Ooh, thats the 30amp version of the 20amp one I'm using. Its red in the 20amp version, but id recognize it anywhere. Yes, these work great. Theyre advertised for crawling, and they'll say they have brake and reverse, and they're just perfect for the stock motor. Also I find that a good silicon oil on all the bearings and gears makes the car much smoother to accelerate.
Beaver recommended this esc to me, as my q7 steering broke. Im new Using fs-gt3c, with exponential & dual rate u can get precision steering. Forward & reverse is similar with throttle range & accuracy. Yes i done everything beaver did. "Bangood u sent wrong one" then i seen v2.0 & wondered, beaver confirmed it was new version. Its a really good esc. UNLIKE FACTORY SINOHOBBY. Beaver's trq3 blew up at start of review & my mini q7 steering blew up. Im seeing a pattern with sinohobby's all in one esc
Why was the older version ESC rubbish? I have a few of these and now I feel like I should check the version on the PCB? One which is installed seems particularly slow but it could certainly be something else in the setup like radio endpoints.
The older version doesn't have low rev or you can't modulate to run it slowly. Hence, no precision drifting. The response is also delayed. I pull the trigger and wait for some time until it starts to do something. This looks slow because I only touch the throttle to show you it can run the car slowly, which nearly none of ESC this size can. Also there's a wall immediately out of the camera and I don't want to destroy my car. If you see I pull the full trigger you'll know that it can run at full speed as well.
Only trim. But if you got it at 0 trim it should detect the throttle without any trouble. Otherwise your radio isn't compatible with this (I got this problem with Spektrum receiver).
Hi! I got WLtoys K989 with a new transmitter (with a display)And there is a delay between the moment you press the throttle and the moment the car starts moving. What can be the case? Thanks in advance.
Check if the drivetrain is sticky because that will delay your acceleration. Here's the tutorial. ruclips.net/video/TnhriaSSfSA/видео.html If the drivetrain is free but it's still delay then I think it's how the new version works now and that's unfortunate.
Hi beaver, I bought this esc for my wltoys k989, I reversed the pole cables, but now I have the problem that the brake is in the direction of the accelerator, how can I solve it? Thanks
Same as the other stuffs, check the functionality first then direction later. So in your case you'll have to reverse the throttle channel on the transmitter. So you can go forward-brake-reverse. Then if the direction is wrong you can swap the motor wire.
@@BeaversHobby Thanks for the answer, I have already inverted the cables on the engine, because they come back and backward, they were wrong, I reverse the cables, and now go in the right direction direction, but the brake works in the sense of acceleration, I will try to replace the wires and see if I can go from the radio remote to make reverse, thank you I'm upgrading.

Quicrun 1625 is way better than this. It's smoother and it has low voltage cutoff. The only trouble is that Qucirun is much bigger than this. If you have a space for Quicrun, just use it instead of this.
For brushed ESC there are 2 choices, Hobbywing Quicrun 1625 or Furitek Momentum. Hobbywing is a bit big but you can make it fit inside. Furitek Momentum is really good, small, programmable via bluetooth, also supports brushless but it's way too expensive for a regular hobbyist.
Alternatively could I use the 30a ESC without LVC and set the RC4GS to alarm at a certain voltage? I don’t have the transmitter yet so not sure if it’s an option or how reliable it is. Thanks for your help.
@@jays604 Yes, that should work too. You will need to use the R7FG receiver in order to have the battery telemetry. I'm not sure how reliable it is but I'll test it for you.

Cut and solder JST-XH 2.5mm 2 pin on it. You can also solder the wires directly to the motor. If you don't have a soldering iron you can also strip the wires, bundle the wires from the ESC with wires from the motor and wrap them with electrical tape. That would be a temporary fix too.

You can find the replacement in Hobbyking. bit.ly/2MasAiy However I suggest you spend more for a far superior ESC from Atomic. bit.ly/2YFDHXJ Or you can find Hobbywing EZrun 18A and re-solder all the wires to make it smaller. That's another great ESC.
I really rate the atomic and the hobbywing18a , you can use the same programme card for both of them you just need the correct settings values, which you can download.
Does the throttle and brake work? Light sequence can differ between unit but if it works then there's nothing to worry about. Otherwise trim the throttle until it work.
