Hobbywing Xerun XR10 Pro WP Brushless ESC Waterproof 160A, 2s LiPo - Silver

The XR10 Pro WP is an ideal controller for various 1/10 racing situations as well as for touring cars and has been improved to the latest state of the art with a number of technical innovations. These include, for example, the intelligent fan, which only cools when it is really necessary. This saves power and ensures that the controller always runs at the best possible temperature. Equipped with a 32-bit M4 microprocessor, the data processing performance is also greatly increased, which means that the controller not only reacts faster, but can also perform more complex and accurate data calculations. And with the built-in switchable BEC, even servos that normally require higher voltages can be used.

The controller is compatible with a wide range of programming options, but you can get the most out of it with the OTA programming module and a smartphone. Thanks to the real-time data recording , you have access to information about how the throttle, voltage, temperatures and speed behaved during the last ride, allowing you to identify potential problems and avoid them on the next ride. At the same time, the controller can also be programmed quickly and easily via Bluetooth using your own smartphone.
For example, simply enjoy the ride with the integrated softening function, which can be adapted to the desired riding experience depending on your personal settings. Even the throttle response can be finely adjusted within a curve range of -10 to +10. And if things get wild, riders of the XR10 Pro WP can benefit from maximized braking power of up to 150%.

Stay cool and have fun while being in full control.

Electronic speed controllers in RC model making - more control, more driving fun

Electronic speed controllers (ESC for short - Electronic Speed Controller) are the heart of modern RC models. Whether it's an RC car, airplane, helicopter or boat - speed and handling cannot be optimally controlled without a precise speed controller. In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about the functions, advantages and selection criteria of electronic speed controllers for RC model making.

What is an electronic speed controller?

An electronic speed controller controls the speed of the electric motor in a remote-controlled model. It receives signals from the receiver and regulates the power transmitted to the motor accordingly. This allows you to accelerate, brake and (with bidirectional controllers) reverse with precision.

Modern ESCs also offer numerous additional functions such as

• Soft start for smooth starting

• Brake modes (e.g. drag brake for crawlers)

• Motor timing for fine-tuned performance

• LiPo undervoltage protection for battery safety

Brushed or brushless - which type of speed controller is the right one?

With electronic speed controllers, a distinction is made between brushed controllers for brushed motors and brushless controllers for brushless motors.

Brushed ESC

• Simple construction

• Less expensive

• Suitable for beginners

Brushless ESC

• Higher efficiency

• More power and durability

• Ideal for ambitious pilots and racers

Important: Brushed and brushless systems are not compatible with each other. Therefore, make sure that the speed controller and motor are compatible.

Important criteria when buying an ESC

When buying an electronic speed controller for your RC model, you should consider the following aspects:

• Current carrying capacity (amperes): Must match the power consumption of the motor

• Number of cells (S): Compatibility with the battery used (e.g. 2S, 3S LiPo)

• Operating mode: Forward / reverse / brake - depending on the intended use

• Programming: Many high-quality ESCs can be individually configured via program card or software

Conclusion: The right speed controller makes all the difference

A high-quality electronic speed controller noticeably optimizes the handling of your RC model . Whether you are looking for a powerful brushless system for high-speed racing or a sensitive controller for scale models - with the right choice, you will get the most out of your vehicle.

Tip: Look for brand quality from proven manufacturers such as Hobbywing or Cayote to ensure long-term fun and reliability.
