Hobbywing 150A Ezrun esc review

[nusti]

I run the 2350 kv model in my emaxx with a HW150A. The first one i blew up in 5 minutes of runtime, probably a mounting mistake. I may have used mounting screws that were too long and that bent the inner wire wich in their turn shorted with the magnet. Or just a production failure :)

Anyway I got a new motor from HW (GREAT service) en used shorter mounting screws. I had three runs up to now. One to test if everything works and two runs at full power. Constant high speedruns/full throttle in a park on long grass. I use a 21/62 gearing and 2X 2s2p 5100maH 25C lipo packs. The runtime was 13 minutes. the motor didn't get warmer then 51 degrees centigrade. This is with a heatsink and fan. The lipo got handwarm as did the ESC.
I think it's a great motor for bashing and it's a cheap setup. For racing I will use a medusa

I want a look inside the HW motors myself. My buddy wants a budget buffy system, so he may get the HW80 and one of the motors, probably the longer model, should handle the heat better?