I just bought 2 of them from amazon, but they came without brake function. One of the main difference between the one I have and yours is that capacitor, do you know what it's for?
Capacitor is for stabilising the input current. Sad to hear you got the boat version without brake. It's really hard to know whether the same type of board will have the same hardware on it or not.
@@BeaversHobby I see, mine doesn't have it. I also read another article where the brake function of the esc was disabled by jumping 2 pins on the board, I will see if I can make it work, as the place I bought it was only willing to refund me half, but I actually want a replacement. since I already got the RC4GS and R6FG a you suggested, just missing an esc since I don't want to go brushless yet.
Hi! Thanks for your videos! I have instaled this esc in mi 989 but, dont runs. I tried conect it in the channel 1 and the motor runs ok but it is controled by the steering , is it necesary any set up in the esc? Thanks
I wouldn't recommend those. Battery capacity is irrelevant, the problem is that it won't fit on the car and the weight will make the motor work too hard and burn out the motor + ESC. If you want to use those batteries I assume you have a bigger car and not this tiny, palm-size K989. A bigger ESC would be more suitable.
As small and good one is DumboRC 10A. You can find it in Aliexpress. It doesn't have cutoff but it has alarm. You'll need to install a small 5v buzzer for that and it'll beep when the battery is low.
@@BeaversHobby Looks like I can't source the jst xh plug locally, but they do have a female connector for a 2 pin lipo battery connector. Can I change the motor connector to that instead?
@@BeaversHobby I just got the esc xD what kind of buzzer should I solder to it? Is this one okay? shopee.com.my/product/6674515/415203464?smtt=0.69220659-1611003153.9
You can use the car without it. The lipo alarm is needed so you don't over discharge the battery and break it. As long as you are aware of how much battery you have and don't overdraw it beyond 3.2v per cell (6.4v overall) it will be alright. The easiest way to know is to use a lipo alarm. But if you don't have or don't want to use that, you can check the battery regularly with a multimeter.
No, the original one is integrated ESC with the receiver in one board so it's not possible. The original ESC is pretty good already though. Unless you burn it then you can find a receiver for the original transmitter and use it with this ESC, result not guarantee because original transmitter doesn't have channel reversing and might not work.
@@imp187 Already!? Not sure from which video you got the link but the latest one with speed test the ESC is too big for the car and you can't put the battery on properly.
Mine arrived - and there is no brake :( Have tested both ways incase it was a reversed channel - but it just goes from full forward to full reverse - and full reverse to full forwards, no braking at all have messaged Baggood with photo's and video - so just beware that they have changed something and it is not good for cars now
@@BeaversHobby ok thats too bad. Just converted my mini-z using that esc and I really do miss the smooth throttle response from the original esc. Perhaps the only way forward is going brushless.
@@zeno6111753 Yes, if you want a programmable ESC in this size the only way to go is brushless. But that's not a problem since now there's DasMikro ESC (which is essentially PN Racing v1) and it's fantastic. bit.ly/3h07teH
@@zeno6111753 There's only PN V2 available in www.minizracing.it/minizshop . It doesn't work with older generation motors like Surpass 1410 and Scorpion 1410. If you got Surpass Rocket or PN V3 and above it'll work.
There are different versions of this, if you reverse the throttle and it still doesn't have brake then I'm afraid they sent you the boat version and it doesn't have one.
If your motor has 3 wires then it's brushless motor. I highly recommend GL Racing ESC and Atomic ESC. They are a bit expensive but they work with every motor in this size. www.rcmart.com/GL-RACING-GLR-1-27-MINI-ESC-GSC-V1-2-GLR-S018_00082185 www.miracle-mart.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=67_74_1024&products_id=14040
Hey beaver just a quick question. I’ve never changed any wires for the esc. Is it possible to solder the female lead (including cable) onto the esc directly in order to use it to connect to the stock k989 motor? Thanks and sorry it’s a bit of a newbie question. Any help is appreciated :) ps. I’m using the esc that u recommended in this video.
Yes, you can solder the wires from the motor directly to the ESC. Check of the motor direction is correct first before doing anything so you don't have to swap the wires later.
Beaver's Hobby sorry what I meant was more of me having a cable with the female XH connector and soldering that to the esc? Or would what you said be easier? I’m just not understanding the part where I solder directly from the motor which is why I hadn’t tried it😅 thanks for your prompt response!
