Perfect little combo for the mini b. The program card is also a plus and easy to use.

Hobbywing EZRun 18A Sensorless Brushless ESC/Motor Combo (18.0T/5200kV)
Installed this in my kids' Axial Yeti Jr. 1/18. Purchased the RRP1199 Robinson Racing reducer sleeve for 1/8" to 2mm and a RRP1015 Robinson Racing 3.17mm bore 48P 15T steel spur gear. Also installed an old Spektrum receiver that I had left over from my crawler, which can bind to the Yeti's controller/transmitter. Got everything running and dialed in, turned all the speed settings down on the ESC with the programmer card to reduce chances of stripping gears or snapping axles since I was running on a 3S lipo. Ran it around in the house to test it for about 15min and all seemed good. Took it out in the backyard which is very short grass and dirt. After about 10min the motor started smoking. Unplugged it and let it cool down for 30min. Plugged it back in and the motor sputtered really bad and started smoking again in less than 30sec. As other reviewers have said, I don't think this motor is meant for anything that requires torque. I think the motor is meant more for airplanes or possibly higher revving racers or drift RCs with slick tires. The motor seems to rev way too high for the Yeti Jr. and can not handle much load. I am going to try the Hobbywing QuicRun 2435SL 1/18 Brushless Motor (4500kV) and see if that performs better for the Yeti Jr. If the ESC holds up at least to the new motor then I may add a star or two to my rating. But I can't recommend this combo for any 1/18 scale bashers. I'll try to update this review after I install the new motor.

Update: AMain customer support reached out to me and confirmed this motor was not a good combo for my setup. Without even asking, they gave me a full refund on this item and recommended the CSE010-0169-01 Castle Mamba Micro X2 1/18th brushless combo (4100Kv). I ordered that and a RRP1012 Robinson Racing steel 48P 12T pinion gear. With the new combo setup my yeti jr. runs great. Better acceleration, higher top speed, and longer run times compared to the NiMH batteries on stock setup. Running 3s I would definitely recommend gearing down as low as possible. I didn't get to try the HW 2435SL 4500Kv motor with HW EZRun ESC but I am pretty confident it would've worked as long as I ran the 12T pinion. Also realized the 3s "lipo" battery I was running was an LiHV which runs slightly higher voltage levels compared to a normal lipo. So that probably didn't help my initial setup. Overall, this EZRun ESC seems pretty capable but the motor seems pretty light duty. Very functional for the right setup but not for mine. But AMain customer service has come through above and beyond my expectations, yet again. I hope this review will help another customer choose the right parts for their build.

Hobbywing EZRun 18A Sensorless Brushless ESC/Motor Combo (18.0T/5200kV)
I bought this combo with the intention of using with the 1/18 yeti jr, but this motor shaft doesn’t have a flat spot to mount a pinion on so it’s hard to keep a pinion on with any real resistance without the pinion coming off. This might work well for something like a mini b, but nothing that will require torque / resistance that will come with off-roading / bashing.

Hobbywing EZRun 18A Sensorless Brushless ESC/Motor Combo (18.0T/5200kV)
Great little brushless motor and ESC for a Losi Mini-B with plenty of power. The program card is a bonus too. My son loves this combo in our Mini-B. We’ve been running it for over 6 months now with no issues on 2s power. We have not used 3s power and I do not recommend you do or you risk cooking the ESC. We clocked our Losi Mini-B at 27 MPH with our GPS on 2s power with this motor, and the motor and ESC only get warm after a normal bashing run. Make sure you put the lipo cutoff on high because medium, and obviously low are too low and will eventually damage the lipo battery. Not having a flat spot for a pinion grub screw has not been an issue for us.

Hobbywing EZRun 18A Sensorless Brushless ESC/Motor Combo (18.0T/5200kV)
This is an airplane motor! with no flat ground into the shaft, no way to hold the pinion on. Not for a 18th scale miniB or miniT or any other ground vehicle, that takes a set screw pinion.
