Just ordered this combo with a Kyosho Beetle and Futaba 3PV. Black Friday deals on a budget! Can't wait to get it! I had the Assault as a kid, this is my first brushless set up almost 40 years later! Hard to pass up an $85 combo that reviews this well. Hoping for a cool, reliable 35mph. Ideally I'd like to tune it down to 80% for longevity and it still be a ripper!
@@arkyrc why would you have to get a bigger pinion? The motor alone is faster than the titan motor. I would think you'd have a higher chance of cogging with the 4000kv with a bigger pinion. Im getting cogging with the 17 tooth pinion on the 4x4 slash with the 3250kv motor!
@@MyKonaRC The brushless setup runs much cooler than the 12T with the stock pinion. Gearing up gives me more speed. So far I've experienced no cogging. Great little Esc / Motor combo.
I installed one of these in my Bomber with the bigger 3660 motor and it's FANTASTIC! Best Upgrade I ever made. I like that you can tell when you start 'warming it up' when the fan comes on.
Always great informative videos ..thank you.. so i cant seem to find out what kv i should run in my 2wd slash and then also my 4×4 slash. I would very much appreciate any advice.
Would the 4000kv be too much (get too hot) for the Traxxas Slash 4X4 with regular gearing? (13/54) Would it be better to get the 3250kv motor instead? UPDATE: I got the 3250kv motor, its great(for the most part) for the 4x4 slash! Running stock gearing 13/54 the motor gets fairly warm to the touch 40c - 50c. As compared to the Traxxas Velineon 3500 motor, it would be really hot! The one downside with the Hobbywing 3250kv motor is it sucks back the battery faster than the Traxxas Velineon 3500. I am getting about 1/2 to 3/4 the run time as I would with the Traxxas motor, and this is with 0 timing, no drag brake too! Wonder if I should have went with the 4000kv motor instead? Final note - I had to reverse two of the motor wires A to C and C to A. I did the set up with throttle first then brake. When I pulled the trigger the car wanted to reverse, so I swapped A cable with C.
Hey nice video Charlie! I want this for my Arrma gorgon, this video has helped a lot but the only thing is my batteries have an ec3 plug, do they sell adapters to convert so I don't have to buy new batteries ?
Same with me. I have it sitting in my amazon cart for my gorgon, and im only hesitating because of the battery connection. I know i can cut and resolder a new connection but id rather not if theres an adapter.
I want to install this system with the 4000kv motor in my Rlaarlo Ak-787. I am looking for general runs and some mild speed runs. Will this system have plenty of speed and torque for this 1/10 touring car?
So if I have a 4000 kv motor of the timing is at 0 will I get 4000kv and if I turn the timing up I’ll get more kv? Or do I have to have the timing in the medium setting to get the rated 4000 KV the motor has?
Everything worked. So I mounted it. Sat it down to try it. Quit working. Now when I turn it on, it just continuously double beeps and double blinks red. There is no steering now either, but even if I unplug the receiver, the esc still just keeps beeping and blinking.

@@HOBBYWINGOfficial bro, thanks for getting back to me. I figured it out. My battery was bad somehow. I am happy to report that it exceeds expectations! 3700kv in the gorgon with a 17t pinion and stock spur gear is an absolute blast! I would highly suggest this to anyone. I hope this motor and esc last for a long time. I was building this for my nephew, but it's mine now. Thanks again
hello friend ! What do you think of this new esc 10bl120g2? And is it really good? Is the programming card the same as the previous model? I'm wanting to buy this new version of the 10bl120 g2.
I would get the program card, it's the same as Castle Creations and their computer plug-in system but without the need of a laptop or desktop to make changes.
Because the LED box is just better I guess. I owned both at one point and just found myself only carrying the LED. The LED one even works with the max5 g2
It definitely does, it's usually most noticeable as you apply the initial throttle. Annoyingly lots of RTR vehicles actually don't come calibrated properly, not sure how they calibrate them in China but more often than not they are not done right
Hi 🙂 i got a udi 1202 brushless and i want to upgrade to brushless, but the motorshaft on the new motor is 5mm and the stock pinion gear is 3mm or 3.17! Im new at the hobby so not sure! The motor is a 3660 Surpass! What pinion do i need? Plz help me 🙏🏼 Love Rc Stuff podcast ☺️
I have a slash 4x4 with the max 10 sct combo i upgraded so much i built another slash 4x4 out of spare parts and i pit in a 3670 motor in it but does this esc handle a 3670 motor?
@@RyanLeaym The punch setting might be turned down or a setting on your radio needs to be adjusted. Turn up the setting using the program card if you have one. I had to reverse my wires too, I switched A with C.
@@Jeremy-yi9rg I got the 3250kv motor, its enough power to get up and going. Can't imagine a high geared 4000kv motor would like to start slow. I am cogging with the 3250kv with 17t pinion on a slash 4x4 from a stand still.
Great Clarification for the newbie thank you
I was looking to change my combo from my Slash Ultimate rig, now I found it, thanks for sharing, great combo !
What did you go with? And how is it doing?

