5. Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion
The QuicRun Fusion Pro is the evolution and improvement of Hobbywing's first 2-in-1 combo, the standard QuicRun Fusion. It provides a space-saving and lightweight motor and controller in one unit for 1/10 crawlers. Now even stronger and better. Often, space in the vehicle is limited, and there is little room to neatly organize the various cables. But that is finally a thing of the past. With a length of just 58 mm, it is only as large as a typical motor and weighs only 209 g, making it hard to believe that a motor and controller are combined here. Thanks to the intelligent torque and speed control, a crawler with this combo can easily adapt to any situation. Of course, the Fusion Pro is equipped with an excellent waterproof and dustproof casing. This means that the fun truly knows no bounds. Even the electronic switch is appropriately protected. The technology used is called FOC (Field-Oriented Control) and is responsible for this superb driving feel. The performance of this drive has increased by a remarkable 8% compared to its predecessor, and power consumption has even been reduced by 30%. This results in less battery capacity being used and extended driving time.
Features:
- 2-in-1: Motor and controller combined in one
- Compact design ideal for saving space and reducing weight
- Noticeable performance improvement
- FOC drive, ideal for crawlers
- 3 operating modes: Normal (Forward, Reverse with brake), Normal (Forward, Reverse).
6. Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion Combo
The future is here, as Hobbywing introduces the QuicRun Fusion, the first motor for 1/10 rock crawlers that features an integrated controller. Often, space in the vehicle is limited, leaving little room to neatly arrange the various cables. But that is finally a thing of the past. Just about the size of a typical 550 motor and weighing 210 g, you won't even notice that the motor and controller are combined. Thanks to the intelligent torque and speed control, a crawler can easily adapt to any situation. This combination is supported by an excellent waterproof and dustproof casing, ensuring that the fun knows no bounds. Even the electronic switch is appropriately protected. The technology used is called FOC (Field-Oriented Control) and is responsible for this superb control feel. With sinusoidal motor control, both the controller and motor stay cooler, resulting in a silky smooth and quiet motor operation.
7. Hobbywing Brushless drive set Quicrun Fusion SE 1200 kV, Crawler
