5. 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 very 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, allowing for limitless fun. Even the electronic switch is appropriately protected. The technology used is called FOC (Field-Oriented-Control), which is responsible for this superb control feel. With sinusoidal motor control, both the controller and motor remain cooler, achieving a silky smooth and quiet motor operation.
6. Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion
The QuicRun Fusion Pro is the evolution and improvement of Hobbywing's first 2-in-1 combo, the standard Quicrun Fusion. 1/10 crawlers now benefit from a space- and weight-saving motor and controller combined into one unit. Now even stronger and better. 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. With a length of only 58 mm, which is just about the size of a typical motor, and a weight of only 209 g, you won't even notice that the motor and controller are combined. 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 control feel. The power of this drive has increased by a solid 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
- Compact design ideal for saving space and reducing weight
- Noticeable power improvement
- FOC drive, ideal for crawlers
- 3 operating modes: Normal (Forward, Reverse with Brake), Normal (Forward, Reverse).
