XERUN V2.0 Brushless ESC discussion thread.
#46
does any one have a link for the download for the EZrun 60a set up ??
#49
Does anyone here have experience with both V1 and V2, and can outline the major differences? I'm trying to decide whether it is worth upgrading. Currently running a 6.5 with a V1. I feel the brakes on the V1 may be a tad soft...
#50
The difference between the V1 & V2 is similar to how the SpeedPassion GT1 & GT2 are. If you read the speed passion thread you'll have a clearer picture. I prefer the V2 due to its ability to update software via usb-pc link. I don't feel any difference braking. However I only run 11.5T TC lipo. A 6.5 would be very different.

I have a silly "new-to-brushless" question in regards to these escs. Will they run other brands of motors?
Like I said new to brushless and any help would be appreciated.

yes they will run other makes of brushless motors.

hi guys,
just bought my XERUN v2.0 120a + 17.5T combo . for aussie stock class racing.
i have a couple of questions.
firstly can anyone tell me a starting gear ratio for a TRF 415 on a smallish ashfelt track?
Also i am looking at getting the LCD programer option. does it allow finer updates or is it the same setting as the led controller?
do the USB firmware updates make much difference to the ESC?
Also being that this is basicly the same speedy as the speedpassion unit. does speedpassion have any different firmwares and is it possible to use them?
anyway. thats enough questions for tonight
thanks in advance

Get the LCD program box. Its a must if you're into racing. You can use either hobbywing or speedpassion softwares. They do make a difference. I've been doing some thorough tests with the xerun this week and I'm quite happy with it. Managed to close the gap with the faster SPX speedos on our 11.5Ts. I'm running speedpassion 731 beta software with AMTS and adjustable motor timing maxed out. On tracks with straights less than 100' the Xerun can be competitive.

Start with fdr 5.0 and work your fdr down by going up 1 pinion at a time.

thanks for the reply,
sounds like i need to get the box. but it seems that its only advantage over the standard program card is to abilty to download the firmware.
Does it allow you to do any different changes to the settings that the standard card cant do?
edit: just found this is the SP thread
Wether you have a SP or HW lcd programmer it will work with either software with HW seeming to have a more updated version.
The LCD programmer doesnt have finer adjustments but does have additional features.
HW software has a few additional firmware versions but i havent had a chance to try them to compare with SP versions.
The LCD programmer also keeps 3 different setups in memory instead of adjusting settings you can have these setups preprogrammed.

The LCD programmer does everything the LED programmer does and more like being able to fine tune drag brake instead of a fixed percentage like 5, 10 and so on. And when new softwares are introduced, they may have additional parameters that you can't add on to the LED programmer.
The LCD programmer is also updateable, not just the esc.

Fired the combo up last night on the bench. it all seems to work ok. except the motor seems to be noisy.
noisy might not be the right word. but it doesnt seem to sound like its smooth. Most motors i have used at full throttle seem to sound fast. this just doesnt sound like that. possibly sounding like its out of balance or rubbing internally. The car seems to run on the bench ok so i will have to wait till a track session to be sure.
im not sure if anything is wrong or not because i dont have anything to compare it to with regards to other brushless motors. i will hopefully get a chance to give it a run in the next few days.
The speedy seems nice and the control box works well. I dont know who decided that the status led's should be on the bottom but hhhmmmm. Other than that i have turned the voltage cutout up as far as it would go (3.4v?) because im running lipo's and i wasnt sure what voltage to set it to . i figured i can allways lower it later.
anyway will see how it goes.

Xerun 60A, need a fan on 2WD offroad?
Hi Guys,
Just bought a Xerun 60A 2v. and i am planning to install on a 2WD buggy, because the body shell is quite low i was thinking to run the ESC without the fan, would have any effect on the performance and reliability of the ESC?
I plan to run 13.5T or 10.5T sensored.
Thanks in advance,
Lorenzo
