less to worry about on your set up. Making sure your running at optimum I guess is a bit down to trial and error.
The next question would be for Hobbywing.
Is the hobbywing extreme esc rated down to 8.5 turns for an on road using a 2s lipo. The reason I ask, is because I have upgraded to new firmware and tested the car on the bench tonight, and the wires to the power cap started to smoke and de-soldered off the cap board. I immediately switched it off, but obviousley i dont want to switch it on without the cap, so I have no idea if it was an issue with the cap or the esc. Last week I ran it fine with the 512 stock firmware. I have emailed the model shop, and their response was have you read the new update instructions, and this esc is rated to 13.5.
The answer is yes to the first, and have Giant Cod read the literature about the esc's rating to the second.
Hi dude
yes the xtreme stock is rated down to a 8.5T for on road use you are correct .
Can i ask you a simple question with the cap have you activated 100% reverse in use with full brakes as someone has advised on this forum ?If you have it's no the right way of doing it and i dont recommened it because when going to full brakes but as well as the reverse function your causing a massive spike in reverse polarity which in turn would cause the the cap to burn .please send me an email at
[email protected] and we can work together on the issue to solve it .
