Just installed the xlx2 in my dbxl-e 2.0 on Monday. Ran it for about 15 mins Tuesday and no problems. Planned on running it today for a full run but, the negative connector came off on the esc. When I say came off the esc, I mean the connection on the board in the esc. According to the logs today, it only pulled 344.3 amps. I'm going to send it in for warranty work/replacement but it could take up to 2.5 months before I get it back, if then. The tech also told me the xlx2 isn't supposed run with that high of an amp draw but yet castle was testing with over 500 amp draws. The ripple did go up right when the wire was coming unsoldered. The temp went to 100.8F. As of right now, I'm not impressed with castle.

I have the same motor in mine and it rarely gets hot plus you got the gamechanger fans. Wow your in for a huge difference. I really like all the accessories that you've added, I'm interested in seeing some more on that crazy servo.. great job. Sorry Earl I did get you build confused with exocaged rc, he is doing something similar with the XLX2 11k ... none the less I still like your build and builds.

That is one of the things that keep me from buying a castle xlx2, worried it'll catch fire. The other thing is my brother got a castle system (esc and motor) for his kraton 6s. The 1st motor broke a shaft (running on flat ground) and the 2nd one locked up. The esc wasn't any better. It was replaced with the warranty and it didn't last. He now has a max 6 esc and hobbywing motor, so far, so good. Another thing castle does that I don't like is they use a slide switch, I like the push button switches. I have the max 5 but it's on it's last legs. Looking to replace the esc with either a r-snake flier 400a or save up for an mgm esc ( very expensive ).

What’s that? 🧐 so please correct me if I‘m wrong but wasn’t it the steering that‘s really bad on the 2.0? Is it going to be a speedrunner in the future? Full trottle but just straight forward? So center differential makes sense but why don’t you first fix the steering? That xlx2 1100 would have been great for the limitless giveaway 😉
