Hobbystar released a new V2 lineup of motors with temp seonsors

[sumguy75]

Just went to the rcjuice.com and saw they have released a new lineup of motors. The 1/8 motors are now listed as 42 instead of 40 on the can diameter, they already had 2mm fins on the old version, already posted in a thread today that the can size is the same. They have temperature ports now but it says must use compatible esc. I know it is compatible with their esc's but not sure if the new temp sensor wire will work with Hobbywing.

Either way, the price didn't go up so I'm happy to see them offer something better at the same price.

Yep, 34grams lighter too

Would the temperature sensor work on the new Max8 G2 ESC? I see they have an adaptor to connect the temp sensor to the motor sensor cable.

The details on the Hobbywing site state that this doesn't support thermal cutoff, so I don't see the use of it.

HW motor temp cutoffs are confusing to me.

If I remember right, the only two setting options are like 220 degrees and 250 degrees. 220 is way too hot already.

I guess it would depend on where the sensor is located. If your seeing 160 at the can, somewhere inside is a lot hotter than that

What are the thoughts on Hobbystar ESCs? I've actually never heard anything about them.

I was under the impression that lighter is not better when comparing 2 similar motors.

They machined out some pockets on the snout cap instead of counterboring for the socket head cap screws. 1.2oz could be the difference in a new record time!
