"Hey Fil, what's the best budget brushed ESC you can think of?" Why, it's the Hobbywing 1060, of course! www.e-rc.ca Coupon Code: Poorboysrc for $10 off your purchase of $100 or more.
I love this ESC, I have it in several completely different RC cars, never had a failure, and as you said, super easy to change the plug out, and they're so cheap. Thanks for sharing!
Your spot on the hobbywing is an excellent budget brushless esc👍 but I still managed to fry mine because I got the positive/negative around the wrong way (says more about me than the esc) that's what you get for not putting your glasses on before you connect them🤦♂️
Hey Phil pleased to finally come across one of your vids I've heard a lot about your channel thank you so much for this best little straight up everything I needed to know you solved a big issue for me have a great day mate 👊
I was searching for an easy-to-use and low cost ESC as I am transitioning from controlling my LEGO builds with Bluetooth controllers (range, bad...) to proper RC (range, gooooood...). After watching this video, my mind was set, so my first ESC is the 1060!
I've never tried this one yet, I've got the HW1080 in a couple of crawlers, they come with the programing cards which is handy. Going to have to try this one out in a future build now.
1080 is my go-to for crawlers, it's awesome! Think of the 1060 as it's little brother. Fewer features, but reliable, waterproof and really inexpensive. My go-to for 90% of my RC's. 👊
The 1060 was my go-to for several years but I have pivoted to the 1080 for my touring cars. It has a little more power and is easily programmed from crawler centric to cars. It’s super noice.
Great video sir well done well explained I got one of these on my RC car since I installed it it’s like I’m driving the car with no brakes on or really weak brakes is there any programming I can do to this ESC
Not as far as I know. Is your throttle trim set to neutral when you turn it on? The esc self-calibrates every time it's turned on, ensure trim is neutral and if your radio has an ABS function, turn it off.
I love it easy if my ESC break on the Trail i can change fast the ESC and drive away .With 1080 i need to programming the ground functions difficult outdoor deep in the forest.
I've never done it, personally. I'm running a BZ and 1060 in my Monster Beetle for years with no issues. Only time I over heated my 1060 was running a 13T double at max speeds for long periods of time. You should be totally safe. 👊🏼
@@poorboysrc I sent the link for you to check out but my comment keeps disappearing. Perhaps you can search it yourself, I'd appreciate your opinion. It reads as "#1 new release".
If you plug a 2s lipo into it while it's set for nimh will it damage the esc straight away? I've just gone and done that on my first Tamiya build. 🤦♂️ Once I noticed I switched it to lipo. The kit came with the thw-1060-rtr esc and torque tuned motor. I bought a dumbo rc x6f transmitter with the x6fg receiver. I plugged it all together with a 5200mah 2s 7.4v 50c lipo and nothing happens when I try to use it. I bound the transmitter and receiver according to the instructions, so that shouldn't be the problem. The strange thing is, when I i switch the gyro on and wiggle the car the gyro works!! Any ideas on the problem? Have I blew the esc? There wasn't any weird pops or smoke from it when i connected it wrong.
The nimh/lipo jumper isn't the issue in this case. In fact, all that little jumper does is it sets a voltage cutoff when lipo is selected. This prevents you from over discharging your lipo. When in nimh mode, the voltage cutoff is removed, allowing you to fully drain your nimh pack. The other benefit of this esc is that it self calibrates. So if your gyro is working, that leads me to believe your radio and receiver are bound correctly. But I can't say 100%, as I've never used that radio before. But it's very popular, so I trust it's a good product. Have you checked to make sure your esc is plugged into your receiver correctly? I've seen people plug them in backwards. Double check that and let me know! 👊🏼
@@poorboysrc I've sorted it!! 😃 I lifted the cover and noticed the dual rates - I think that's what they're called - for both steering and throttle were at zero. I adjusted them up to 50% and bingo!! Everything works as it should. This is probably the rc equivalent of a motorcycle kill switch being on. Lol
Help please, the brake force in this 60amp esc is almost non-existant, the manual says its 50% force. But its like almost nothing for me. Can the brake force be adjusted? Its in a fassst buggy but it barely stops the car.
@@poorboysrc Hmmm now you've got me thinking. It came in that unmarked bubble wrap. I have one other brushless hobbywing combo in a mini-t which came in-box and is flawless. I have nothing to compare the brushed one to really.
