The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Experience Elite Brushless Performance in 1:28 Scale! After much anticipation in the small-scale community, Hobbywing has delivered a masterpiece. The EzRun 1626 Sensored Motor (5000KV) isn’t just another motor—it is a ground-up, purpose-built brushless platform designed specifically for the unique demands of micro racing. At Hobby Hideaway, we know our racers want precision without sacrificing power, and the 1626 nails that balance. With its ultra-light 18g profile and incredible sensor fidelity, this is the motor that will define the next chapter of our 1:28 scale racing scene here in Ottawa.
Innovative Engineering & "Low-Profile" Performance Hobbywing focused on three core pillars: simplicity, high efficiency, and smooth response. The 1626 features a 2-pole sensored design that delivers explosive corner speed and zero-cogging performance. By using high-end internal components and a modular structure, Hobbywing has kept the motor running cool even during intense heats. Most impressively, the 5000KV rating provides a high-RPM punch that, when paired with the Mini28 ESC, allows the car to maintain a massive top-speed advantage while keeping handling predictable and linear.
