Hobbywing have released their new and improved Xerun 1/8th scale brushless speed controllers. Available in 80A and 150A, the former is perfect for buggy and truggy use, while the latter is mainly used for monster trucks that need power on demand as well as 1/5th scale Baja conversions. Both run the new 608 software for lower rpm torque and both come with an LCD programmer box.

All new and redesigned from the ground up, the new Speed Passion Silver Arrow II 1/8th ESC can handle the punishment and harsh conditions of any 8th scale on road or off road application. The compact low profile design, with no external capacitor, is a breeze to fit in your buggy or truggy, and the integrated hard anodized heatsink keeps the Silver Arrow II cool under the toughest racing pressure. It will runs any sensored or sensorless motor with what they claim is the smoothest feel you’ll ever experience in brushless 1/8th racing. A small footprint of L45 x W58 x H30mm, it supports up to 4 cell LiPo with 3000KV motor.