Beaver's Hobby yeah that’s what I was thinking, sort of. 😅 thx so much for your replies. I will most likely be attempting to solder the XH connector to the esc.
Thanks for all of your videos... great info for newbs! I just installed the same ESC for k989 using the FS-FT3c transmitter and his correspondent receiver. What happens to my is that i need to adjust the trim on steering at maximum for one side... and it still continues turning slightly to one side so i can't adjust it more and keeps turning. Can it be related to the ESC?
It's not from the ESC. I guess the neutral point is different so the arm is leaning to one side. Here's how to reset it: take the servo out, reset steering trim to 0, screw the arm (horn) out and put along with the bit that attach to the servo spline. Now power up the car along with the servo and shift the servo arm assembly to the other side. Try and put the arm back as straight up as possible. You can experiment with where to put the servo arm in to make it sit upright.
That's unfortunate. After this review I put it in a drift car and mine is still holding up really well however drifting doesn't draw much amps in the first place.
@@kastekniv885 Yes, this is very good for drifting too because it has good low-rev control. The other one is the DumboRC 10A. That one also has low voltage alarm if you install a buzzer on it.
@@BeaversHobby yeah homie a lot of my friend using the esc in the video and I use it and it disappointed me because it can't handle the 120c lipo battery while Dumbo rc can handle that
@@BeaversHobby awesome. they are so much fun when you swap out the battery with a powerful micro. I buy them all the time and race them on hotwheels tracks. the only thing is when you change the standard battery,you cant use the controler to charge it. you have to use a micro battery charger or something similar.
@@northernfreelance5788 Depends how big it is. This ESC also fit in other 1:32 cars too. But if it's bigger than your palm then you can consider Hobbywing 1625. It's even smoother than this one and it has lipo cut-off.
So this one is the best huh? How about you tell us why! All you have proved in the video is that it can make your car go forwards and backwards... Oh yeah and it blinks...
I already mentioned it. It can go forward and backward smoothly at slow speed. Unlike some other ESC that starting speed is high and make it difficult to drift.
That's really strange. If you cycle through all the settings and none of it brings the speed back to normal then it's either the battery or the motor. Try another battery first if you have a small 2s lipo. The motor should not break this easily.
Yes, the steering works. You'll need to install receiver. Please see this video for full upgrade/conversion to standard RC electronics (receiver-esc-servo).
@@WKRhomemade Servo is the same unit on both cars. It's the receiver inside the ESC that limits the throw on A252. You can solve this by moving the ball link on the servo horn down to lower position (stock position). But I'm not sure if the throw will still be too much with K989 ESC or not so you're gonna have to experiment with it.

@@franchussanmil589 Very strange indeed. Try putting ESC to CH1 and Servo to CH2 and see if servo works. So you know that CH2 is working or not.
@@BeaversHobby yes, I tried it and runs ok .......I become crazy...is sp strange. Thanks for you support
can this esc support 2s lipo battery that has 1500mah or 5000mah?
I wouldn't recommend those.
Battery capacity is irrelevant, the problem is that it won't fit on the car and the weight will make the motor work too hard and burn out the motor + ESC.
If you want to use those batteries I assume you have a bigger car and not this tiny, palm-size K989. A bigger ESC would be more suitable.
Do you have an alternative esc that is equally as good that have low voltage cut off?
As small and good one is DumboRC 10A. You can find it in Aliexpress. It doesn't have cutoff but it has alarm. You'll need to install a small 5v buzzer for that and it'll beep when the battery is low.
@@BeaversHobby i’ll look into it! Thanks beaver 🙏
@@BeaversHobby Looks like I can't source the jst xh plug locally, but they do have a female connector for a 2 pin lipo battery connector. Can I change the motor connector to that instead?
@@cityofplant Yes, you can. You can also solder the motor wires directly to the ESC.
@@BeaversHobby I just got the esc xD what kind of buzzer should I solder to it?
Is this one okay?

Is this Lipo alarm necessary? and can i use the car without it?
You can use the car without it. The lipo alarm is needed so you don't over discharge the battery and break it. As long as you are aware of how much battery you have and don't overdraw it beyond 3.2v per cell (6.4v overall) it will be alright. The easiest way to know is to use a lipo alarm. But if you don't have or don't want to use that, you can check the battery regularly with a multimeter.
