Josh...I have Hobbywing 1080W ESCs in all three of my crawlers; so, I was very interested in your take on the programmable settings for them. We pretty much agreed on everything; except for, the two Drag Brake settings (#9 and #10). After my trying your settings...You win. I previously had way too much Drag Brake happening. So, your explanation of the 1080W settings in this video have been the most helpful of all I have seen on RUclips to date. Many thanks for your guidance. Suggesting a 45 tooth spur gear and 13 pinion for that motor.
You normally want to reverse the throttle position in the radio before performing ESC-radio calibration. The order shown would cause an issue if you have a shorter trigger throw on the braking side, which many radios do. This is mentioned in the Hobbywing instructions as well - Step 1 is to reverse it if you have a Futaba, Step 2 is to calibrate the ESC.
I'm building the same truck and I also chose the Hobbywing 1080 but I picked the Holmes Hobbies TrailMaster Sport 550 Brushed Motor (21T). I can't wait to see next week's DIY video!
By enabling #15 it will allow you to be on throttle while going downhill and it will maintain your speed. When its disabled it won't hold your speed downhill and will "freewheel" or speed up.
Looking good man! I would of picked up The 20 dollar Holmes trail master sport motor. It's actually a dollar cheaper lol. But the stock motor actually works pretty well for what it is. I ran the stock motor for a month or so till I swapped it out for a tekin roc412 and mamba x. I love my trx4 so far!
Excellent tutorial. Nice to see a budget combo as well. Keeps it real world. Makes things interesting and lots of people don't need/can't afford to go Cadillac on every aspect. 😁
Im following this series close! I just finished my first kit ever, and im still pretty new to RC so it was big for me! Liked and subbed, look forward to the crawl off between yalls trucks.
You dont actually need to plug in both programing and receiver plugs into the programming card, just running the cable from the programming port on the esc to the (+/-/s) port on the programming card is all that's necessary. (Hope that helps with quick programing changes In the future)
really nice you went through the settings of the HW 1080 esc... now i can just point friends to watch this video instead of going through it each time :)
Free diy mod is to cut an sipe the tires it puts them on level if not better than a set of hyrax. You can also cut the foams in a gear patter for better tire conformity
How do you like osmo action compared to GoPro?? I’ve been looking at that. You do very well explaining process. Well done. I love that motor as a budget motor. Nice choice.
I ordered a Sport builder kit from AMain and its been two months and its still not here cant wait to do the same ...Motor HH 2700 shorty and Mamba X Micro ESC ...
Whoa!! I have a Futaba 4PV as well and I have not done my throttle setup that way. I go neutral-set, full forward-set, full reverse-set per the instructions of the esc, I then go into the setting on the 4PV and reverse throttle. Do you do it that way so that you don't have to reverse throttle in the 4PV settings? Thanks.
I know I’m late to the party, but maybe another DIY mod would be trimming the fender flares. I found that if you cut the lip off on them that it reduces body rub substantially. I did it on my Sport, and it rarely rubs now. Feel free to steal the mod, and pass it on to Matt too.
My Traxxas motor died 5months after I got the truck and then a week later my Traxxas esc died and like 2 months before my Traxxas servo died. But nevermind I replaced the esc with the 1080 and is really good and replaced the motor with an 8 dollar 15t unbranded motor. I also got a savöx waterproof metal servo.
Thinner shock oil... 3d print a real truck bed and strap a model dirt bike back there.. Go full fpv (with servo articulation) from the interior, since u have clear windows all around and u have a multi channel radio?... it'd be cool to see any of these things done :-)
DIY...run all electronic's on one slider and battery on the other slider. This'll put the batter as low as possible....lower than a low center-of-gravity battery tray. Tho , I like the low cog battery... trays , I'm trying to save you money.
Everyone is makin rigs with power, maybe I should get away from the 80t spur, 10t pinion, 60t motor and go to a castle system or Holmes, not to sure about the hobbywing brand yet.. definitely will decide when yours runs
I had to add a BEC to my 1080 as even at 7.4v for the Servo, it is only giving out 3a, so still starving the servo. Have you ever dropped your radio? When I started crawling... I sold off my 4PV for the Spektrum DX5 Rugged. I sorely miss the interface/menus of the Futaba.
@@takenpictures I was going by what the manual said for the ESC and Savox said for their 1210. 7.4v @ 3A is what the HW 1080 outputs and the Savox which can run up to 7.4v at 7.4A. Yes, I'm 2S, but will be switching shortly to 3S.
@@megustachuletas3956 damn, that 1210 is an amp hog! The 1080 has a 6A peak, BEC is needed for sure! I was just saying that I've never had good luck running the 1080 at 7.4v on 2s. It's a good internal BEC, just not that good. Lol
Hi Harley, what happened to your 1.9 Wraith build, it sort of stopped after the 3rd video, are you still working on that build and do you plan to release another video for it??
I have more to do on it, just got busy with events and other projects that were scheduled. I need to do some running video on it as well as some other upgrades.
When I setup this esc with a stock transmitter and and receiver on my trx4 bronco, as soon as I power it on, all my servos start shifting back and forth constantly. My 2 speed transmission and front/rear locking differentials. I have tried to follow the similar steps to you but it will just beep sporadicly and continue shifting my servos. I have no steering/throttle/nothing. Anyone have any ideas? My local hobby shop said my receiver or transmitter could be bad. But they were working 100% fine right before install. I’m lost…
Man. No click bait here. That ESC/Motor combo is about as inexpensive as you can get. That said I wouldn't give up the Mamba X/Tekin ROC412(3100kV) setup I put in my TRX-4 Sport for nothin'. :)
Jes it does, i tried it. But its not completly silent in my case. If you have good ears you still will be able to hear the high pitched noise. Its higher pitched than the stock setting, maybe older folks cant hear it anymore and for them its quiet.. and your esc will get hotter. I just leave it stock.,
Yeah that’s pretty common, just a certain number of people who seem to show up soon after each video is uploaded to hit dislike. It doesn’t really bother me, when I was smaller It was just 1-2 but then as I grew that number also grew. Can’t please everyone 😁 It’s weird how people get so mad about free content I produce for them.
Is "cheap" a negative property for you? Seems so. So far you cannot say anything negative about the Hobbywing Quicrun 1080, so you call it "cheap", and "a little bit better than the 1060". Little bit? In the Quicrun 1060 (also really good and very cheap) you can adjust Lipo/NiMH and break type (crawler mode), not more. In the 1080 you can adjust "everything". This is "a little bit better" for you? The Hobbywing Quicrun 1080 is by far the most popular and most praised crawler ESC, the more if you consider its bargain price. But you seem to be ashamed or even feel pain (watch your face when talking about "Chinese stuff") because you have to use something "cheap" and "Chinese".
It’s much cheaper than the setups I prefer which are generally 4-pole sensored brushless systems. I like the 1080, it’s just that I not normally chose to run this type of setup. The programming is great and I’m well aware of the use of it in the market. It’s a great ESC for the money, just not my ultimate preferred setup.
@@HarleyDesignsInc OK, thank you for your response. I knew, you highly prefer BL setups, but anyway, you also highly prefer "Non-China-Setups" ;-). "I like the 1080" is a very new kind of statement of yours about Hobbywing (and similar) brand(s). I also do think, it is a fantastic ESC, and the price is unbelievable cheap (twice the price would still be a very good price). It is extremely popular here in Europe. And most people have to think at least a little bit about money for their hobby ;)
I don’t think I have a brushed crawler that isn’t running a HW ESC right now, so I’m totally on board with the choice. It’s just when I have the choice of what I want to run, ultimately it’s not usually HW.
I love this series. The budget builds with the two of you are my favorite videos you make. 👍✌️

