Thanks for the honest review about the flaws I was planning to get one, I'm currently using a generic 20a esc on my crawler but the drag brakes on those are strong, even a 50 degree incline doesn't affect it.
i completely agree on the default brake setting and the TT02 combo. the TBLE02S also had a similar setting but my radio isnt the fancy digital controllers so i cant do much outside of bump reverse to slow it down faster. i just installed the HW1060 a few minutes ago.
I run this ESC in my SCX 10 Scale Crawler till over 10 years .I do most Trail driving but also with some very difficult rock crawling spots and i love "submerging" my truck too. Easy installation powerfull drag brake (nose stands no problem) ha ha. No problem till 10 years of trailing fun. There no other crawling options than forward /reverse drag brake but i like how it work.If you want way more options buy the Hobby Wing 1080.
I bought on of those for my Daughters Tamiya Konghead, running 2S & either a Tamiya Torque Tuned motor or my vintage Trinity Speed Gems 2 Quarts 19x2 motor. no problem so far. Great video my friend. Good info.
@@johandriehuizen9282 Yes, if the esc has it (the newer ones don't I think). However, it's always wise to use lipo cutoff or a low voltage alarm when using lipo packs.
Bought this for a drift car, hopefully it works enough (HPI E10 NISSAN R32). My old EN1 died when the motor stopped working (checked the motor, works). Hopefully I get it running enough to function with this... 😅
What causes the red to blink as soon as you turn the switch on? I have a brand new one and it does nothing, maybe the nimh battery pack is low on charge..and yes it's on NIMH jumper
Hi, friend! can i install the hobbywing 1060 variator on a 1/18 or 1/16 car with a 370-380-390 motor? my fear is burning the engine, can it be installed without burning the engine? 
I bought one for my rock crawler running a 2s battery with a 550 brushed motor and it keeps burning my motors up in about 5 mins of running time afraid to put a 3s battery thinking it might burn up every thing so far went through 4 motors
If you're burning up motors there may be some resistance in the drivetrain (dirt or rust in the bearings perhaps). If there was a problem with the ESC the ESC would burn out before the motor. As for 3s I think technically it's capable of it but I would just keep it to 2s for reliability
@@TheTobyT It was fast enough to be fun without coming into danger of shattering your shins lol. The only issue was the ESC brakes are so weak it makes it nervous to drive in a small area
Hi bro great video as it covers the 1060 I have in my Amp mt problem i have is no matter how i put the jumper plugs on i cant get reverse out of my car can you make any suggestions
If you don't wish to solder, you can get Tamiya (Molex) to Deans adapters online or you can take it to your local RC hobby shop and they will solder on a Deans plug for you! The ESC itself doesn't include any adapters though if that is what you are asking.
@@chibiskyrc best i can say is if I have to car off thr ground it works and as soon as I try to drive on the floor at more then half throttle it will cut out the seed control and all I see it a red flashing light then I havr to switch it off and on again and will work just can't go past half throttle
@@bigblockbumpside2296 That’s the problem. You don’t know for sure until you get it in your hands. The real one has the logo, comes with printed instructions and even has decals. The ads sure sound good and then it fails as soon as you apply power. Buy from a legit dealer/ hobby shop. I lost a good 25% from what I had at the top end with the cheap ESC that came with my buggy from the 1060. I am NOT happy with it!
@@johnc3695 The bec is a separate component built in to the esc to control the servos and radio. 2a is really cutting it short for most applications, 3a is a normal draw for a couple servos and leds and receiver all running.

When you run 2 s ,, do you have to change that pin on the esc?
@@johandriehuizen9282 Yes, if the esc has it (the newer ones don't I think). However, it's always wise to use lipo cutoff or a low voltage alarm when using lipo packs.
I like the old school Tamiya kits and NIMH batteries too .
I did some checking and Hobbywing is definitely based out of Japan,Tawain,Spain,Turkey or Yugoslavia,or maybe USA.

What risks with lipo are you speaking of? Long as you have a cutoff you're good!

Ordered one today for my TT-02 with a HPI 15t motor - excited to test it out, but I hope they have fixed the braking.
That's where I initially used it too with the same 15T setup
@@chibiskyrc How did you like the 15T setup?
@@TheTobyT It was fast enough to be fun without coming into danger of shattering your shins lol. The only issue was the ESC brakes are so weak it makes it nervous to drive in a small area
Is there a forward reverse delay mate
Bought this for my Sakura CS and my redcat receiver doesnt get drive/brake. It only works of its backwards with servo in ch2 or drive/brake in ch1.
Hi bro great video as it covers the 1060 I have in my Amp mt problem i have is no matter how i put the jumper plugs on i cant get reverse out of my car can you make any suggestions
How do you go about programming this ESC?
Can u use any RTR transmitter?
These have bad quality control. Kinda gamble if it works or not. Could it be that the caps are bad quality/low capacity..
Get the 1080 for the CC-01.
That's what im running already
Thanks for this video! How to do you bind this ESC to a transmitter? I didn't see this covered here. I'm using it with a Spektrum DX5C.
I'm not convinced that this is an ESC/receiver combo. I think you still need to provide a radio receiver.
Dude you don't bind a ESC to a transmiter,....... YOU BIND THE TRANSMITTER TO THE RECIVER.......DA!!!!
Does it work for a boat?
Hi! That "biiip" sound when you use remote trigger Is normal? Can be eliminated? Thanks
That is the sound the motor is making naturally as part of how it functions. It cannot be turned off
Great video! How can I connect mine to my deans battery connection? Surely there should be an adapter? I don’t want to have to solder anything

@@chibiskyrc thanks!!!
good review
What. Crawler benefits from lipos just cause they're lighter, let alone more powerful and generally last longer. Oh and lipos are cheaper then NiMH
Support 12,6volt ?
I installed mine and it reverses really slow and it takes 1 to 2 seconds to start reversing.
Is this ESC has drag brake feature for rock crawling?
Yes
From my understanding there is a lipo low voltage alarm built into the ESC, has anyone found this? Is there a way to set the low voltage level etc
It has a built in LiPo cut off yes. Switch the jumper plug on it to LiPo mode
Mine keeps going into limp mode.. common prob with these apparently
I have to same one and it keeps cutting out and will only work if I drive very slow 🐌 any one know how to fix it
What battery are you using? The ESC has an internal voltage protection to save itself if the battery is too powerful
Its a 2s lipo
@@scottwilson9944 that's strange. It should run 2s lipo fine.. could u give me more information on the running conditions?

Im getting flashing red light cuts out after few seconds

How can you tell the difference?

What is the controller that your using
It's a discontinued Spektrum radio
its okay if i use 3S lipo battery?
Yes
Is that the new 1060 version with 3amps bec?
I'm not sure. It's whatever version that was in production at the time of the video
That’s 60A esc’s that’s why it’s called 1060

What kind of battery did you use
6 cell NiMH
@@chibiskyrc is it really fast
Is it pretty fast because I'm building a boat

Chinese company i am pretty sure.
It's made in china, ive bought a couple of the brushless ones.
id lay money on china....
Will that work on an 8 turn motor ?
The motor limit for 2s is 12turn and for 3s is 18 turn although i would not advice you to use 3s on a brushed motor.
