I got the Holy Grail....FINALLY!

Feb 13, 2024

I got it! What a glorious day!
I got the legendary purple Hobbyking X-Car 80a ESC to go in my purple and blue upgraded touring car!
It is paired with another legend, the Turnigy XK Sensored 3650 - 3650kv Brushless Inrunner!
As beautiful as it is powerful, economical, and responsive. Programming is a snap. Power transitions smoothly from any speed to any speed. Brakes are seemingly as tight as my nitro with 4 wheel disc brakes. Drag brake feels as though im driving my TA04 with TRF Brushed motor, I cannot tell the difference. I am a lucky guy, I got my hands on two of these ESCs as well as two of the X-Car 120a ESCs. I've had over 2 years of constant perfect working performance from the 120a ESCs and I am sure these 80a X-Cars will be no different, although one will be allocated to shelf queen duty behind glass display case windows!!!!
If you can get one....DO IT!!!!!!!

Using this ESC with a turnigy sensored 13.5t motor in my sakura D4 and it is brilliant, if anything it is too much power for drifting, i only have the throttle end point set to 40pcnt on my transmitter and all the timing and launch speed turned down and turbo turned off in the programming. i even remoed the fan as it just did not need it as it never even gets luke warm even after 2 hours constant drifting. also programing could not be any easier using the usb adapter with software, BTW here is a direct link for anyone trying to find the software.(http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uploads/69513188X1770622X28.zip).

I have several XCAR ESC ( 60A, 80A and 120A version). I use in all esc hobbywing firmware and works perfect. Super smooth start and simple programing ( i use usb pc programmer) . I install 80A esc in RC10 B4 2WD buggy with 8.5t sensored motor and no FAN in ESC ( i removed it). ESC only get warm. Motor stay cold before 30 minutes running with one 5000mah 2S Lipo.
