I have the Screen Record function figured out now on this Iphone 13 Pro Max. Who knew it was native in the iPhone? Just buried among hundreds of options.
Thanks audience for the comments and allowing me to learn something today.
Ok, I just checked and 20 of these ESC's were bought using our links and now they're out of stock. Hope they can refill inventory soon. Thank you all who purchased and let us know how it works out.
Got one ordered via your link and coming to the UK. Hopefully it works great
I really wanted one for my ZP-1001...I have a 1060 I've been holding on to, but this video inspired me to hunt down this ESC for my little TRX4 knock-off. Thank you for this excellent video review. I appreciate being educated about new options available for my hobby.
What is the continuous amps on the internal BEC?
Voltage gives you speed but once load is introduced , that's where the continuous amperage is much more important.
I believe Hobbywing is either 5 or 6 amps continuous. Mamba X is 8 amps peak but 5 or 6 amps continuous.

At that price point, I instantly ordered 2 off your link so that leaves us with 17...👀 channel support roll call 😄👍🏻
So glad you reviewed this I've had one on order from amazone for 3 weeks for the money you can't complain
Just ordered one along with a Holmes hobbies crawl master 540 16t. Rebuilding a wraith someone destroyed!! Thank you for your videos!!
After your first review of Hobbywing 1080 we have bought a lot of them and are for sure optimal for Crawling!
After this review I have ordered it immediately !!
Thanks for your really interesting job !
Damn, I love watching your enthusiasm! Great review, looks like a nice product at a great price. Can't beat phone programming, makes switching it up in the field easy.
Yeah, not only programming but telemetry for battery level.
@@RCReviewChannel That's the only reason that I don't like it, I don't own a smartphone.
I picked up a 1080 based on your reviews when I got my TRX4 Sport last year, but more competition in the market is always a good thing for everyone! If nothing else, maybe Hobbywing will bring the 1080 down in price in the future…
Wow seems great, will be good to see a version 2 that they’ve got all the bugs sorted
Yeah, definitely evolving.
Good point. Bugs indeed, in a component that needs to be bomb proof.
Good news, it has updateable firmware. Just installed an istd esc90 and it was painless with way less of the issues people have complained about. Let's see how long it lasts
App updates are super easy for a company and create many possibilities for the future. I’ll be grabbing one!
Timely for me as I was about to get a couple of 1080s. Been using isdt chargers for years now and I trust the brand so a no brainer considering price, programmability and performance.
Yeah, they seem like an electronics powerhouse.
7:10 Sounds to me like "Active Drag Brake" is what HW inexplicably calls Freewheeling. Creeping downhill with the 1080 is much smoother with Freewheeling enabled, especially with a three-slot motor. That said, it is either off (default) or on (enable setting 15) but you cannot adjust how much, so that's a cool feature -- just not new or unique.
I think with a little bit of refinement this could be a definite contender I love their discharge stations and their battery chargers
I really enjoy your videos, they are so educational! I just got started in hobby grade rc a few weeks ago (SCX24 and Traxxas slash 4x4) and I just picked up an scx10 ii builders kit. After watching this video I decided to go with a brushed setup and snagged this esc for it what would be the best motor to pair it with?
The 15th setting on the 1080 when set to enabled will do the same thing as that IDST going down hill.
Wow that's a really good job from ISDT. If the go releasing also brushless ESC's with same features with a very good price i am really shure it would be a good alternative for my hobbywing 60a brushless ESC's. We should see.
I honestly trust the 1080 more plus the extra 10 amp capacity makes the extra $20 worth it and the hobbywing name but I will wait for a real review of the finished product
Was this not a real review? 😳
Agreed. This video is more of an unboxing, with a quick spin up some fake rocks. I'm hoping Francis will do a follow-up after giving the product a thorough shakedown. Groovy features aside, an ESC lives or dies by whether it can handle intense fluctuating power for hours on end, in and out of water, in freezing or scorching temperatures -- something the 1080 has proven it can do. You don't want to be stuck out on the trail with a less expensive ESC that connects to your iPhone (sometimes) but can't make your truck go.
@@NaturallyRC agreed. Don’t skimp on the esc unless you’re selling it.
One advantage of the programming cards is, that it will still work in 20 years without any additional hard- or software.
They're harder to hack and can survive a cyber bomb maybe.
