I'm starting to lose my faith on HW... hope I'm wrong.
#5570
The software has 3 settings
forward /reverse
forward only with brake
forward and reverse with brake (first forward level movement is brake and the second is brake )
No need to lose faith all i can do is pass on the info to michael if he doesnt agree he doesnt agree .

Guys I'm really struggling to find the 224 firmware. I can find the program box 224 but not for the ESC. Does anyone have a link to the correct download? Cheers

Thanks Rai
I tried this one but the actual ESC software for 224 wasn't on there. Just the 2 in 1 box software.

Michael will not introduce the delay into the software as he got 100's of emails from customers complaining about a delay in the forward to reverse brake .The xerun is a 100% racing product were reverse is not allowed anyway in major events and in some countries not even at club events
From the official Xerun manual "When the throttle stick is moved to the backward zone again (The 2nd “click”), if the motor speed is slowed down to zero (i.e. stopped), the backward action will happen. The “Double-Click” method can prevent mistakenly reversing action when the brake function is frequently used in steering.". Obviously this is not working in the latest firmwares, so what you or Michael have to say about it? Sorry for being so repetitive about this, but I've paid for a product that doesn't work as advertised, and I don't see any progress to solve it.

if you really need to go backwards, downgrade to a version that has the thing you are looking for? The manual is from an older firmware so load that version up and it works lik it is advertised. Or am i missing something?

Why must I revert to an older version that may be worse in other aspects? Newer firmware run cooler and has more features; going back is not the solution, and fixing a software bug should be so easy as looking back to the changes in the code and revert the bad code. It's just the passivity of the support team what makes me angry, because they are ignoring known bugs and this is not good for their reputation. I was going to buy another xerun, but until this is fixed I'll wait (or will buy another brand)

Managed to melt my THIRD motor this afternoon. And it was NOT even overheating!
First things first, though:
First motor to go was a Trinity Duo2 17.5T, geared at around 7.0FDR (all motors on my 1/5 scale Thunder Tiger SB-5 motorcycle, running an Xtreme Stock ESC with mild settings, which I have mentioned earlier). It ran a few batteries at around 80-85C and then in one battery it went buttery... something melted inside it... and it was running just 3-4 minutes, while previously it had ran 10-minute sessions with cool off periods in between...
Then it was a Nosram Pure Evo (X12 equivalent, 17.5T) geared even lower at 8.1FDR. This one ran a high of 105C, so I toned down the turbo and boost settings a bit and managed to make it run at a top 90C, with ambient temps around 30-33C.
This afternoon (ambient 35C) I ran the Nosram (X11 equivalent, also 17.5T). First battery went fine, motor came out at 85C after 12 minutes on track.
Second battery, 20-25 minutes later, motor had temped down to 40C, just after three minutes of running, the bike stopped on its tracks... I temped the motor, it was 90C, but it was coughing badly, would not start if it was not pushed, smelled badly...
Now... last year, in my KP09 bike, I was running a Xerun 60A 2.1, powering a Nosram 13.5T (x11), geared at 6.1, mild settings on the then program, and later an LRP X12, geared and turboed the same and it never caused a problem with either motor...
Small difference between the bikes: KP weighed 1810 grams, TT weighs 1905 gr. (according to the RC Bikes Worlds rules, respectively).
Last year's batteries were HK 3300/3600/30C, now I am running GensAce 5000/50C.
So, I'm back to my X11 13,5T Nosram, now, but with a serious change: I ditched the Xtreme stock and mounted the Xerun 60A...
More testing tomorrow early morning before temps hit over 33C...
I geared the X11 at last year's (longish) 6.1, just to see how it will fare...
Settings are the same mild from the 17.5T:
Punch 5
LVC 3.0V (not really important, I consume around 2200mah for each 10-12 minutes of running at the track)
Boost 25
slope 18
turbo 20
boost start 4000
delay 03
ACC 400
We will see if something IS wrong with the Xtreme stock... First it didnt have adequate brakes, then I soldered a 4-cap capacitor (stolen from my 120A Xerun!) and it had some little better brakes, now it started melting the motors?!!!!!
Can it be so?!!!
Edit: all motors were ran with 211 FW...

I tried this one but the actual ESC software for 224 wasn't on there. Just the 2 in 1 box software.