Great overview. I just bought the 4000kv version to replace the 12T Titan in my Rustler. Just waiting for it arrive. Thanks!
Is it a 4x4? How is it running?
2wd...runs really strong. Had to go with a bigger pinion though. @@Arturito2017

This is the one! Gonna throw it in an AE SCT to see if it can hang with the big boys. Thanks for the post.
What combo did you go with ?
can you tune this without the card like the old escs? by holding down the set button and counting along the beeps

The higher the kv the faster battery drain I believe.
Is the G1 still better for 3s speed runs because you are not limited to the 4mm bullet connectors and as they have the same power handling ability?

Buy all the connectors you need to adapt and use a small bit of wire and make your own adapters saves some money
I'm not certain the fan on the esc is temp sensitive. My fan starts up and continuously runs at power on
mine as well
Mine too, I think it suppose to run all the time. Nothing wrong with that.
@@MyKonaRC yeah its pretty quiet as far as these small fans go
Nice 👍🏾 Great review 💯
I want to install this system with the 4000kv motor in my Rlaarlo Ak-787. I am looking for general runs and some mild speed runs. Will this system have plenty of speed and torque for this 1/10 touring car?
Is an xt60 connector for this 120amp esc ok?, I'm curious.
Will this esc work on a trx4?
Looking for a waterproof brushless setup for my hotshot II. Any suggestions? Would this setup work?
I was able to use the OTA on my phone, must have had an update huh? I even have a screenshot of the settings
So if I have a 4000 kv motor of the timing is at 0 will I get 4000kv and if I turn the timing up I’ll get more kv? Or do I have to have the timing in the medium setting to get the rated 4000 KV the motor has?
You'll get a bit more speed but not too much, maybe a few extra mph / kph
Will it work with the PRO Pprogram box?
What kv would tou use for 4s

Yes, it will work, just updated.
does this work with the hobbywing app?
no😔
on blizzy i put this in my slash w a 13 tooth pinion and never had an issue never once tuned it either straight up threw it in and ran it
Do i have to use the program card, Or can i get it running based on the default setting?
Almost any ESC in the entire line up, works fine on default settings. Tuning is often not at all required, or needed.
@@HOBBYWINGOfficial thanks
I would get the program card, it's the same as Castle Creations and their computer plug-in system but without the need of a laptop or desktop to make changes.
I see the 2600kv rating on 4s, will 2400kv have any effects?
What suitable program card...?
is there a way to increase max reverse force without a programming card?
A program device is required.
Can you use the Port for the Programming Box for a Fan?
The programming port runs from the BEC power. It can be used for simple fans and lights, but is not rated or spec'd to have a load.
Can you use a 60 amp on 3s with a 3650 5200kv
The LCD box doesn't work?! Why not?
it works with the new lcd box pro
Because the LED box is just better I guess. I owned both at one point and just found myself only carrying the LED. The LED one even works with the max5 g2
So can the Esc run 11.1V?
Yes it can, 2S (7.4) and 3S (11.1)
You guys are awesome.
Why have I never felt the need to program any of my ecs to throttle? I've done it afterwards with no noticeable differences. Hmmm
Some radios can be very close to the testing setup the ESC has. They all get tested, and calibrated before packaging.
It definitely does, it's usually most noticeable as you apply the initial throttle. Annoyingly lots of RTR vehicles actually don't come calibrated properly, not sure how they calibrate them in China but more often than not they are not done right
could i run a 2850 4800kv with this ? on 3s

Try 5mm with a bigger pinion gear
How about this ESC work for 1800 KV revolver for crawler

Hello G
Would you know why the new quicrun system is faster in reverse than forward 10bl120 3700kv combo
Thanks for sharing G
It's wired in reverse.
Do you know which ABC wires to switch? I switched a and c. It goes fast in forward now, but it still has like a delay taking off. Then it flies.
@@RyanLeaym The punch setting might be turned down or a setting on your radio needs to be adjusted. Turn up the setting using the program card if you have one.
I had to reverse my wires too, I switched A with C.
So can be used on sct with 3660 motor..only thing the kv is not high enuf for 3660 motor..
Depends on the application really. Some SCT's are fine with 3652 (540) motors, some really need the 3660 (550) size.
@@HOBBYWINGOfficialso for a slash 4x4 that only weighs 5lb or (2.5kg) would you go with the 4000kv 3652 or the 3700kv 3660?