Facts this being app programmed whose to say this wont be like my half dozen dasmikro bluetooth reci3vers that i havnt been able to use since bt 2.0 phones 3.0 and 5.0 current ones will connect but they dont smoothly opperate the controls of the car
I ordered it ... I have to try it! So far Hobbywing 1080 Quicrun the best! Is it possible to set the brake slowly from full throttle to a stop?
Thank you for the review, I was curious how they compare.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Sir I will be getting one ! Love it love your channel always can depend on your honest review!
I am going to buy one of these for a basher rig. The app is intriguing and may be the evolution of inexpensive esc market. I found them for 33.00 on Amazon, worth a shot in my book.
That's great seems to be very user friendly and very beneficial...great video mate👍👍👍
thank you.
love to see if they come
out with decent brushless esc
When you say expensive I smile remembering the '80 ESC, the best thing thy were able to do was burning and they costed about 300 dollars........
I really hope isdt esc70 can make it for 2 reasons,
1. apps programming looks cool and can be upgrade for more function maybe in the future, if the app really works.
2. maybe the hw 1080 will be discount a lot so I can buy more for all my rc applications😁
The test will be longevity. Looks good👍🏼
Absolutely
Outstanding. I love the 1080, but I will have to try it.
Right. Cool tool for sure
ill be geting one thank to you this is so cool
Thanks a lot Sir, it's always a pleasure to see you getting excited but yet beeing objective when reviewing a product. Sir, you earned my trust and finally a subscription. Have a great 2022.
Thanks for sharing. Love it.
Nice review. Ive been running this for 2 months in my trailfinder. So far so good, wish they labeled the receiver ports though. Have you seen any issues with heat?
@@polishguywithhardtospellna8227 I didnt compare it to the 1080 which I have, I had lower expectations. To me its a way better than stock upgrade that was worth the price. I wouldnt count on waterproof. I havent had it long enough to stress it in the heat (its very small). The app is buggy but still way better than a jumper or program box IMO. Overall its working well on 3s with a 21T TrailMaster Sport 550. My biggest fear so far is the button breaking. Time will tell if its worth it or not.
@@jaimep.4262 thank you.
@@jaimep.4262 the buttons aren't water proof btw....3300kv 300$ system just shit the bed
Awesome I am doing a Custom build hard body from a Toy Halo Warthog. I am planning 1/10th scale with Class 1 tires. Using parts sitting around from Upgrades. Trying to do it on the cheap, so this is Ideal ! You always have the best info. Last winter I got A Tegu and when it arrived I was into working on my Summer RC's and the 24's got neglected, Now it's 24 season again I have it waiting. Amazed how Furitek have blown up over the last year, seeing them all over now.
So a new crawler specific esc,not before time👍😂however,this may be a good item but as yet it’s unproven and has its own faults,I doubt the finished item is going to be 25bucks!
As it stands it’s no where near the PROVEN hw1080 quality or reliability.
I watch a lot of your videos and in fact,I bought my first 1080 on the back of your review.
I have four crawlers at the mo and each one has a 1080 in it,including a £500 axial bomber.But I do think to say that it’s as good if not better than the 1080 at this point is a bit misleading,it may be once they iron out the problems,but when they ve done that I m certain the price will go up.
With regards to the program card I agree it could be offered with or without,I have four but only need one but it’s. A great idea and function and certainly better than trying to program with beeps or flashing lights,
To say it’s awkward to operate now is just a contradiction because this new one can be programmed via a smart phone,which not everyone has.
I like your videos and reviews but just think it’s a bit early in the day to be raving about this new product,I will be trying it myself but in about two years when they ve ironed out the issues with it.
Appologies if this offends,it’s not meant to,just my opinion and from someone who is a massive fan of the 1080 but I really hope this new one proves itself as then we ll all have a choice instead of just the one,even if it is superb.Even at £42 it’s excellent value for what it does.
Looking forward to reviews on this new one to see what people think👍👍😀😀
I agree Paul it will be brilliant if this product is better than the 1080 especially if its half the price. But i am curious to see how long it lasts, never mind if it better or not because it really is so cheap, even cheaper than the 1060. I am curious to see if it is still here in 2 years time like you say. Excellent comment Paul and open to a good debate
@@tiborvon yeah,deffo mate.It ll be interesting to see how it stands the test of time👍👍😀😀
I really appreciate your feedback. I have about 10 Hobbywing 1080 escs myself. It is the standard for ESCs and all RC Products in general. So much value and performance.
