These are the settings I found work best on the stock esc.

Hey everyone

My XS came with only one of the two screws that hold the motor to the motor plate[&:], weird I know. I managed to find a replacement in my jar of stuff and its back together. From what I did drive I was impressed, looking forward to enjoying this truck

What type of run time are you getting on the 3600mah?

Hi t9dragon,

In fact according to Castle information 2200Kv motor accepts up to 6S Lipo but sweetspot is 4S, IMHO better to stay with 4S.

Have you got any HP Flux ? What are your settings ?

Thanks,

I ran for a good 20 minutes and never hit cutoff.

What was the ambient temp?

That's also a factor that's often overlooked.

It was around 18 degrees, A nice fall night.

The only setting that I have ever changed on my FLUX HP is the auto lipo cutoff.. The first ESC in my FLUX just stoppped working about 6-7 months ago so I called HPI and they replaced it free of charge but in talking to the guy at HPI he asked what was the "C" rating on the lipos I was using and I told him on the 3s it was 20c. He told me that was under what they recommened for the FLUX, he said they recommend 25c or higher. But in my manual it never said that because my FLUX was one of the first ones on the market.

Well, looks like I am the owner of a slightly used Flux XS
I hope to get it mid to late next week. Definitely before next weekend.
Now I need to get a battery ordered. I am guessing I don't really need a hard case since it's going in a hard case. I could alway use some foam to keep it tight, right? or would a hard case be preferred?

The body is already pretty scratched up and I will keep it for my rough bashing body. Any other bodies out there that will fit this truck?

Had the xs out today for about an hour of bashing on 2s in the dirt, completely stock and no issues. ESC got warm only but motor was hot after each pack. This truck is becoming my favorite very quickly and I have a few.

Just sold the stock RX/TX for $40 today.

I've put around 10+ 3S packs through my XS in the last week, haven't had any heat issues since I installed the MMP,motor fan and 23 tooth pinion. I'm very happy with the performance on 3S with my current gearing. I did eat the front ring and pinion gears, but was able to replace them, and all the drive cups have about 25-50% life left.  I've been having so much fun with the XS I haven't even thought of repairing the flux hp.

I have 4 3s packs on the stock esc and have not had the motor over 150, esc 130 and that running dirt, onroad and grass.

You have been a lot luckier than me, that's about the temps mine run know.  I did notice my transmission case has been as high as 200*F.

Can't wait till mine arrives.

I would open that puppy up and inspect it and do some maintenance.

redfisher1974

You can tell it pulls high amps as the 10 awg wires and my connectors feel warm after a run.

A.BRETON

Ive already opened it up, applied some synthetic grease I use on my dirt bike, still running pretty hot. When it breaks something is when I'll become more concerned, but it doesn't appear to be binding.

I originally thought the truck was geared too high for 3s but its handling it with temperature to spare.  I havn't had mine out on a hot summer day yet but it has been around 20C or so and sunny

Which fan did you end up running?

redfisher1974

I can not get mine up to top speed on the stock tires... Not enough grip.