@@christianrambissoon1141 I think we found your problem... I've been suckered into the $15 Hobbywing 1060 before (on ebay), it shows up and it's unbranded, but looks just like a HW1060. Throttle control is not good, brakes, meh... I bet you got a bad one, too man. On the bright side, they make a good door stopper, paper weight, or flying projectile for a sling shot! 😂
@@poorboysrc Throttle response is great actually, lol. All the modes work as per the jumper settings but the brakes in f/b/r mode, jeeeez. Really annoyed. Gotta spend double money now. And yes it was 20 bucks. Thanks for the assist!
@@poorboysrc I saw a UK guy post a video and included a bit from the manual regarding calibration. This is why I asked the auestion. But I watched it again, it's almost literally "have your throttle stick/trigger in the neutral position, and ESC wil calibrate" Pointless inclusion! It did mention having all the transmitter settings configured to 100% or neutral or whatever those are set to... Sorry for the dumb question.
Hi, friend! awesome installation, i have a question... can i install a hobbywing 1060 variator in a 1/18 1/16 scale car? with small motors 370,380,390 brushed? my fear is burning the engine, regards.
My first Tamiya the new 992 GT3 comes with this I plugged it in it just flashes and I het no power to my spektrum reciver. I set the end points still nothing it says RTR but for be its a nightmare and my first drive is no postponed 😢
@poorboysrc it's says plug it into the throttle so I followed that then I tried the battery on my reciver and it just flashes red and no beeps. This receiver is good as I bound it on my nitro buggy to make sure it wasn't dead. But since I brought OK a work trio in Ontario I can't really take it to the shop in Malaysia for help 🥲 it's my first Tamiya lots of hops up and ready to rip now it R.I.P for now.
@@kanenstuff and just to be sure, you're plugging the esc into the receiver the correct way? The black wire of the esc should be facing the near edge of the receiver. Like in this pic: images.app.goo.gl/Xd3VV13rT6dTpb5e9
@poorboysrc yeah for sure I use the Spektrum DX5 Rugged and SR215 receiver. For my nitro buggies these recievers awork a charm and always get power but for the Tamiya I can't even get power to the reciever. I read the instructions and set the throttle end points and still it just flashes. Thanks for your help 👍
Hi, got one very similar, Chinese, of Amazon, ok, I am using 2 X 12 v geared motors 200rpm .... and a 7.4 v 1500 15c mah battery.. It is being used on. Bruder Volvo a60h ATV,.... The problem I am having is that when power is applied, the motors are very slow, when truck is assembled and can hardly pull itself along, never mind with a load, what am I doing wrong please.?? Very informative video, thanks...
Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm not sure how to help, I don't have any experience using 12V motors. But I have to think that since they're 12V motors and you're running only 7.4V then they're going to move very slowly.
It will work on the TRX4, but the HW 1080 is an even better choice for crawlers. But if you're on a budget, the 1060 will work just fine. I'd run f/r since the portals act like a drag brake anyway. 👊
That's interesting to hear, especially in such a small rig. I can't say why the brakes would be weak, I found them to work pretty well on this esc, I use it in nearly all of my 1/10 brushed cars.
Hi, I have a question. I just got this for my grasshopper. What battery would you recommend with 540 motor? There's so much info about batteries that it's a little overwhelming. If you could help it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
@poorboysrc I don't have anything yet. I'm finishing the build and doing research. I came across your video of the esc, and immediately ordered it to update. The only thing I didn't get was a battery yet because there's so much info and brands that I just didn't know where to begin. I liked your style and explaining in your videos so I value your opinion
@@jackcarmichael2476 that's awesome, dude. Thanks for the kind words, I hope you find my channel both entertaining and informative. You can run a 6 cell nimh easily, and it'll be great. A 2S lipo will have more punch, but lipos have some quirks that require the user to understand. Personally, I run 2S lipo in most of my rigs (including my Grasshopper) and find it perfect. You'll just need to find one that fits. I did a video on that too, actually... lol!
@poorboysrc you're welcome and thank you for sharing your knowledge! Could you put the link here of that video so I can go watch it. The right size battery fitting inside the grasshopper, was also my concern lol. Thanks again!
Just fitted one of these in my new Cross-RC AT4V crawler. Someone commented that I am fitting sub-standard electronics by using such a cheap (16 GBP) ESC. Yes, I know the 1080 is programmable but the 1060 just connects up and off you go. Would you have used the 1060 or 1080 in such a truck?
