WARNING..... Cutting your wires on the ESC will void it's warranty!!!!
Do Not Try This At Home: UNLESS you understand what is/was done in this video...
NOT RESPONSIBLE if you screw something up!!!!!
The ESC I used in this video is over a year old..
I set out to make a 4 min video... Yup, Sure....
Like many, I have Tamiya kits that came with one form or another of the HobbyWing 1060 ESC (this works with the 880 ESC also) and well, the on/off switches SUCK, won't mount in stock chassis locations and the leads are not long enough... Here is how I fix that (I did this with my Blockhead Motors Wild One Off Roader too).
This is an easy job but can turn into a nightmare real fast if you don't take your time, have the proper tools, basic soldering skills and no distractions..
If you have have other tips or tricks and want to share, lets hear them...
Please leave any comments or questions below....
Amazon: HobbyPark 3 pk on/off switches X002ORBDXV @ $9 USD (made in ch***).. I say don't try these ones if you wanna try this. IMO only...
NOTE: Adding DIELECTRIC grease into the on/off switch case, holes in the case for the leads and around the tabs/wires "may help" it be more weather proof... Use only dielectric grease, as it's non-conductive......
Thanks for Watching!!!!!
I can't believe that you just posted this video mate..... I had to perform this EXACT operation only last weekend!!!
My hobby wing 1060 on the General Lee lost all power totally a few weeks back...... process of elimination got me guessing that it was a faulty switch (which indeed turned out to be the case)
I had an old eighties lunchbox that we use as a parts car and robbed the switch off that.
It's only when I popped the tabs and had both switches apart that I realised they were wired up differently on the 3 internal tabs!
Anyway, after reverse engineering both switches I managed to get the old Tamiya one running on the hobby wing esc..... Jobs a gooden!!
Wish you would have posted this video a few weeks sooner! 😂
As for the solder.... I still use stuff from the eighties, it's much better than the modern stuff if you ask me!
"Always have a clean tip"...... Giggidy! 😂 😅 🤣..... That's what she said!
Great video fella! 👍 👍 👍
Man... just lost my whole comment..... First, glad you figured it out... Second: @ 2 years ago I did this with my Blockhead Motors Wild One Off Roader and thought about making this video then.
3rd: Alllrrrright!!!!!!!!
Hey Bob, a nice switch tutorial 😊😊like that you and I use solder and flux from years ago, thrifty stuff 😂😊😂 it’s a nice economical modification and works well. Hope you and the family are keeping well 😊😊
Useful content, thank you for uploading. With 50% of lead, you may consider some ventilation for personal safety reasons. Of course the soldering was done really quickly, but still.
Thanks and I was in a big room with the AC circulating air around, Thank You for the concern but at almost 60, I do know better... Granted, some people don't...
Hiya Bob. Well that's the longest 4 minute video I ever watched! 😅 Good information and well done all the same! Haha, I still use soldering stuff that's over 30 years old too, as you say it still works good and probably better than the lead free cr@p you get these days. Anyways brother, a great solution to a very annoying problem! Cheers! 🍻😎👊👍
It sure was mate.... But at least I have a disclaimer, LOL.... Don't get me wrong, the HobbyWing on/off switches do work and work good.. They just don't work well in most Tamiya kits (I can't speak of other kits). ATB my friend...
Nice work Bob!👍😊
The 1060’s are real nice but aren’t conducive at all to Tamiya kits.😩
Thanks Jeremy... As I said, I did this on the Wild One I built @ 2 years ago... Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna break the little HW switch... This just makes it easier to mount in a Tamiya kit.
