EZRUN MAX 5 HV G2
The Hobbywing EZRUN MAX 5 HV G2 ESC is a heavy-duty electronic speed controller designed for 1/5 scale and other large-scale RC vehicles. It’s built to handle massive power demands and is perfect for big bashing trucks, monster trucks, truggies, and even on-road large-scale vehicles that require extreme durability, power, and control. The G2 version brings several improvements, including better efficiency, stronger performance, and advanced features like wireless programming, making it one of the most powerful ESCs available for large-scale RC vehicles.
Key Features of the Hobbywing EZRUN MAX 5 HV G2 ESC:
-
Massive Power Handling:
- The MAX 5 HV G2 is built to handle continuous currents of 250A and peak currents up to 1300A, making it one of the most powerful ESCs available. It supports up to 12S LiPo (50V), which makes it ideal for 1/5 scale vehicles that demand extreme power for high-speed runs or large-scale bashing.
-
FOC (Field-Oriented Control) Technology:
- The ESC features Field-Oriented Control (FOC) technology, which provides smooth power delivery and enhanced control at all speeds, particularly at lower RPMs. This makes it ideal for large trucks or buggies that require fine control for navigating rough terrain or technical sections.
-
Supports Both Sensored and Sensorless Motors:
- The MAX 5 HV G2 supports both sensored and sensorless brushless motors, providing versatility for a wide range of applications. With a sensored motor, you get precise control, especially at low speeds, which is essential for accurate throttle management in large-scale RC vehicles.
-
Built-in Bluetooth for Wireless Programming:
- The ESC comes with built-in Bluetooth functionality, allowing for wireless programming via the HW Link app on smartphones (iOS and Android). This makes tuning and adjusting settings at the track or bash site incredibly convenient, eliminating the need for a programming card or cables.
-
Super Powerful Adjustable BEC:
- The integrated BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) can be adjusted to provide 6V, 7.4V, or 8.4V output with up to 10A of continuous current. This is perfect for powering high-torque servos and other demanding onboard electronics, ensuring reliable performance for even the largest vehicles.
-
Advanced Thermal Management:
- The ESC features a high-efficiency cooling system, including a large heat sink and a waterproof cooling fan. This ensures that the ESC stays cool even under extreme loads, such as long bashing sessions or high-speed racing. Effective heat dissipation helps maintain optimal performance and prolongs the life of the ESC.
-
Waterproof and Dustproof Design (IP67 Rated):
- The MAX 5 HV G2 is fully waterproof and dustproof, rated IP67. This makes it perfect for bashing in tough environments, such as muddy tracks, water-filled puddles, or dusty off-road terrains. Its rugged design ensures that the ESC can withstand the harshest conditions without any loss in performance.
-
Smart Power Management and Protection Features:
- The ESC is equipped with advanced protection systems, including low-voltage cutoff, overheat protection, overload protection, and motor lock-up protection. These safeguards help protect both the ESC and the motor, especially when running high-powered setups in demanding conditions.
-
Adjustable Throttle and Brake Profiles:
- The EZRUN MAX 5 HV G2 allows for complete customization of throttle and brake profiles. This gives you the ability to fine-tune how your vehicle accelerates, brakes, and responds in different driving scenarios, whether you're running on-road or off-road, bashing, or racing.
-
RPM and Reverse Speed Limits:
- The ESC offers an RPM limit and reverse speed limiting, which can be useful in situations where controlling top speed or reverse speed is important. This is particularly handy for competitive events with class restrictions or when running in more controlled environments.
-
Real-Time Data Logging:
- The ESC is capable of real-time data logging, allowing you to view critical information like current draw, temperature, and motor RPM. This data is invaluable for fine-tuning your setup and ensuring that your ESC and motor are performing optimally.
