About this part
ESC Overview:
EZRun Max8 G2s Brushless ESC. The ESC features three built-in 680uF capacitors, enhancing performance by 74% (870uF) compared to the MAX8 ESC. These large capacitors eliminate the need for external capacitors on your vehicle. It also includes a patented frameless fan design, which rapidly transfers internal heat to the integrated housing radiator. High airflow from the fan's side and a copper thermal conduction sink on the internal power plate ensure efficient cooling. This design maintains the ESC's reliability and optimal thermal condition.

Geat esc used in my v1 traxxas maxx the bluetooth tuning is a very nice feature I would highly recommend this
I am by no means a pro racer but I have been in the hobby off and on for the last 30yrs. The last 10yrs I've been sticking to electric buggies primary the Arrma brand and when I picked up my recent Typhon 6s TLR Roller I just threw in my spare Spektrum 150A ESC & 6S Motor which my all means worked fine for what I do. I decided I wanted to go up a set in quality and try out a sensored ESC & Motor. I bought this Max8 G2S along with their matching 4268sd Motor which unfortunately made my car just a 4s vehicle because of the motors 2500kv rating. So far the build quality and ability to adjust esc settings or do Firmware updates right from my phone is very nice and convenient. The esc and app can also track & display the current Motor temp, ample draw, rpm, etc..., which is very cool and useful but as down as the car gets more than 10ft away it disconnects from esc? So far this has been a great ESC 160A for my TLR Typhon and along with this stuff and adding quality 7075, Titanium & Carbonfiber parts I have shed some weight and even on 4s with a 16t pinion & 40mm fan the motors temp easily stays under 120°F. The 17t pinion heats up little bit more but the 40mm running helps keep that under control & cool. Ive ran about #6 Ovonics 4S 15.2v 140C hard shell battery packs with removable 5mm bullet plugs through this ESC and motor and so far everything's been kosher.
I have not installed the ESC in my RC yet. As soon as I do, I will give a more clear review, but I am happy with my purchase. A main hobbies has always had fast no hassle shipping. The website is easy to navigate and customer support has always been very helpful and willing to answer any questions when I call.
Three verified owners rated this Hobbywing EZRun Max8 G2s 1/8 waterproof brushless ESC 5 out of 5. Reviewers praise the Bluetooth tuning and phone-based settings adjustment and firmware updates, and one describes the build quality as very nice. One reviewer paired it with a matching 4268sd sensored motor rated 2500kv, which they say limited their car to 4S use. One reviewer had not yet installed the unit, so their comment covers the purchase and retailer rather than performance. Reviews are few and mostly brief, so the evidence on long-term performance is limited.
