When the built-in chip of the motor is matched with the Hobbywing XeRun XR8 series of ESC, the ESC can automatically identify the motor and build a pure sensor mode power system, providing better manipulating performance and more delicate manipulating feel. When this motor is used together with Hobbywing XERUN XR8 PRO G2 ESC can start more effective turbo timing than the last generation of the system. The motor can release maximum power instantly. The maximum speed can be promoted by 50%. Easily win your rival. The motor adopts the patent technology of "error-free" Hall sensor system, the independent high-speed and high-precision encoder always outputs pure rotor position signal, which effectively avoids the interference of sensor signal and makes the motor work stably in sensor state. The mechanical turbo timing of motor can be adjusted from 20-40°. It is convenient for driver to calibrate accurately output power of motor and meet power requirements of various application. The motor has low cogging effect and small torque pulse. It is very smooth at low speed and has the superb manipulating performance. The protection grade of the Off-Road motor is IP5X. Its excellent dustproof performance can easy to deal with various Off-Road dusty track environments. On the premise of improving the performance, the design of 4268SD G3 is optimized which extremely reduces the weight of the motor. The weight of 1900KV / 2200KV is 20g / 45g lighter than peers. The light motor is convenient for the driver to adjust the balance performance of the vehicle.

Motor is great. Customer service was terrible
I bought this motor along with the MAX8 G2 ESC for my father in law. I’ve now bought 3 motor / ESC sets from HW. When he received this motor, it didn’t come with any wires at all. Also, this motor apparently has the later version of the censored cable connection and it will not connect to the ESC without an adapter. All of which can be handled fairly easily now that we know. However, when he reached out to Mark with HW customer service, he was told quite rudely, just to buy some heavy gauge wire and the adapter for connecting the censor cable. Mind you, I’m just now getting back into RC world after many years away and trying to just do something to spend time together as we used to years ago. I’m easily $1,100 deep into just HW electronics in a month for several builds and they literally couldn’t care less. I’d definitely handle things differently if I were dealing with a customer that couldn’t even hook up his new motor. What’s a few wires and a cable adapter to a company this large? The product is great so far. If I were simply rating the product, it’d be a great rating. I had to rob the cables from my 1/8 scale Castle Creations motor just to get this to work. Now, I’ve got to replace those at some point. Again, not the end of the world. But, if you’re buying these motors and run into anything at all, don’t expect a single bit of help from HW. It’s sad that they treat customers like a number, instead of actually caring to help.

Be prepared w/additional items to complete
I purchased the Hobbywing Max 8 ESC and this 4268SD motor for a new Assoc. RC8B4e. Both components appear of good quality and the motor fits nicely in the car.Unfortunately, I found that there is no way to connect the motor's sensor wire to the ESC, despite the fact that 2 sensor wires were included--neither work. There was also no motor wires or bullet connectors.A friend also bought a 1/8 Hobbywing motor/ESC setup at the same time. He did not experience the problems I had, so I contacted the company's cust supp. I was told by them to go buy an adapter to get them working together or buy a different motor; the one suggested to me will never fit a B4e. My question of the primary motor wires/connectors was not addressed.These are things that can be sorted easily enough. However, at $300 (149.99 motor, 149.99 esc) with no way to connect them together, I feel this is an incomplete combo.