The new ISDT is very promising so it will be great to see as it gets the bugs out and proves its reliability. At the very least it will offer some competition and it will get the Hobbywing 1080 to update and improve.
Big Squid reviewed this back in October 2021, definitely seems to be gettin some traction if only one can ever locate them in stock on Amazon. There's always ali express etc I just don't have the patience needed for over seas shipping 🤘🏽
BigSquid printed 4 lines of press release. Wish they had more info.
I'll check if Banggod has them.
@@RCReviewChannel I definitely would like to get my hands on a couple. I had a bad experience ordering over seas in the past so now I'm nervous..
O yeah something new to the brushed world nice review 👌
Yeah, brushed is not getting enough attention when it's really the right tool for most Trail Crawlers.
Not bad. Will be on the look out for an update product. Just the start of the video made a little confusing for some that don’t have knowledge. You Mentioned working together it sounds like the product would be added to the hobby wing. Other then that cool. 👍
It's a complete replacement for the Hobbywing 1080. We just put both on the car for A/B test comparison
Have you noticed an issue if going fast in forward, let the rig stop with the active brake, then go in the reverse direction? When I lightly go in the reverse direction it slightly jumps forward before going reverse.
hi😃👋, very nice parts😃👍. i will buy one soon😉. i'll must do a french video for this esc. thanks alot to share your great vid💙.
have a nice day😉✌
You have saved me so much time and money !
Thank you sir! This video is awesome, I almost got the other one you used to like. Lol
It's cool seeing you get excited 🙏
Respect to you.
You are welcome!
I got one yesterday after watching ur video and it Caught fire as soon as I plugged it in
More details and photos or just trolling?
@@RCReviewChannel will get u pic no trolling did not even turn it on just plugged it in had it hooked red to red black to black
@@RCReviewChannel how to u put a photo on hear
Was going to pick one up all ready sold out for 25 bucks worth trying guess everyone else though the same.
I know you might not see this but would to see a update on this little esc
When I punch full throttle and go from neutral to slow crawl it makes a huge jitter, like a hiccup, almost like a jump, makes all 4 wheels do that weird spasm like behavior. Have any of you experienced that? Everything else works perfect, except that detail.
Not even noticing that your ESC detected 3S automatically but the cut-off voltage is as low as 6V?
So after this ESC killed all your batteries it's probably not that cheap anymore...
can you please do a review on the best cheap shocks
Just went to Amazon to try to order one of these - time is 9:25 PM EST 1/7/2022 Amazon page says: Currently Unavailable
Can’t wait to finish watchin this. I know it’s great because you are wayyyyy too happy from the beginning of the vid. Lol. I’m sure this another great vid.
Right on. I’m always happy with new discoveries that shake up the category.
Can the Traxxas micro Servos and LEDs run more then 6.0v ?
Already out of stock and cant find them on amazon now.
Just checked Amazon they say "Currently unavailable We don't know or if this item well back in stock
Awesome review. Very cool.
Glad you enjoyed it
You need an elgato for screen capture. Looks a lot better than point and shoot. Just an idea, love your content either way.
Any idea on the motor turn limit for this ESC?
will this work if you don't have the Bluetooth connected to it after setup?
Hi
I have a problem with the ISDT ESC70, when I open ISD GO, the ESC is well recognized, I am asked to update the Firmware, the download stops at 43%, then nothing, if I refuses the update, I can't do anything. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S9, with Android of course. Could you advise me. Thank you for all your videos, I'm a fan.
Best regards from France
I've bought 4 or 5 1080's in the last 5 or 6 years... None of the came with the programming card included... Had to purchase it separately...
Damn, wish I had seen this sooner!
Really hope they get more stock and sell at the same price.
I enjoy this ESC
My stock trx4 motor is finally cooked I think. Besides price, is there any advantage for this system compared to something like the hobbywing brushless?
Also, it I want to buy something that's not related to this review how to go about getting a link to that so it goes through you?
Im buying on of these i bought a 1080 and it fried after 3 uses
What is a budget brushed esc for an 8 turn motor ?
Looks good for $25 bucks I’ll give one a try. I have always wished you could buy the hw 1080 with or without the program box, how many of those does a guy need?
I'll buy a Progam card off of you, if you have a few of them. I bought a used RC with the 1080 but no card.
@@polishguywithhardtospellna8227 As many as he can afford
will this work on a 1\16 scal wpl24?