Can i use this esc using k969 stock motor?
Yes, you can. This is for brushed motor, which the stock motor is.
@@BeaversHobby great!!..thanks for replying!!
Hmm, is it possible to do this with the stock transmitter/receiver?
No, the original one is integrated ESC with the receiver in one board so it's not possible.
The original ESC is pretty good already though. Unless you burn it then you can find a receiver for the original transmitter and use it with this ESC, result not guarantee because original transmitter doesn't have channel reversing and might not work.
@@BeaversHobby Thank you! Ordered brushless motor, esc and radiolink transmitter/receiver as you suggested in another vid :)
@@imp187 Already!? Not sure from which video you got the link but the latest one with speed test the ESC is too big for the car and you can't put the battery on properly.
Beaver's Hobby the XC-10A. Hmm I can just strap the battery in somehow I guess.
Beaver's Hobby and you are so helpful! You should start a patreon or Ko-fi or something!
Can this support a 32t PNracing motor?
I haven't got the PN 32T but based on my other tests with various motors I believe it can.
is this esc good for crawling?
No, it's not. It doesn't have drag brake so once you let go of the throttle on a hill the car will roll back.
@@BeaversHobby ah thanks 🙏
@@needtau4138 My pleasure.
Mine arrived - and there is no brake :(
Have tested both ways incase it was a reversed channel -
but it just goes from full forward to full reverse - and full reverse to full forwards, no braking at all
have messaged Baggood with photo's and video - so just beware that they have changed something and it is not good for cars now
It seems like you got a faulty one, either that or you got the boat version. Yes, contact banggood and see what they can do.
Do you know if this ESC is programmable?
No, it can't. None of the brushed ESC in this size is programmable.
@@BeaversHobby ok thats too bad.
Just converted my mini-z using that esc and I really do miss the smooth throttle response from the original esc.
Perhaps the only way forward is going brushless.
@@zeno6111753 Yes, if you want a programmable ESC in this size the only way to go is brushless. But that's not a problem since now there's DasMikro ESC (which is essentially PN Racing v1) and it's fantastic. bit.ly/3h07teH
@@BeaversHobby found it anywhere in the EU?
@@zeno6111753 There's only PN V2 available in www.minizracing.it/minizshop . It doesn't work with older generation motors like Surpass 1410 and Scorpion 1410. If you got Surpass Rocket or PN V3 and above it'll work.
I see you put tape on your lipo alarm. I did the same thing but with hotglue. Idk why there so damn loud.
Indeed! It's for outdoor vehicles so I can understand it has to be loud. But for indoor it's just too much.
They're meant for RC helicopters.
Is there a LiPo cut off on this ESC?
No, it doesn't have. As I said in the end you'll have to rely on lipo alarm or check it constantly.
Hi i buy it and brake doesn't worknig how i turn on it
There are different versions of this, if you reverse the throttle and it still doesn't have brake then I'm afraid they sent you the boat version and it doesn't have one.

Iam need ESC for motor 3 pins any?
If your motor has 3 wires then it's brushless motor. I highly recommend GL Racing ESC and Atomic ESC. They are a bit expensive but they work with every motor in this size.

Hey beaver just a quick question. I’ve never changed any wires for the esc. Is it possible to solder the female lead (including cable) onto the esc directly in order to use it to connect to the stock k989 motor? Thanks and sorry it’s a bit of a newbie question. Any help is appreciated :) ps. I’m using the esc that u recommended in this video.
Yes, you can solder the wires from the motor directly to the ESC. Check of the motor direction is correct first before doing anything so you don't have to swap the wires later.
Beaver's Hobby sorry what I meant was more of me having a cable with the female XH connector and soldering that to the esc? Or would what you said be easier? I’m just not understanding the part where I solder directly from the motor which is why I hadn’t tried it😅 thanks for your prompt response!
@@martintorres2799 Soldering the XH connector to the ESC is also really good way to do it because you can pull it out to for maintenance later easily.
Beaver's Hobby yeah that’s what I was thinking, sort of. 😅 thx so much for your replies. I will most likely be attempting to solder the XH connector to the esc.
@@martintorres2799 Best of luck!
