The CEN Racing CQ0801 is a Hobbywing-designed WP-1040 brushed electronic speed controller rated at 40 amps. CEN lists CQ0801 in its Q / M-Series electronics catalog, while established CEN dealers identify the exact CEGCQ0801 SKU as the waterproof brushed WP-1040 used across several CEN platforms.

PACKAGE CONTENTS
- 1 × CEN / Hobbywing WP-1040 40A brushed ESC
Some dealer photography shows mounting pads and associated installation items, but CEN's current standalone product page does not publish a complete accessory-count breakdown. GASHEAD RC therefore guarantees only the ESC itself unless additional contents are explicitly shown with the shipped package.
INSTALLATION & SETUP NOTES
- Use only with a compatible brushed motor system.
- Confirm battery cell count and motor load are within the ESC's published limits before connecting power.
- Match polarity carefully at the battery and motor leads.
- Mount the ESC where airflow can reach the heat sink and where wiring cannot contact moving drivetrain parts.
- Verify throttle direction, neutral position and brake/reverse operation before driving.
- Waterproof-rated electronics should still be dried and inspected after wet operation.
MANUFACTURER DATA NOT PUBLISHED
CEN's current CQ0801 retail page does not publish a complete electrical specification sheet for this CEN-specific installation, including exact BEC output, dimensions, weight, motor-turn limit, peak current, programmable parameters or connector wire gauge. GASHEAD RC does not invent or substitute generic WP-1040 specifications where CEN has not explicitly tied them to CQ0801.
