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 Mini28 ESC isn't just another speed controller—it is a ground-up, purpose-built brushless sensored platform designed specifically for the unique demands of micro racing. At Hobby Hideaway, we know our racers want precision without sacrificing power, and the Mini28 nails that balance. With its featherweight 5g profile and incredible throttle fidelity, this is the ESC 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, ultra-low weight, and high efficiency. The Mini28 features a rugged, compact design that handles a massive 30A continuous current to keep your motor pinned to the track. By using high-end internal components in the smallest possible footprint, Hobbywing has kept the weight at a mere 5g. Most impressively, the sensored technology ensures zero cogging and consistent torque, allowing the car to maintain smooth driveability even at low speeds, fitting perfectly into the tightest 1/28 scale chassis layouts.
