REVIEW: Hobbywing EZRUN 18A Mini Brushless ESC (Electronic Speed Controller)

The hobbywing EZRUN 18A is an excellent way to upgrade your mini to brushless power!

In this video we'll take a quick look at the Hobbywing EZRUN 18A Mini Brushless ESC, and install in a Team Losi Mini-B 1/16 scale buggy.

What a nice video. It was quiet when it was good to be, you are very direct and clear, I like it.

Before pressing the double sided adhesive tape into place, I clean both of the plastic surfaces with isopropyl alcohol (it dries very quickly). Make sure the components are aligned correctly before assembly. They will not come apart easily.

Great video! I just picked up 2 of the 5200kv combos for my jrx2 mini and my father in laws mini b, cant wait to see how they do!

I'm here looking around for something like this for a 1/18 sandy land truck from Amazon its my first rc which I started in the hobby I have more rc cars and I see this little guy with no electronics.

The Hobbywing ESC you used might be designed for a crawler and the instant brake might be set to on. Just something you could check. I installed a Castle Mamba micro into mine and i adjusted a number of my perimeters using my PC like throttle ramp up and adjusted my LVC to 3.4 volts per cell. Im currently waiting for my motor to get here as the combo i bought had a motor i thought would fit, but doesnt. It is i think 30 millimeters in diameter and sensored. The motor ive got coming is 20 mm and unsensored. The sensored motor is a 2850 kv which is probably slow for the mini b but ive never owned a mini until i received this one to know if thats the case. The unsensored motor ive got coming is a 8200 kv. I figure i can gear down a few teeth if i need to. Better than gearing up it seems with this platform. The smallest overall sized RC ive had till this point was the DB Pro (even if some people call it 1/8th scale) is supposed to be a 1/10th scale. Next biggest is a TRX4 and on up to my 1/5th scales. I never initially was going to buy one of this size but Horizon Hobbies had a good sale going on and i was able to use my rewards points on top of it so i couldnt pass it up. I already enjoy Losi products anyways, so whats another, right? Lol

Where did u get the coloured nuts from?

What are the specs of your motor? I have this esc and wondering if it will handle a 2445 3000kv motor

[dimitar.m.]

What type of connector was the green one on the esc?

[andyhelfenstein]

Hi thanks for your video. Can this setup use a 3s with the 7800kv and 18a esc. Only negative seems to be the instant breaking can you solve that with the program card that comes with it. If ran it on a track with the instant break would drive me nuts. Otherwise the Dynamite 6000kv seems more dialed out of the box but can't tune it?

Dynamite 2 in 1 might have been a better choice
