You may want to try these settings:

Hi Othello, I know it's a bit of an old thread, but I thought I'd try my luck:
How do the settings you described to run successfully in the posted pics, differ from the settings that got you the cogging problems? Only difference I see in your posts would be a change of the LVC, from 3.3 to 3.5 V/cell, no? Or am I overlooking something?
Did you end up using additional caps and an external BEC? Did that reduce ESC temps and were those additions a factor in the solution to the cogging problems you think?
Thanks!
Edit:
Lizard was so kind to link me to your thread at offroad-cult and I read about your
experience with a failing XL2 while using Castle Link, seemingly because there was a load (external BEC and fans) connected to the battery leads while connecting the ESC to the link. Seems your new XL2 has been running well right? So the solution would be to put a switch between any loads (fans, UBEC, other) connected to the battery leads, correct?
