FOC (Field-oriented Control) for Super Linearity &
High Torque & Extreme Slience

New sensor technology has changed the feel, performance, and overall tune-ability of the
new Axe ESC and Motor in ways some have never experienced. Field-oriented Control is the
name of this new tech, and is something all new to the scale trail, rock racing, and rc world
in-general. This new style of sensor allows extremely accurate control and sensing of the
motor while maintaining extreme performance and reliability. The motor and ESC are able to
match the RPM of the motor to your throttle position under all driving conditions.
This greatly improves down hill driving giving this system the ability to drive
down hill under complete control.FOC technology also makes the
whole system extremly silent, the motor doesn't create
the annoying PWM noise when it is running.

FOC (Field-oriented Control)

Intelligent Torque Output & Speed
Closed-loop Control for Easy Control

Not just a new ESC and motor, the new FOC sensors, combined with
Intelligent Torque output and closed loop speed control mean
the ESC and motor will maintain the motor’s Torque level and
RPM as the vehicles conditions change. Uphill, down hill,
under load, you name it, your Axe system will do
what you’re telling it to do.

Battery Reverse Polarity Protection

Hobbywing's AXE FOC Crawler system has been designed with a
very unique feature protecting your ESC from damage caused by
Battery Reverse Polarity, so no matter how many times you reverse
the battery connections the AXE ESC and the paired motor are safe
from damage.

Battery Reverse
Polarity Protection

Built-in battery-reversal
protection circuitry frees you
from worrying about damage
caused by reverse installation.

Applicable to All Weather & Track Conditions

The IP-67 waterproof has been taken to a new level with the AXE System. Completely
sealed ESC design with robust heatsink case design ensure the ESC is ready for
anything you throw at it. The motor as well,is sealed, and combines a completely new
sensor harness.No messy extra steps to make your system water proof.

Applicable to All Weather
& Track Conditions

Dual Running Mode

AXE FOC Crawler system supports dual running mode, not only classic "Forward and
Reverse (rock crawler)" mode, but also "Forward/Reverse with brake (normal)" mode,
to satisfy your application.

Dual Running Mode

Professional Drag Brake Adjustments
& Super Parking Capacity

Drag brake rate, and drag brake tuning allows scalers to adjust not
only the hill/hold/drag brake, but how quickly the brake applies.
This allows high speed driving with out sudden jerks or
stops when releasing the throttle. The drag brake itself is
super charged, and able to be run at extremely high levels.
Compared to a standard crawling brushless setup,
the drag brake in the Axe System can be rated
at %200 in comparison.

Built-in Bluetooth for Connecting
the Mobile APP Directly

Built in Bluetooth connectivity means exactly that. The ESC has Blue Tooth
built right in! Nothing extra is needed to access the ESC’s complete on
board programming but your smart phone device and the Free Hobbywing
App from your App Store. That’s right folks, the Bluetooth feature is BUILT
INTO the ESC. No extra devices, wires or connections required!
Please download the new version of V2 App. The old version of APP
cannot support. Download method is as follows:

1) Android            2) IOS: Look up in the APP Store: HW Link V2 will do.

Easy Obtain AXE Running
Status with Real-time
Data Recording Function

Connect the HW Link cellphone APP to the ESC
and open the real-time data recording function,
to check the throttle, voltage, current,
temperature, RPM and other data in real-time.
Easy obtain running status of ESC and motor.
Note: Due to transmission distance of bluetooth,
the effective distance is about 3m!

Super Internal BEC

The built-in switch mode BEC with a maximum output of 13A and
voltage adjustable between 6V and 7.4V allows the use of various
standard servos, high voltage servos and other peripherals.

Built-in High-precision Magnetic Encoder

A high precision magnetic encoder is used in the motor to ensure precision and
consistent information is provided to the ESC. This allows the ESC to have more
information from the motor than standard “hall” type sensors and provides improved
performance and efficiency.

Advanced and Secure Electronic Switch

The dust, dirt, and waterproof switch housing ensures a long reliable life for your
ESC, will not suffer from the problems most standard on/off switches encounter.

Multiple Programmable Items

With enough settings to keep your vehicle running “just right”, there are also
timing/boost settings, just in case it’s not fast enough, this feature allows you to
unleash some extra top speed from your Axe System. Sometimes the trails are
long and winding, so more wheel speed is welcome!

Patented “Staggered Pole” Rotor Design for Ultra-low Torque Ripple

The new Axe motor not only has a new sensor design, but compared to other rock crawler design motors uses an improved staggered pole rotor design. What does this mean? Smoother operation with no cogging, and very clean and consistent deceleration. Smoother brakes, smoother power, and transitions between each are improved. This is specific to trail and rock crawling and allows extremely precise throttle control under any load conditions.
