MAX8 HV 550A V2 sensored ESC for 1/6 and 1/7 RC cars
The MAD MAX8 HV (550A) V2 is a brushless sensored electronic speed controller for large 1/6 and 1/7 RC model cars. The manufacturer identifies the product as a 3–8S unit, so the battery cell count, connector system and motor combination must be confirmed against the vehicle and the current product manual before installation.
Use this ESC in a compatible sensored brushless RC-car power system. Check motor sensor compatibility, phase wiring, battery polarity, connector rating, cooling airflow and vehicle space before powering it. The “550A” designation is the product’s listed current class; it is not a promise of continuous current under every temperature, gearing, battery or vehicle condition.
This product is not a drone ESC and should not be selected for multirotors, aircraft or other applications outside the stated 1/6 and 1/7 RC-car use. Do not infer waterproofing, BEC output, motor KV limits, timing settings, thermal performance or programming features unless confirmed in the supplied manual or by MAD. Set gearing and protection parameters conservatively for the complete vehicle.
For a lower-current MAX8 option, compare the MAX8 HV 300A ESC. For broader vehicle-controller selection, browse the MAX Series ESC category and review the RC cars and trucks category.
