Castle is looking into this and may increase the limit a little bit but there's no definitive answer at this time.

My MMX is providing really good power for me with a 40x75 motor and 146 amps. We'll see what happens when I put a 40x102 motor on it and increase the load.

For the guy who is having success with the XLX and going 128 mph with it, we need to see the data logs to know what kind of numbers are working good with that ESC. It is very concerning to see more and more people complain about power output. MallenP30, do you have some data logs to share of your setup when it's on the XL2?
Yea I was just out this past weekend and did some test runs with both the XLX and XL2, I'll download the logs when I get home from work! The videos are on YouTube also just search Mike Powell, I don't have the editing part quite figured out yet so they are a little Long so just fast-forward if you have to lol
