Hobbywing EZRun Max8 G2 Waterproof Brushless ESC w/XT90 Plug
Was a 5 star ESC till it spewed black smoke and blew fire out it's side like a blow torch. I got it June 26 so it's 90 days are up, warranties over. I replaced it with a Castle Mamba 8s. Very disappointed.

I was dumb enough to buy a second one. Plugged into a Hobbywing 2250kv motor so the system is matched. When first plugged in and floored it won't go faster than a crawl for about 10 seconds then it takes off. At half trigger it drives fine at this point, when floored it cogs and hops like there's a short in the esc. I dug an old monster 2 esc out of my junk bin and now the truck works perfectly.

I was dumb enough to buy another one so I get what I deserve.

This is the only model of Hobbywing esc that I have ever had an issue with. Hobbywing did warranty it reasonably fast. Sold it on Ebay, now I'm happy.

Great transaction love working with Amain always a pleasure! ESC was all I hoped for worked great! Had to shin up to make sensor wire clear center drive shaft but otherwise fit great in my TEKNO MT410!!

Hobbywing EZRun Max8 G2 Waterproof Brushless ESC w/XT90 Plug
This is a great esc! I wanted something a little smaller and lighter than the typical MAX6 for my 1/8 Kraton EXB and decided to try this esc paired with a Hobbystar 4091 1730kv motor. The other reason I wanted this esc over the MAX6 is the 8.4v BEC for my HV brushless servo. The max temperature I've recorded on the esc was around 135° and that was with a chassis shroud on in 85° weather. it's very smooth and has great programming options. Also came with the sticker for the programming card for this specific ESC which was a nice bonus.

Hobbywing EZRun Max8 G2 Waterproof Brushless ESC w/XT90 Plug
Installed into a traxxas maxx because the stock esc left the chat twice and it seems to be a good choice can still run 3s Al the way up to 6s. Only modifications I made were soldering new connections on/ deleted the series adapter to run a single battery. I also soldered on connectors to the battery terminals so I can direct power the maxx lights without the maxx light distribution box/ no brake/reverse light, but that’s just a luxury.
