The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Ultimate Brushless Powerhouse for Small-Scale Domination! At Hobby Hideaway, we know that when it comes to 1/28 scale racing, precision and power are everything. The Hobbywing EzRun Mini28 Brushless Sensored Combo is the gold standard for Ottawa racers looking to swap out standard power for elite performance. This isn't just a motor swap—it is a total internal upgrade that provides the incredible feel and zero-cogging response that only a high-end sensored system can offer.
Precision Engineering for the Track We recommend the Mini28 combo because it solves the biggest hurdle in micro-scale racing: heat and throttle control. With the ability to adjust timing advance via the ESC, we can help you unlock drastic top-speed increases while keeping the motor running cool and efficient. Whether you are navigating a tight technical course or a long straightaway, the consistent torque and modular, easy-to-clean design make this the most reliable setup in our shop.
Key Features:
Zero Cogging Performance: Sensored technology provides a smooth, linear throttle feel even at the lowest speeds—perfect for the technical sections of our Ottawa track.
Precision ESC: The Mini28 ESC handles 30A continuous current and features a powerful 6V/7.4V BEC to keep your steering servo snappy and responsive.
High-Efficiency 1626 Motor: A 2-pole, 3500KV motor that weighs only 18g, ensuring your 1/28 racer stays light and agile.
High-Speed Advance: When paired together, timing advance can be used to increase top speeds drastically compared to standard brushless setups.
Modular Detachable Structure: The motor features a convenient design for easy daily cleaning and maintenance, ensuring longevity after heavy race days.
Fully Programmable: Supports firmware upgrades and custom adjustments via the LCD G2 box or OTA Programmer, allowing you to customize the power delivery to suit any track surface.
