Losi 1/8 ESC works great with latest firmware

[florianz]

... I'm curious how well or bad mine will be, I've ordered one today. In that online-shop it was on sale for 127 Euro, which is about 169 usd.

I have already heard about the new rotors, and have asked the wholesaler for germany/austria, robitronic. he told me that they're about to receive some new rotors. they have the same power-specs, but a new black winding. I detectet at mine that the kevlar-winding slowly getting loose...

but so far I'm happy with the motor, temps have been ok and performance is good. by far better then any chinese-crap. it's a four-pole motor, which gives better torque and is better for the partial load-use we have in cars (the two-poles don't like that much, so they get hot).

anyways, the overall-quality of the motor is good, so I ordered the esc. I hope its a good one... at the moment I use a cheapo-chinese esc, modded with fan and fat caps, and it works - funny thing - just flawlessly (just the breaks suck). for a price of 30 euros...

I think losi xcelorin needs some positive public relations, the standing of these products isn't the best at the moment. I 've read about so many failures of e.g. mgm controllers, which cost a sh**load of money, still the're supposed to be top of the shelf...

at least the xcelorin motor is great quality for that money (about 90-100 euros), it's hard to get medusas here.

I wonder if modding of the xcelorin esc with some extra power caps would make sense... any other feedback is highly appreciated.
