QUICRUN 16BL30
The QUICRUN 16BL30 is an electronic speed controller (ESC) from Hobbywing's QUICRUN series, designed for 1/16 and 1/18 scale RC cars. It’s a reliable and affordable ESC, primarily aimed at entry-level hobbyists and smaller-scale RC models.
Key Features of the QUICRUN 16BL30:
-
Scale: Designed for 1/16 and 1/18 scale RC cars, which are smaller and lighter, requiring a compact and lower-power ESC.
-
Brushless ESC: The 16BL30 is a sensorless brushless ESC, which provides better efficiency, longer run times, and less maintenance compared to brushed alternatives.
-
30A Current Rating: The 30A rating allows it to handle moderate power levels suitable for smaller RC models without overheating or shutting down during normal use.
-
Wide Compatibility: It supports both 2S and 3S LiPo batteries, as well as NiMH battery packs, giving flexibility depending on the performance level required.
-
Programmable: The 16BL30 can be programmed via Hobbywing’s programming card or a box, allowing for adjustments like throttle response, brake force, and drag brake settings.
-
Waterproof Design: It is designed to handle moderate moisture and dirt, making it suitable for off-road and outdoor use, though it’s not meant for fully submerged conditions.
-
Compact Size: Given its intended use for smaller-scale RC vehicles, the ESC is compact and lightweight, ensuring it fits easily in limited space within 1/16 or 1/18 scale chassis.
-
Overheat and Overcurrent Protection: It includes safety features like thermal protection and overcurrent protection, which help prevent damage to the ESC during heavy use or if the motor is overloaded.
The QUICRUN 16BL30 is a great choice for hobbyists running smaller RC cars, especially those looking for a reliable, brushless ESC that offers good performance for off-road and on-road racing. It balances affordability and functionality, making it ideal for beginners or anyone upgrading from a brushed setup.
