    Works nice on 2S Lipo. I did need to set my transmitter to invert the forward/backward control to get the fwd/rev/brake mode to work.

    About 3 months ago, I Bought 1 & it was DOA. I contacted amazon about this, & they easily replaced the first & told me to keep the other also. Later I found the issue of the esc not turning on due to a loose power line. The 2nd replacement was the exact same issue ironically. So it went great for awhile, but last night as I was prepping my SCX24 for a new servo coming, i only relocated the esc further back & no wire adjustments. Reinspected everything verifying it was good, & it was great. Turned it on, (only motor connected) & it was working fine. Throttle fwd, a couple feet at very low speed, & it suddenly stopped. I tried again, it made a chime I've never heard from this esc before. It was a 3 chime tune, but in a different note. I was puzzled. I tried hitting the throttle once more this time all the way, & suddenly it went up in smoke & I quickly disconnected it from the battery, chucking the battery through my window & into the neighbor's kitchen window shattering it in the process. I shrugged it off & inspected the esc, it was hot as I was in highschool! Minus the smell of burnt wiring. I later plugged in a new fully charged battery (2s), & it made a sizzling sound along with smoke again! So I know now its grounding somewhere within but idk yet exactly where. Tonight I'll be performing an autopsy to find the cause of death. As for the 2nd replacement, it oddly gave out when I connected it to a 5V 2A power source. I'll take the blame on that even if the specs say it can handle 6V @3A. I'll recommend it if you have cool neighbors & quick thinking in the event the chime of death occurs. As for now, I'll be going back to my chinese 30A, bidirectional, cheap, esc which is also another notoriously known esc for fire & burning up. I've found the issue earlier & fixed about 2 of them I had laying around. I'll probably purchase a pack of 4 of those incase my neighbor needs an esc for the battery I chucked over (which was still fine btw) so I know this esc has some sort of battery protection system judging by similar stories about others with a fried esc.

    Nice speed controller. On off switch does not fit Tamiya Hot Shot.

    IF you get a good one these work great. IF you have gotten a bad one you have 2 choices, buy something else or PAY Hobbywing for another one! Hobbywing thinks the products they sell are all flawless and cannot fail. If they do fail they claim it wasn't the product they made, it was another factor or user error. Do not waste your time contacting them for warranty! Just buy something else or buy another and hope for the best!Other than horrible customer service the 1060 ESC works great unless you get a defective one. Using in a crawler on 3S without issue, same crawler the first 1060 melted in running 2S. They claim it's not a defective ESC.