I've run both the 1060 and 1080 in my crawlers and while I do prefer the 1080 (greater tunability, smoother throttle response), I'd say the 1060 is still a fair choice, especially for someone on a budget.
@@poorboysrc I have a 1080 in my PG4A but decided to go with a 1060 in the AT4V just to get up and running quickly and because I had to buy quite a lot of other parts. By the time you have bought the transmitter, ESC, steering servo, gearshift servo, 2 diff-lock servos, battery, paints, etc, all the ancillary parts add up to quite a lot of money. I know you swap out your connectors and I'm sure if you have a hobby shop locally you can pick up whatever you want easily but I do not have a RC shop within 100km and have to order everything online. Just getting a different connector takes at least a month to arrive so it is a logistical challenge whenever I'm building a new kit!
@@BlackSeaRC yeah it's incredible how quickly it can all add up. That's one of the reasons I'm always searching for good quality gear at a good price. Hobbywing esc's are at the top of that list. 👌
Wow great video you explain it great. I got one of those And I’m not sure if it’s normal I have the pins on forward brake reverse when I am accelerating I want to come to a stop the car keeps rolling I have to double tap my transmitter for it to fully stop is that normal ?
That doesn't sound right, you shouldn't have to double tap to stop. Hmmm, tough to say why it's doing that. Maybe try and set the jumper to the other option and see what it does? Or even take the jumper off entirely, power it up and see what it does?
@@bonbonesrc3968 withe the jumper out, it's in crawler mode. drag brake, not super strong, but works great for light weight crawlers. try reversing your throttle on your radio, if you can. then swap the motor leads. might just have the motor hooked up backwards. brake when reversing?
1080 has many more programmable features and is really well suited for rock crawlers/scale rigs. The 1060 has fewer features, jumpers for programming and is really at home in a basher/weekend warrior rig. 👊
@@kendrickcontent all depends on how fast you want to go. 903a seems pretty rough and durable, I'd probably get something in the 4500kv range so it's plenty fast, but not insane.
@@kendrickcontent as a general rule of thumb: Over motor and under gear. Meaning, high gearing can create a lot of heat and cause problems. Keep the gearing stock for now and if you want more speed go for a higher kv motor. Hope that helps. 👊
I bought a "HobbyWing" 1060 on Ebay and it was junk! It did not come in the box, it did not have instructions, it did not have decals. In addition to that, it burned up in less than 20 seconds. I don't know if somebody is buying rejects or if they are clones, but they have to be bought from a reputable dealer or buyer beware. I got a real one and LOST a good 25% power off of a cheap RC buggy.
Insiders here in Sydney Australia tell me the factory based in Suzhou China manufactures the fakes. If purchased through Ebay, you can determine the location of the sender (factory direct).
I did not realise that the switch clips to the ESC! 🤯 Every day is a school day! Thanks dude!
Ha, that's awesome! You learn something every day, they say! 🤣
I love this ESC, I have it in several completely different RC cars, never had a failure, and as you said, super easy to change the plug out, and they're so cheap. Thanks for sharing!

Oh no, sorry to hear that! Lesson learned and hey, at least it wasn't too expensive a lesson! 👊
I like that Tamiya has started including these in their kits.
You and me both! Its a superior esc to the TBLE-02S in every way! 👊
Only 2 years late to the party! You can now get these with a Deans plug already fitted as standard, well in the UK at least. That's progress for you!
Thank goodness for that! Saves the extra soldering!😁
That’s the best idea I’ve seen to program an ESC. Awesome info, thanks for sharing

@@poorboysrc I have a 1080 in my PG4A but decided to go with a 1060 in the AT4V just to get up and running quickly and because I had to buy quite a lot of other parts. By the time you have bought the transmitter, ESC, steering servo, gearshift servo, 2 diff-lock servos, battery, paints, etc, all the ancillary parts add up to quite a lot of money. I know you swap out your connectors and I'm sure if you have a hobby shop locally you can pick up whatever you want easily but I do not have a RC shop within 100km and have to order everything online. Just getting a different connector takes at least a month to arrive so it is a logistical challenge whenever I'm building a new kit!
@@BlackSeaRC yeah it's incredible how quickly it can all add up. That's one of the reasons I'm always searching for good quality gear at a good price. Hobbywing esc's are at the top of that list. 👌
Wow great video you explain it great. I got one of those And I’m not sure if it’s normal I have the pins on forward brake reverse when I am accelerating I want to come to a stop the car keeps rolling I have to double tap my transmitter for it to fully stop is that normal ?
