In the world of RC speed run field, every ranking reflects a battle of engineering capability, and every speed breakthrough showcases a brand’s strength in high-performance power systems. In 2026, HOBBYWING achieved two major milestones within just one month.

In March 2026, HOBBYWING reached 2nd place in the global single-motor speed ranking with an impressive speed of 338 km/h, earning strong recognition from RC enthusiasts and industry users worldwide. In April 2026, HOBBYWING pushed even further and successfully claimed No.1 in the global single-motor speed ranking with an incredible top speed of 348 km/h.

This result is more than a new speed record. It highlights HOBBYWING’s deep expertise in RC ESC, RC motor engineering and extreme-performance technology, while reinforcing the brand’s influence in the global RC speed run community.

World-Class Results Backed by HOBBYWING

At the highest level of extreme-speed run, every change in ranking is hard-earned. From 338 km/h to 348 km/h, and from global No.2 to No.1, this was not only a gain in numbers, but a complete demonstration of product performance, R&D efficiency, and engineering excellence.

RC speed run is far more than straight-line acceleration. It is a complete test of the RC vehicle and its electronics. At extreme speeds, the ESC, motor and whole chassis setup must all perform with precision and stability.

High-speed vehicles need to accelerate quickly in a short period of time and continuously maintain high-speed output. At high speeds, any slight change in the throttle may affect the vehicle's attitude and driving route. An excellent power system needs to provide linear, delicate and rapid throttle response, making it easier for the driver to control the vehicle accurately. Moreover, high-load operation will bring challenges such as temperature, current and mechanical pressure. The power system needs to continuously output stably in extreme environments to ensure that every sprint is competitive.

New Choice for Speed Run Performance: EzRun MAX5 HV PLUS G2 & 56118 SL G2

For high-performance speed racing applications, HOBBYWING EzRun MAX5 HV PLUS G2 and 56118 SL G2 power combination, designed for 1/7^th and 1/8^th scale speed racing scenarios, offering speed racing enthusiasts a more powerful option.

The ESC supports 6-12S LiPo batteries, delivering a maximum continuous output current of 500A when using 8S and 330A when using 12S. It supports a maximum speed of 300,000 RPM (2-pole), easily meeting the extreme high-speed demands of speed racing applications.

The motor delivers powerful acceleration, features explosion-proof rotors, and supports a maximum speed of up to 78,000 RPM. It is available in two sizes: the 5690 size is suitable for dual-motor configurations, while the 56118 size is suitable for both single and dual-motor applications.

When used together, the motor and ESC support higher speeds and deliver greater power output.

More Than a Record — A Symbol of Brand Strength

Reaching No.1 in the global single-motor speed ranking is more than just a speed number. It represents HOBBYWING’s overall capability in the high-performance power system market. It proves that HOBBYWING not only meets the needs of everyday RC users, but can also lead in the most demanding performance challenges.

From race podiums to world speed records, HOBBYWING continues to define what a leading RC power brand can achieve through innovation, reliability, and proven performance.
