 10bl120 (£38 in the uk) has adjustable timing, it feels identical to the Toro120 at less than half the price. My D5, 10bl120 and speedpassion 10.5 (£37 in uk) hangs with absolutely anyone. I just cannot understand why anyone would spend any more? You get much much higher performance by learning to drive lmao.

[@RobynTapps]

Yeah i went with the same setup albeit a 10BL120, that 10.5T motor can suck 62A... just a heads up for anyone looking to replicate this. Using the 120A will keep the esc cool in low air movment conditions as the esc will never even feel the current the motor is asking for.

[@RoadsideRC]

You are right, the 120 is more than capable for it.

[@robinkesterlives]

I'm using the 120 as well, had the Rocket v3 and neither got warm fanless. I run the D10 now, fanless off the 120 and it works a champ for indoor sessions. I did let the magic smoke out of my first 120 after the battery plug tagged the fan header on the being removed one day, but I went w a second 120 because I liked it well enough to do so.

[@thorhammerr7664]

Have you had any issues running that 10.5 turn motor with that escape over the last 6 months ?. Does the motor overload the escape at all seeing that it states nothing lower than 13.5 turns on 2 cell lipo ?. And do you think that combo would work for an off-road four-wheel drive buggy 1/10 scale ?.

[@RoadsideRC]

I have had no issues with it. However, I also don't think it would be a good setup for 4WD.

[@RoadsideRC]

There are a lot of options out there if you keep looking!

[@WhiskeyRunnerOne]

Troy, it might be worth mentioning that this will not work on Sakura D5 or other cars that require CW for forward. When running sensored, the 10BL120 is only meant to be run counter clockwise for forward. There is no way to change CW/CCW in the esc settings. The Sakura requires clockwise for forward. When running sensored the manual for the 10BL120 states that you cannot switch the A,B, and C wires to physically change the direction of the motor. Calibration of the ESC only sets end points. Changing the channel to reverse on the transmitter only limits the max reverse force or in this case, forward force. I would assume this applies to the 10BL60 as well. I hope this is useful for others. If running a Sakura you need an ESC that is capable of switching CW/CCW in the ESC programming.

[@RoadsideRC]

The car in the video...is a Sakura D5.

[@WhiskeyRunnerOne]

@@RoadsideRC Maybe D5 MR is different? That’s what I installed on. I used the same motor in the video as well.

Do you need all that power. Cos i wana build a tamiya tt02 rwd for drift. And the japanese are drifting the tamiyas with silver can brushed motors

[@RoadsideRC]

Power is not really what we are after. These cars don't need power - they need wheelspeed in certain situations. I still run brushed in the Yokomo RTR car - just to prove the point you bring up. The best setups are the brushless sensored setups that allow turbo and boost and more programmable throttle curves. A brushed setup will work, but will be sub-par. I certainly wouldn't go into and spend money buying a brushed setup.

[@fab_cab]

@@RoadsideRC and thats a pretty good and clear explanation. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I have alot of brushed stuff and also brushless. Start touring club racing this year.

You will need to match the gear pitch (distance between the teeth) to the spur gear. It is a 32p gear, if I remember correctly. Something like this: amzn.to/446tBMI Then, you test the different gear ratios based on the size of the track you are driving on.

When I change channel two to reverse it becomes normal, I accelerate and it goes forward and I press to go backwards and it goes backwards, but the issue of having more strength in reverse remains! Would it be an option to invert the esc wires that go to the motor in the order A - C, C-A?

[@dawber2111]

can you do a video with this motor with a bl120?

[@RoadsideRC]

I would need to get a BL120. Don't have one right now. Doubt there would be a lot of difference. Should be like you see here, with just a little more power...

[@dawber2111]

@@RoadsideRC think the extra amps would make it betting in higher rpm with less timing?

[@RoadsideRC]

@dawber2111 The RPM is determined by the voltage, not the amperage. The amperage may help it get to max RPM faster, but that is it. Honestly, so much of drifting is small throttle movements that I doubt it will be a big change.

What would my de my reason for my reverse being much faster than when I drive forward

[@RoadsideRC]

Either 1) you need to recalibrate the esc to the controller 2) the rotation needs to be reversed in the ESC (assuming you are running sensored).

[@PXCURSOS]

How important is the sensor in drift? Or is it not that important to drift without a sensor?

[@RoadsideRC]

The sensor is what allows you to trigger turbo and boost, and also really helps smooth power delivery. When possible, I highly recommend it.

[@PXCURSOS]

@@RoadsideRC My esc doesn't have turbo or boost. So I don't think the sensor will be missed that much.

Where u from ? And do you have a local drift track?

[@RoadsideRC]

I am in TN. Our local track is currently Music City RC.

[@louismartineau1596]

My son has been bashing a cheap hbx16889 and was really curious about drifting. My local shop has 2 tracks you can rent out 25$/h with their cars but the shop owner doesn't want young kids to try it out.. I have to admit that the drifting community seems pretty elitist to me and not very inclusive for what started as a business for kids no? Anyways I enjoy your videos and maybe it will be a solution to my budget considerations.. initially saw your recommendation for gyro/ESC/etc and every single piece was the price of a small 1/16 basher it was a bit discouraging.. but that might be a good foot in.. Also since my son can't try or practice at the track.. he'll have to try at home and actually spend some $$

[@RoadsideRC]

Hi there Louis, Yes - some tracks are very protective. They have been burned too many times by folks tearing the place up...but unfortunately that puts in a barrier for new folks to learn! Honestly, the best way to get started with RWD drifting is either the MST or Yokomo RTR cars. MST: www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=el&merchant_id=4b85b2b7-558e-4304-89fc-54958c8f47f0&website_id=caf4cba5-8e5f-43be-93b7-934f1a36d50d&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amainhobbies.com%2Fmst-rmx-2.0-1-10-2wd-brushless-rtr-drift-car-w-a90rb-body-red-mxs-533822r%2Fp1403117 Yokomo: www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=el&merchant_id=4b85b2b7-558e-4304-89fc-54958c8f47f0&website_id=caf4cba5-8e5f-43be-93b7-934f1a36d50d&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amainhobbies.com%2Fyokomo-yd2-1-10-2wd-rtr-drift-car-w-supra-body-white-yokdp-yd2rtrw%2Fp1433931 The MST is better straight out of the box. The Yokomo is better long-term. If your son really enjoys drifting, then he has a solid platform to put upgrades onto. If your son does not enjoy drifting, then you will be able to re-sale the car for most of the original purchase price (assuming it is in good shape). If you have other questions, feel free to ask.

I've ran the 10bl60 for awhile now with the quickrun 10.5 motor on stock settings, looking into bumping up the timing now it has me worried from the directions. Is it safe to bump it up to the same timing as you did without over heating or maybe something else going wrong? I run in the garage and p-tile.

[@RoadsideRC]

Go for it. My motors rarely get too hot. Just try it, and turn it back if it gets too hot.

Hey Troy i have a d5 belt drive im having motor direction problem how do you reverse a brushless motor

[@RoadsideRC]

If youbare running sensored - you must do it in the ESC programming. If you are doing it unsensored, then swap any two wires on the motor
