The FTX Grand Apache Hobbywing Brushless ESC 160A (part FTX11245) uses the renowned Hobbywing EZRUN MAX6 platform to deliver serious performance for large-scale RC builds. Built with rugged components and advanced firmware, this sensorless brushless speed controller offers explosive acceleration, stable power delivery and dependable protection for high-demand applications. Its waterproof and dust-proof construction, internal anti-spark circuitry and long-life electronic power switch make it a robust choice for harsh conditions.
With support for 3–8S LiPo and a continuous/peak current rating of 160A/1050A, the MAX6 is engineered for aggressive driving, from instant full-torque launches to high-speed runs across rough terrain. A switch-mode high-voltage BEC with selectable 6V/7.4V output is designed to handle modern high-voltage servos used in large-scale vehicles. Users can fine-tune parameters to suit driving style, with firmware updates available free of charge and support for optional WiFi programming modules.

Built with the most rugged and high-quality components and coupled with cutting-edge firmware, the EZRUN MAX6 is able to deliver unmatched power and performance for even the most hardcore of racing applications, but is also responsive enough to protect itself from damage due to overloading due to physical abuse, overuse or even human error. This ESC is applicable to various 1/6th & 1/7th scale vehicles like the Traxxas XO-1, and also suitable to various 1/8th scale heavy vehicles like the CEN GST-E. It's the ideal option for high-end aggressively powered builds.
With incredible acceleration capabilities and a rock-solid, stable output, the MAX6 can handle instant full-torque start-ups for wheelies, high-speed racing on straightaways and powering through the bumpiest terrain. The user will have the choice of adjusting the ESC parameters as per his preference and ability.
The MAX6 has adopted the world’s first HV built-in BEC with an output current of up to 25Amp and a switchable output voltage of 6V-7.4V. The high voltage BEC is designed to handle today’s high voltage servos on demand used by large scale vehicles. The MAX6 also features an electronic switch with a lifespan of over 50000 on/off cycles, housed in a completely waterproof, dust-proof and shock-resistant design.
The MAX6 is built with internal anti-spark circuitry that protects not only battery connectors from damage but helps to prevent physical injury due to burnt fingers from the inevitable issue of sparking when hooking up the ESC to higher voltage battery packs (5S/6S/7S/8S).
The waterproof and dust-proof design allows the MAX6 to be used in all weather conditions without any issue of damage caused to the ESC from water or dust
