Would have been helpful if you also mentioned that the XR8 cant do sensored and turbo on non Hobbywing 1/8th scale motors, just wasted a purchase on one of these for drag racing based on your video, yes i can see it mentioned by others in the comments, but maybe pin one of those comments so others then know
Much love for this series of videos as they have helped immensely. Question for yeah! I have a 22s that I'm building and its going to running a XR10 Pro Elite G2 and a 4.5 v10 G3. I currently have both the stock dual capacitor and the X Module soldered at the battery terminal at the ESC. I picked up the Hobbywing 4 pack capacitor and want to make sure Im being as safe as possible with the ESC and was wondering if I should add the 4 pack to my existing setup or remove one of both of the other capacitors. Thanks in advance!
One of my concerns was the motor limits on the esc. XR10 Pro I believe says down to 5.5t. I realize that’s meant for buggy or onroad racing. I have a HW 4.5t motor and was hoping to use the XR10 pro or XR8 pro.
Great stuff . I recently bought a Losi 22s drag chassis and also an xr10 pro , which I purchased after watching yr clip . I'm thinking an xerun 4.5 t motor would be competitive. Thanks .
Here is a question that I have never seen addressed, I was hoping it would be covered when you mentioned timing the motor mechanically. How is timing addressed by the ESC? In other words; if I mechanically time the motor to 30 degrees for example, and I wish to bring in 10 degrees more using the "turbo" feature on the ESC for a total of 40 degrees overall. Do I set the ESC turbo for 40 degrees, or 10 degrees?
The biggest question I have is I am really interested in the xr8 pro g2 for drag racing. I currently run a 3.5t fantom motor. This esc will run with that motor in full sensored mode correct? Can I run a 2.0-2.5 turn motor on this esc?
At this time, boost and turbo only work on HW E8th motors. "handling" super low turn motors is something there is no solid answer for as it depends directly on setup. But if setup/install/geared/timed correctly, should be the best ESC to handle that loads and live through the usages.
Is there an update for the xr8 pro gen2 or did I waste my money buying 1 for drag racing after watching this as it won't allow turbo or boost to be added
I bought the the xerorun R2 3300kv brushless system for a 1/10 rc. Going with a venom lipo charger but what's a good battery for brushless? I was looking at a particular venom battery and someone said that it wasn't a good fit for brushless motors. Is this a true possibility? Looking for a 3s with a good run time of 90minutes for a rock racer / trail / crawler build. Meaning fair amount of wide open throttle ( 30% ) I'd say a good (50%) trailing mid speed in and out and (20%) use for crawling and slow stuff. If anyone could help me out I wanna get the most out of this system without causing damage or shorting myself in power punch or run time. Thank you in advance
Great stuff man! Lots of good information presented clearly and precisely! My slash based drag car has the Hobbywing XR8 ESC and the 3652 4-pole 5200 KV motor. Because I'm paralyzed and cannot use my hands I haven't been able to run it yet because I don't have any help, hopefully we'll have a test and tune session soon. I just wanted to ask you if you could recommend a starting pinion/spur gear set? I'll be running the Proline reactions. My thoughts so far were, being a 4-pole motor with a mild KV rating somewhere around a 17/86 would be a good starting point, would you agree with that? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! And also, thank you for the videos with all the great information and help! I really like the HW electronics.

You wouldn’t believe how many people that believe they get more power increasing the rate to 150% on the remote after the esc is calibrated at 100.
Thank you for all this info Charlie

Wow and no response to the question.

Great info ! Thanks
Any updates on the drag firm ware for the xr8? Also running a 3.5t Motiv but want to run boost and little bit of turbo.

Is there anyway to soften the launch with the XR10 Pro G2? Basically I want punch control but this ESC doesn't seem to have that.
Scratch that, my XR10 Pro G2 just popped. Lets hope Hobbywing support isn't as bad as their reputation online.
Good Morning! I bought a brushless slingshot 3.5T and I need an ESC for it. Will the xr10 pro work for me?

Following your channel!! Thsnks for posting..think I'm getting the 4.5 for my losi 22s? Your thoughts?
what is a drag race motor with the xr8 esc ?
Good morning! Help me! Can i use ESC XR10 pro with brusheless slingshot 3.5t for Drag Race?
For assistance, please send us an email - NorthAmerica@hobbywing.com. Thank you.
I got a xr10 pro black with a 8.5t hobbywing v10 on a losi s22 what would be the Gering like since it's a turn motor
Hello,
For pinion gear, start out in the "Low 20s" to be safe. Most vehicles have a larger spur gear for motor motor setups in the 80ish size range.
The biggest question I have is I am really interested in the xr8 pro g2 for drag racing. I currently run a 3.5t fantom motor. This esc will run with that motor in full sensored mode correct? Can I run a 2.0-2.5 turn motor on this esc?

The xr8 pro has boost but no rpm setting, how am I supposed to control how the boost comes in?
Uses the "auto" feature.
SADLY "YOU" CAN'T CONTROL IT.... The esc does what it wants.
I just bought the xr8 sct hopefully that will work?
Is there an update for the xr8 pro gen2 or did I waste my money buying 1 for drag racing after watching this as it won't allow turbo or boost to be added
We hope to have an update to "unlock" these features for drag racing in the future, but do not have a solid ETA at this time.
next time do your homework before you buy (lesson learned)

Some 3652 are 1/8th shaft
Does the XR10 pro have Bluetooth capabilities?
Can still use the xerun xr10 pro legacy for drag racing small budget

Hey my friend thank you for the channel the 10pro G2 and the Legacy have the option for turbo and boost or not?
Will the xr10 legacy work well? Or should I upgrade to the xr10 elite or stealth?
Are the XR10 Pro G1 (Legacy) compatible with the new OTA ?
Yes, it is. Xerun series all work fine with the OTA, or the LCD Box.
I got a 3.0 turn 2pole motor.. will the XR10 run it?
How about sand drags for a 2wd slash and on 4s with paddles?
what about XR8 SCT PRO?