jeremy pinson I also came here to say this 🤙
Change the shock oil for the DIY makes a huge difference
DIY idea. Modify the stock Canyon trail tires.
Ahem, the included pinion grub screw was pre-thread locked. ;)
I think I used it on the antenna tube and the one I had didn’t have it on there 🤷🏻♂️😁
Yeah thre predlocked
Max out the PWM frequency. It makes the low speed control much smoother.
Smooth footage with that new DJI! 😃👍
really nice you went through the settings of the HW 1080 esc... now i can just point friends to watch this video instead of going through it each time :)
I did not know about setting the esc after programming it. Thank you. My rig is much faster now, I must have been off in my throttle setting.
Free diy mod is to cut an sipe the tires it puts them on level if not better than a set of hyrax. You can also cut the foams in a gear patter for better tire conformity
Thank you for the detailed info
finally does somebody explain the 1080 settings clearly
You could raise the rock sliders for a DIY
How do you like osmo action compared to GoPro?? I’ve been looking at that. You do very well explaining process. Well done. I love that motor as a budget motor. Nice choice.
change shock oil and maybe shock location. and maybe something special with painting body and wheels. great video

Good choice getting on the ESC.And sticking to the rules.LOL
I run the same combo in mine and it is a great and quite set up

Raise the sliders with spacer easy cheap trick
Great video! Had a question my trx4 sport is leaning to the front left (passenger side) is this normal?
I’ve been running the same radio/esc/motor combo for a couple years now. Been waiting for my motor to die but that thing keeps chugging along.

The Receiver may not always like 7.4v so check yours before changing that setting. Stock Traxxas receivers are only rated to 6.0v
I haven’t seen a RX That won’t handle 7.4 in many years. They just put conservative ratings on some of them.

Cut the 2 side windows out so they look like they are down and also make it easier to view the interior/driver figure.
I agree I end up doing that with most my bodies, sometimes I do it half down or 3/4 down but one will always be totally out usually the driver.
raise rock sliders, 3d print new rock sliders, maybe some sort of weight in the front bumper (lead, brass, copper wire)
Adding additional weight, especially to the chassis is something I would always avoid for performance.
@@HarleyDesignsInc ok thank you for telling me that
Hows the 1080 do vs the xl5 hv?
The programming is better in the 1080 and the drag is much smoother. Great for downhill control.
You could do a basic interior.

How much did the Futaba receiver cost? 😀
I covered that in the intro video that radios don’t count 😝
