Hobbywing EZRun MAX8 G2S ESC

The Hobbywing EZRun MAX8 G2S ESC (HW30103205) is a high-performance 1:8 scale speed controller designed for on-road, short course and monster truck applications. Building on the proven MAX8 G2 platform, the G2S version introduces an optimised hardware design featuring intelligent freewheeling technology to further enhance stability and reliability over demanding runs.

A built-in Bluetooth module allows direct connection to a mobile app without plugging in any additional device. This makes parameter setup, data reading and firmware upgrades simple and convenient, helping you fine-tune performance and keep the controller up to date with minimal fuss.

With a 160A continuous current rating (1050A peak) and support for 3–6S LiPo input, the MAX8 G2S delivers versatile power handling for a wide range of 1:8 platforms. Its switch-mode BEC is adjustable to 6.0V, 7.4V or 8.4V with a robust 6A continuous output, providing consistent power to receivers and high-demand servos. Compact dimensions and a practical weight make installation straightforward across typical 1:8 chassis layouts.