That doesn't sound right, you shouldn't have to double tap to stop. Hmmm, tough to say why it's doing that. Maybe try and set the jumper to the other option and see what it does? Or even take the jumper off entirely, power it up and see what it does?
Yes seems weird to me with no jumpers in it’s like I’m driving with the handbrake on Thanks though for your help and time keep up the good work buddy
@@bonbonesrc3968 thanks for watching my channel, sorry I couldn't be of more help here!
@@bonbonesrc3968 withe the jumper out, it's in crawler mode. drag brake, not super strong, but works great for light weight crawlers.
try reversing your throttle on your radio, if you can. then swap the motor leads. might just have the motor hooked up backwards. brake when reversing?
RSC 1060 Is it very noisy?
Nope, it's quiet as a church mouse. 🐁 🪤
what receiver do you recommend to go with this
All depends on your needs, my man. I'm running the Flysky GT3B in 90% of my rigs, and I love it. ❤️
@@poorboysrc I ordered the dumbo rc x6 transmitter with the dumbo rc x6fg reciever do you know if they’re any good
@@zachthehaunter4778 I don't own one (yet), but I see lots of guys using them all with positive feedback. I think it's a good radio. 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc Yeah I was trying to do my best research for the best bang for the buck stuff haha
How come nobody talks about the bec lead on this perdy important don't you think
BEC lead? Do you mean the plug for the receiver?
Will it run in a trx4m 1/18
It could, but it might be a little big for that small chassis.
@@poorboysrcI’ll drag it behind in a trailer 😂😂😂
@@GeorgiaKayakAngler that would actually be pretty hilarious! 🤣
How does this compare to the 1080?
1080 has many more programmable features and is really well suited for rock crawlers/scale rigs. The 1060 has fewer features, jumpers for programming and is really at home in a basher/weekend warrior rig. 👊
Can you run this esc with a 3s lipo
You sure can! 🍻
Will that work with an 8 turn motor? If not which lower price esc will work with an 8 turn ??
No 8T is too hot for this esc. You'll probably have to go to a higher end esc foe that kind of speed.👊
@@poorboysrc ok, thanks for answering. I'm looking for a budget brushed esc that can but I'm having a hard time finding it.
@@representing7372 I'll let you know if I come across one! 😎
@@poorboysrc awesome, thank you.
@@representing7372 any time bro! 👊
Is the kyrc 60 based on this esc?
Not too sure pal.
Yes it is. The kyrc is junk compared to the 1060
Does this have a hidden antenna?
No, there's no antenna in an esc, you're probably thinking of a receiver. 👍🏻
Why would it have an antenna?? 🤣
Why does mine not have steering????
No ESC controls steering, only forward/reverse/braking. The receiver is what controls your steering.
is it 3.7v or 7.4
7.4V 👊
Whats a good brushless esc for the 903a 1/12
Hobbywing 10BL120, can't go wrong! 🍻
@@poorboysrc paired with what motor?
@@kendrickcontent all depends on how fast you want to go. 903a seems pretty rough and durable, I'd probably get something in the 4500kv range so it's plenty fast, but not insane.
@@poorboysrc im looking at a 3660 4200kv so idk how much faster that would be from the stock 3800kv. I dont know how to shop for motors and gears
@@kendrickcontent as a general rule of thumb: Over motor and under gear. Meaning, high gearing can create a lot of heat and cause problems. Keep the gearing stock for now and if you want more speed go for a higher kv motor. Hope that helps. 👊
I bought a "HobbyWing" 1060 on Ebay and it was junk! It did not come in the box, it did not have instructions, it did not have decals. In addition to that, it burned up in less than 20 seconds. I don't know if somebody is buying rejects or if they are clones, but they have to be bought from a reputable dealer or buyer beware. I got a real one and LOST a good 25% power off of a cheap RC buggy.
Sounds like it was probably a knock-off. I've seen them out there, even purchased a couple. 🍻
@@poorboysrc I said the first one I got was a dud and a clone. The other two I bought are from a dealer and are the genuine thing.
Insiders here in Sydney Australia tell me the factory based in Suzhou China manufactures the fakes. If purchased through Ebay, you can determine the location of the sender (factory direct).
