The Hobbywing XeRun AXE Plus R3 Combo & AXE540L 2800KV Motor (Part No.HW38020388) delivers pro-grade power and precision designed for serious RC crawlers. Featuring a sensored, FOC-driven ESC paired with a high-revving 2800KV motor, this combo is built to tackle extreme terrains with confidence.

The compact ESC supports 2–6S LiPo up to 135A continuous (600A burst), with an adjustable BEC (6/7.4/8.4V at 6A) to power servos, winches, and lights. Its IP67 waterproofing and nearly silent FOC operation make it ideal for demanding off-road conditions 

The AXE540L 2800KV motor offers soft startup with minimal cogging, ensuring smooth throttle control. It’s a sensored 4-pole motor (36mm diameter × 57.8mm length, 3.175mm shaft) tuned for 2–3S LiPos—perfect for precise crawling performance 

With Bluetooth programming via the HW Link app, real-time telemetry (throttle, voltage, current, RPM, temp), and advanced features like drag brake (up to 200%), smart torque control, and automatic fan activation—the AXE Plus R3 combo brings full crawler-grade control and reliability to your build

This combo is compatible with Hobbywing’s AXE R2/R3 motor range and supports 1/10–1/6 scale crawlers, making it versatile for various rigs. At 49.5×37.9×32.8mm and 126.5g (ESC), it fits neatly into tight RC chassis layouts 

Ideal for rock crawlers like SCX10, TRX-4, and Capra, this system delivers silky torque, robustness, and adjustability—all in one combo package.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:

  • For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
  • Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
  • Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
  • If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
  • We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
  • As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
  • If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
  • For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
