Losi DBXL-E Castle Creations XLX2 and 1100kv Motor! Major Power Upgrade!!

This video is the complete process of fitting my new Castle Creations Xlx2 and a 2028 1100kv motor into my Losi DBXL-E 2.0! Also front and rear diff maintenance was a must for speed running! I had some bad luck with the xlx2, but the truck should be back up soon! Enjoy! Parts list below.

Thank you💪💪

[@rcchallenge8626]

Dam bro that sucks, hopefully be sorted soon. Kart wheel record 💯😂

[@Anton-gz1go]

3:19 😂😂 by locking the center diff up the rear tyres get way more speed and it wheelies more. You can’t compare it with a limitless, which runs better with a locked diff (for speed runs). Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn! Awesome video as always.

[@zagertRC]

Yeah I learned that after this video 😆 My off-road speed run buddy told me you want it more open diff for off-road. I'm new🤣🤣🤙

[@Dos_Rc]

Because that spektrum reciver has avc, first you need to calibrate the reciver full throttle full brake right left after you do that proceed to calibrate the esc wait for the reciver light to turn orange first then pull full throttle and it will go into calibration mode

[@zagertRC]

That's good information! I didn't know this at the time😅👍 Thanks

[@simonphillips4549]

Just disable AVC when the reciever starts job done

[@lnskustoms6795]

Great job. Doing the same build on my channel. Keep up the good work.

Thank you! And it's a great set up. Just bad luck with the xlx2

I'm definitely going to try hobbywing in the future on some cars! But this is the first time I've had real problems with Castle products, hopefully it doesn't continue😅👍

Hopefully it doesn’t

[@Blueknight1960]

Just my .02 cent worth, get the aluminum diff housings for the front and rear. On mine, My driveline is 100% aluminum and steel, no plastic what so ever.

[@zagertRC]

It's definitely on my list of what to upgrade first. What do you suggest? Vitavon parts?

[@Blueknight1960]

@@zagertRC Vitavon is very good but expensive. I have the atop housings and brackets and have held up very well. I do have some vitavon parts including the center diff/motor mount. I also got the losi aluminum center diff and put in the front and rear. They are direct replacements.

[@zagertRC]

@@Blueknight1960 Awesome! I'll have to check those out. Thanks for the info👍

[@Blueknight1960]

@@zagertRC Unfortunately, I was running mine yesterday and a magnet inside the motor came unglued (2028 1100kv). I contacted castle but, haven't heard anything from them yet.

@@Blueknight1960 That sucks man, I never had any problems with a castle motor yet. Fill out a RMA request form and if they send u a RMA number just send it in.

I’m running 34t pinion and 39t spur on my Kraton 8s atm hobbywing max5 combo and every is cold so can gear up getting 37t pinion next

[@zagertRC]

I bet that thing is crazy to drive 💪💪

[@joshchatwin8569]

No way bro this is why Iv not brought one of those I went hobbywing max5 tones of power

[@Blueknight1960]

The hobbywing doesn't compare to the xlx2 in the power department. I had a hobbywing max5 and it failed after 8 mos and the warranty is only 3 mos. I have the xlx2 now and to be honest, while it's a more powerful esc, in my personal experience it isn't made any better than the max5 but it does have a 1 year warranty. This will be my 2nd time using castles warranty. The negative wire on the esc's pcb board has broken, twice.

[@freedom8480]

How does the losi dbxl handle, compared to a kraton or an x-maxx? Is it more basher or more buggy? I really like the looks of it🤩

[@zagertRC]

It's definitely my favorite truck. It handles a lot better than the xmaxx, I don't own a kraton yet so I can't compare too much with them. It doesn't have much air control stock, only because it's so heavy and the tires don't balloon. I highly suggest owning one👍

[@zagertRC]

Also it's built like a tank! Can handle some crazy crashes

[@freedom8480]

@@zagertRC Thanks.I own a Kraton 6s and have driven x-maxx before. Like the Kraton better, more stable. Definitely thinking about getting one of these. Really awesome👌

[@ahwayzcool4630]

I have a xlx2 1100kv on my dbxle also. Only have 18 tooth though. I wanna get some badland tires. Also I wanna ask, what shock springs are you using? My stock rear shock springs sag.

[@zagertRC]

I just have everything stock on the shocks

[@TonyStark-pi3vc]

I put vitavon everything in mine. Much better diff housing design than stock.

[@zagertRC]

I've seen them and they look awesome! I've been debating getting a set.

[@chrisgonzales153]

Yeah tons of cash. I have one all vitavon and one all stock. Vitavon is great for this rig.

[@josediaz6246]

Hey bro have you use a mamba 8s before and if so wyt about it for speed runs

[@zagertRC]

My first castle ESC was mamba 8s in my Limitless. It blew right away speed running, so I traded it for a xlx2. That one is still going strong off hundreds of speed runs and pushing over 600 amps

[@ghost61]

how do you like the flysky nb4. I was thinking about buying one

[@zagertRC]

I love it!

[@JPRC_CRAZINESS]

That’s fast for off road think you can get it?not sure if you know but east tactics jump competition started,sponsored by m2c
