Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.
Use batteries recommended for your Hanging On Racer model and ensure voltage and connector types match the ESC specifications to avoid stressing the unit.
Basic throttle behaviour is tuned from the factory for balance, but some models allow additional adjustment via programming accessories if you need finer control.
After a run, feel the ESC casing for excessive heat and inspect connectors and wiring for signs of strain; persistent hot spots may indicate incorrect installation or high load conditions.
Yes, the GPW17's predictable control and thermal safeguards make it suitable for club-level events where reliability and consistent handling are valuable.
Some setups use pre-crimped leads or connector kits, but check your model's wiring; careful soldering may be needed for a secure connection.
