Hobbywing XERUN XR8 Plus

Honestly I wish the timing controller was adjustable and fixed. There is no simple way to dial in x * timing on an XR8 and there really should be.

Hi, Im having a problem with the xr8 pro g2. It is brand new. The problem Im having, is that when I come down the straight and then turn, there is almost no power when I get back on the throttle. Below is what is written in the manual, and it is exactly what is happening, the rest of the track its fine. I started with the 1/8th off-road setting( I didn't check if it works properly on the stock setting), then I adjusted things from there.
5D: Turbo Decrease Rate (deg/0.1sec):After the Turbo Timing is activated and the trigger condition turns to not be met (i.e. vehicle slows down at the end of the straightaway and gets into a corner, full-throttle turns to partial throttle, the trigger condition for Turbo Timing turns to be not met), if you disable all the Turbo Timing in a moment, an obvious slow-down like braking will be felt and cause the control of the vehicle to become bad. If the ESC can disable the Turbo Timing at some “speed”, the slow-down will be linear and the control will be improved.

my local supplier in europe just told me that apparently the Xerun XR8 pro g2 is not available anymore (and the SCT but thats clear)- only the Xerun XR8 plus g2s . Do you guys know anything else about it? I mean the xr8 pro g2 was released in 2021- why would HW discontinue it already? I rather thought its a supply chain issue, since no one here in europa has it in stock!

You can also look at the website for the TTM Funktionsmodellbau e.k store here.

I hope this helps you in your search for the esc you want.

XR8 Pro
My friend brought me an XR8 Pro to look at as the switch needed replacing. Once I replaced the switch we noticed the fan wasn't working properly and the receiver released its magic smoke.... i measured output voltages for fan and receiver and noticed that they were 16V, the fans and receiver are rated at 6-8V so I know that this can't be right. Without a circuit diagram it's difficult to diagnose the issue, I was just wondering if anyone here has had a similar issue?
Thanks

Anyone else have overheating issues with the g2s plus? Edit- my Hw motor just so happened to go bad right after the new esc and that’s the issue.