Thanks for all of your videos... great info for newbs! I just installed the same ESC for k989 using the FS-FT3c transmitter and his correspondent receiver. What happens to my is that i need to adjust the trim on steering at maximum for one side... and it still continues turning slightly to one side so i can't adjust it more and keeps turning. Can it be related to the ESC?
It's not from the ESC. I guess the neutral point is different so the arm is leaning to one side. Here's how to reset it: take the servo out, reset steering trim to 0, screw the arm (horn) out and put along with the bit that attach to the servo spline. Now power up the car along with the servo and shift the servo arm assembly to the other side. Try and put the arm back as straight up as possible. You can experiment with where to put the servo arm in to make it sit upright.
@@BeaversHobby ok i see, so just a mechanical issue to correct. I'll try. Thanks a lot, i enjoy and learn with you videos.
@@joseangelanguita1990 My pleasure. Best of luck with the project.
@@BeaversHobby All working fine now after adjust the vertical of the servo🤘 thanks for the tip!
The esc died on me after only a hand full of runs :/
That's unfortunate. After this review I put it in a drift car and mine is still holding up really well however drifting doesn't draw much amps in the first place.
@@BeaversHobby hi dude, do you recommend this esc for the wltoys k969 drift version too? Thx
@@kastekniv885 Yes, this is very good for drifting too because it has good low-rev control. The other one is the DumboRC 10A. That one also has low voltage alarm if you install a buzzer on it.
@@BeaversHobby great thanks 😁
@@kastekniv885 My pleasure.
Dumbo rc one is much smaller
It's newer and better as well. I forgot it came out. Making a video now probably doesn't help much because there's always something new.
@@BeaversHobby yeah homie a lot of my friend using the esc in the video and I use it and it disappointed me because it can't handle the 120c lipo battery while Dumbo rc can handle that
compre toddo igual y monte todo igual,pero no frena.
If the brake doesn't work then try to reverse throttle channel and swap motor polarity.
Would you sell me a drift car?
Sorry, no. I keep my cars to do more videos and postage here is super expensive.
mod a cokecan car
Thanks for the suggestion. I've never got one of that so I'll look into it.
@@BeaversHobby awesome. they are so much fun when you swap out the battery with a powerful micro. I buy them all the time and race them on hotwheels tracks. the only thing is when you change the standard battery,you cant use the controler to charge it. you have to use a micro battery charger or something similar.

@@BeaversHobby what esc would you recommend to build my 1:32 scale snowmobile
@@northernfreelance5788 Depends how big it is. This ESC also fit in other 1:32 cars too. But if it's bigger than your palm then you can consider Hobbywing 1625. It's even smoother than this one and it has lipo cut-off.
So this one is the best huh? How about you tell us why! All you have proved in the video is that it can make your car go forwards and backwards... Oh yeah and it blinks...
I already mentioned it. It can go forward and backward smoothly at slow speed. Unlike some other ESC that starting speed is high and make it difficult to drift.
Hey beaver, i got one for ldrc 1802, motor is now slower than original at the high speed setting, can this be fixed to get high speed like before?
That's really strange. If you cycle through all the settings and none of it brings the speed back to normal then it's either the battery or the motor. Try another battery first if you have a small 2s lipo. The motor should not break this easily.
How do you change the motor plug
You can cut the motor wires and solder new plug to them.
Do the steering work go this?
Yes, the steering works. You'll need to install receiver. Please see this video for full upgrade/conversion to standard RC electronics (receiver-esc-servo).
How do you change the motor plug
How do I change the motor plug?
Cut and solder new plug to the ESC or just solder the wires directly to the motor.
Hi, can k989 original esc fit into a242 rc?
Yes. But beware the steering because K989 ESC allows more steering than A242 and there might be a problem with the servo throw. But it'll work.
@@BeaversHobby thank you for your respon bro.
@@WKRhomemade My pleasure.
@@BeaversHobby for the servo problem, can i use k989 servo to replace a242 servo?
@@WKRhomemade Servo is the same unit on both cars. It's the receiver inside the ESC that limits the throw on A252. You can solve this by moving the ball link on the servo horn down to lower position (stock position). But I'm not sure if the throw will still be too much with K989 ESC or not so you're gonna have to experiment with it.
