I just installed a Hobbywing 1080 g2 esc and 555 13t 5 slot motor in my Vanquish Phoenix. Both fit perfectly. No cutting, No grinding required. Thanks 👍

[@bobzilla9p0]

Thanks for continuously innovating! I am definitely picking 2 of these up, but I don't think I'll ever use the "real driving mode" it has no performance benefit for me and my crawlers, and would be confusing at times. In crawling many times I need instant reverse to stop a roll over and this would inhibit that ability. I can see certain racing type RC's maybe taking advantage of it.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

A couple of really good/practical changes and, if pricing remains the same, these will continue flying off the shelves! However, I would never use real driving mode in a crawler, I want instant reverse to get out of jams.

[@RCOffRoad76]

Yeah I wouldn't use it for a hard core rock crawler but for a scale trail truck it could cool and add to the scaleness factor

[@Love2Wander]

Running a 1080 g2 in my Capra runs so much better. Just one thing where can I get Hobbywing stickers?

[@edwincordero8]

Hi. Can I use the programming port to power the Traxxas Power module for led lights?

[@danielbargas3377]

Well those things sold out about instantly and I’m guessing they won’t be just $42 when they are stocked again

[@mikehuber861]

This one come with cooling fan

[@allyoucando8486]

4s capable that will be amazing, but for those they to do that you need to go high turn motor

[@satriyodirikamulyan1085]

is there any special limitation when using 3s battery ? Or plug and play ?

[@HOBBYWINGOfficial]

Hello, Should have no problems on 3s. Most use this setup as a 3s ESC in crawling.

[@RTmadnesstoo]

Did you say the BEC was 4A? I read that it was 6A now.

[@Egor-qe9jr]

6A is a peak current. 4A continuous

[@PhilBender612]

I have a feeling they're not gonna be around $40 any more, lol That was the main draw to the 1080 for me, I own 4 of them because they were awesome brushed ESCs and pretty inexpensive. I haven't found the price of the new G2 yet.

[@mikehuber861]

What size cooling fan fits

[@zacf85]

I tried a 25mm HW fan and was to large, so maybe a 20mm?
