Well I tried this xerun 60A for the first time yesterday and my goodness. I used an old speedpassion V1 13.5 and was very impressive. I took someone elses settings left on here, but I ended up blowing the motor up. Strange, I only got the motor upto 145 degree F.
Anyway, put back in my Novak 10.5 and turned it down to stock timing with the same settings that I used on my 13.5 and it was as fast as anything else out there. Well done Hobbywing for this new firmware.
If I were to have a gripe, it would be the brakes. With the Novak (which is a weak on the brake front anyway) theres a delay in the brakes when you pull back on the stick. I recalibrated the transmitter before anyone asks. I have 100% brakes and 40% initial brakes. I hope theres a better brake in the future and it would be 100% perfect.

YAY !!!! Finally unbanned lol Bloody SP Mods are killing me.
Oh and thanks for all the nice words on the forum supporting me at times like that you know who your friends are.
Now what's the betting SP will 'miraculously' come up with the 510 as 'their' latest software I don't actually think it is SP per se but the anal bloody americans running the operation in the States who are the problem here.
Hobbywing all the way, am gonna ebay my GT2.0 Pro coz am pissed off with SpeedPassion with a vengeance, Rip off merchants !!!!!!!

A few guys just found that the brakes felt stronger when the reverse strength was at 100%.
Thats what i have mine set to and i have plenty brekes and can practically lock up the wheels.
Note though some motors do have stronger or weaker brakes than others.

Does anyone know why the XERUN 13.5 motor is a lower kv than all other brands? On one document, Hobbywing states it XERUN 13.5 is 2,500kv and another Hobbywing document says its 2,700kv. What's the true kv? I only got the 13.5 because the 17.5 motors from all other companies are between 2,200kv and 2,500kv. Seems odd to me

I don't know if this is normal with my Xerun 120A and 5.5T motor, please advise.
When I use it under sensored mode, the motor stutters/trembles when I press the throttle very very lightly. If I press a little harder, there is no stuttering.
If I disconnect the sensor cable so it will run in sensorless mode, there is no stuttering but it does require the throttle pressed a little bit more until the motor starts to turn.

Use wire sensors Novak and problems disappear, with cables LRP and Speedpassion I had similar problems.
