LOSI DBXLE 2.0 Pre Run Checks & problem found ? Castle xlx2 800kv slow speed ? Log shows the problem

[@moereefer]

I I learned the hard way started my nitro without finding out my receiver batteries that controls throttle and brakes was dead and it it off hit a telephone pole in the air then smashed my cars windshield. Yea pre check everything even my real cars. Good one there Earl thanks again brother 👍🏻

[@randythompson1723]

Nice education on reading the Castle Data Logs! 😎💯💯💯

[@Bluecuban71]

I definitely check my equipment before a run , usually the night before . I'm understanding more why reading the data is important. Great video , we all make mistakes, just glad you show us how to fix them 😀 👍

[@SCrcSd]

But u can access data with hobbywing Bluetooth on the sensored motors or limited data if just esc with other motor

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Can’t change the ness art iteams you need to adjust as they added it but doesn’t work good at all 👍

[@henryfoster3212]

Thank you for telling us to take the battery man we got to always look out for him you know but they can cause a lot of problem when you run thanks Earl you have a good day have a great run

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks 🙏

[@gamechangerrc4633]

Great video as always👊👊💯💯

[@nealgibson4043]

Thanks Earl. I really appreciate all your videos.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks 🙏

[@carlosvelazquez4649]

Pre run check up is always a good idea

[@reconrc1787]

Great info bud. Thanks for sharing your findings.

[@RoostedFilms]

Always check my stuff before I run, especially if I'm planning on going hard. Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes plus the distance we travel to run don’t want issues 👍👍

[@Johnwick-ed7vo]

Sweet video always informative

New horizon hobby 8s rc’s will include safe D style pinions

[@never-stock-rc2968]

That's 3s pack was crazy! Whoaaa

[@danielcase2189]

I'm going with 53 54 ish mph now that you got the issue with it figured out.

[@StoneFPV-]

I just got my first 1/5 scale and they’re a whole different animal! Now I understand why people love them lmao! Thanks to these videos I think a dbxle is next on the list. Quick question though, I’ve been having issues with one brand of battery and haven’t been able to find a answer to how far apart a cell can be before it’s concerning?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

When fully charged if a cell is 3.99 and lower and the rest at 4.20 each cell then it’s no good

[@StoneFPV-]

@@earlmoorhead5555 ok thanks!

[@zeisslersrccars9696]

Cool new videos in my nightshift

[@marcelwunsch5300]

The combo of the esc and this older spectrum stuff is the problem

[@jacobhenson3952]

I used to have good luck with those batteries but not lately.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Me to 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jimmygeorge4268]

EARL….I’ve always use POWERHOBBY batts…for years,,,not one issue in 8 years…just my choice 🇺🇸👈🚘

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I’ve been lucky with lectron pro but I needed a big mah rated pack it was all I could find locally

[@khrisyeet8022]

Mine did that before. It ended up being weird like the castle was set to ccw rotation and the controller was on cw rotation. I ended up doing the whole start up hold trigger till beep, reverse till beep neutral till beep thing. Along with changing the motor rotation in castle link. I'm sure it's something goofy like that.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Definitely something like that I’ve had that happ as well that why I reset trigger end point as castle is easy to do but after three attempts and playing with the power switch and nothing changed I knew something was broken 👍⚠️⚠️

[@soundmindtv2911]

Like my Dad taught me, when trouble shooting, when you find the problem, keep looking for the other problems, because it's rarely just one. Hopefully the radio swap solves it. Maybe your 3pos switch is faulty and stuck on low.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes I feel the radio was bad and I swapped it out now it’s marked bad

[@detroitrcwurks998]

You able to get pinion off using red loctite. I just use blue but for new pinions I use blue take light heat up pinion real fast to dry loctite remove grub than apply more loctite again and good 2 go. Never had 1 fall off yet. New pinions need at least 2 coats of blue or they'll fall off everytime....

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes red takes a little heat but removes easily

[@dshow1658]

If you put the locker spool in middle it’s unreal difference!

[@joseCalderon1976]

Earl. Do you calibrate your ESC? Like the throttle, brake and neutral? I didn't see you do that. I made that mistake and I had a runaway.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes 👍

[@snakes301271]

good old gens ace. stopped buying them 15 years ago lol

[@moereefer]

My genace same ones did same think they actually just was hard packs but swollen trashed them the proper way. They didn’t last long??

[@gratefuldabs9775]

Earl I need help. I got the outcast 4s and I don’t know how to solder the capacitors to my xt90s. The wires come from the esc into the caps and then they come out the other side of the caps and into to IC5s somehow. I can’t find a video showing how to wire it to an xt90. Any advice? I’ve never seen wires come out both sides of the caps. They run into the middle of the IC5s somehow. Are those just telemetry wires? Can I just cut em off?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Cap pack is soldered to the red and black esc main power wires not to the connectors I have videos showing how to install a cap pack 👍

[@earlmoorhead5555]

The wire your looking at is the telemetry wire it’s not needed

[@bigmusclerc5967]

I have two 3S packs the same battery my battery did the same thing they are only 7 months old

[@earlmoorhead5555]

They are definitely not a good battery pack brand

[@Paul0088]

Lucky that lipo not catch fire when it burst open

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes

[@fozzy7199]

have you ever tried vibtra-tite vc3 vs loc-tite on these cars? My brother is a master harley tech but his world doesn't really mesh with these things

[@earlmoorhead5555]

No I haven’t once I find something working I just stick to it 👍👍

[@jakejacob9814]

It's not worth removing the bad cells and making 2 3s packs?

[@michaelvankirk3576]

👊👍💪

[@earlmoorhead5555]

[@mattsimshauser7541]

why don't you use the remaining good cells of your lipo to build a new battery

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Not worth my time