Francis you mentioned before that the trx4 micro servos can handle 7.4v but when I contacted traxxas they said they’re only capable of 6v… seems kinda dumb to include a 7.4v esc if all the included electronics will only do 6v and the esc is a weak point as it is, why not give us a cheaper 6v esc and make the truck cheaper in this case???
*TECH TIP* It turns out the calibration is touchy on the ESC70.. If the Nuetral wont calibrate(theres a count down) then you can try turning your EXPONENTIAL setting up. For example I have a Futaba 3PK with FASST system and have no issues calibrating it, but.... I wanted to use my Cheap FLYSKY FS-GT3C and could not calibrate it. The Nuetral point wandered all over the place!!! I changed the EXPO to +70% and nuetral stabalized nicely. After that calibration was simple! Good luck to all and I hope this helps! :)
I would like to know how you increased your voltage to 7.4V to the servo with out frying your stock reciever since a reciever can only handle 6 VOLTS.
Have not yet met a modern rtr receiver that can’t handle 7.4v. And I’ve tried a bunch
@@RCReviewChannel well that just made my life a whole lot easier. I have not crossed the 6V for fear of frying my recievers and i have after market stuff no RTR stuff.
I was worried about this with my trx4 since it still uses the traxxas micro servos didn't want to run them over 6 volts so I used a hobbywing bec and only used it to send power to my servo instead of servo and reciever that way micros get 6 volts and my nsdrc steering servo gets 7.4 or 8.4 volts. Hobbywing makes a strong one that has dip switches on it to change voltage without having to program it, I like that part.
wow nice product competition is good!
Can this work without the switch connected?
Apa esc ini rekomendasi untuk rc adventure saya dari indonesia terimakasih 🙏
Finally a bigger power button nice
Yeah pretty handy and it's got color indicators
@@RCReviewChannel sweet
That's a brushed esc?
Wich motor were you using?
I bought 6 of them and the did not have the programer, I had to go back in and purchase it.
Not available on Amazon or EBay?
ISDT ESC70 - catchy name :D
VERY NICE
What motor and steering servo would you pair with it for a crawler build 🤔
Motor would be a 21 turn Holmes Hobbies Trailmaster Sport snp.link/c31e978f
This would be a good servo snp.link/91f399cb
I'm buying one
Active brake force, set pwm 10khz, brake force 5 active brake force 10 active brake force enable
Biggest question of all - is it waterproof like the 1080 tho ? Otherwise it’s a big fail and nothing to buy.
I just looked on the link and it says it's waterproof
@@mickd8188 okey! Then this will be a big hit for sure!
Do you know if it comes in a version with the Deans connector
no wires or XT60 only options for now.
1080 all the way 2yrs never a problem .
We're not about to jump ship yet but great to have an option. 1080 needs to evolve anyway.
Glad they are selling well, but I personally don't want to support cellphone integration. The less apps the better.
Looks very good
It is!
@@RCReviewChannel now to get hands on one
is it waterproof?
Is there anything these days which isn’t controlled by your phone 🤔
Hell I found one and bought it
Never has success with LiPo. Still running brushed motors and NiMH batteries because i know they work.
@RCreviewe …I need one of those program boxes !!! Lol. Send me one plz? . Lol.
Unavailable currently.
1080 is very easy to program. The card is usefull
Easy if you have it with you and if you've done it before. Not having to wire something in, and using Bluetooth seems way more convenient though.
Buggy and time outs are a god reason to avoid it. Also getting phone out every time to change settings is longer than on 1080. 1080 all the way.
We'll see how soon the bugs are fixed.
Getting the phone out is 3x faster and more intuitive than plugging in an LED card IMHO
but u will bring your phone anywhere. can you do it with program card?
Before watching it has to be the 1080
Durability test pls. Let it burn up 2-or more
batteries under load nonstop.
Already sold out in Amazon….😳
You have an iPhone why not just use the screen record feature swipe up from the bottom it should be there
bluetooth will always be buggy needs to be very close without any interference
Amazon sold out just hours later, DAMMIT!!
First they have to fix their software.
재밌는 아저씨네요 :)
Is it waterproof
Yes it is.
@@RCReviewChannel badass sadly seems anyone that sells it at pricing u mentioned either dont sell it anymore or have marked it up almost to 1080s priceing now tho
Too bad they aint on EBAY :(
