I am so glad I saw this video. This is the EXACT same thing that happen to me 3 times in 1 month with my XLX2 ESC. My original xlx2 esc lasted months and was indestructible, then 3 in a row all caught on fire within 1 month (some on the first run) . Common theme was the car landed upside down each time, started cogging, and then blew.

[@trentthomas22]

Hard to believe their still in business. The failure rate has to be about 80% on those xlx2 esc.

[@sampuhhupmas5666]

@@trentthomas22 Most people who post about the XLX2s are the ones who had theirs blow up, so you see more failed ones than working ones.

[@trentthomas22]

[@NepDouble07]

Exact same thing happened to me on my second unit, it stopped moving, cogged, then blew up. My third one was getting ready to blow up after a small impact. It landed on it's roof too, gave me an excessive load error with no throttle. Ran over, took the body off, turned it off, then back on. Smoke came out and I immediately turned it off again. I'm glad I was able to even turn the damn thing off, I almost lost another set of brand new batteries.

[@edct5vbw]

@@NepDouble07 they seem to have some serious quality control issues. Currently on my 5th unit and so far so good but I haven’t landed on the roof yet. Only had it out 4/5 times since the weather hasn’t been good here. Hopefully this one holds up.

[@richduperbash2966]

Appreciate the shout out and kind words Raz 🤗. That FG is absolutely Gorgeous 👀. Talk about Beast. Not sure what happened with your XLX2. Think it was probably a bad unit. Should take harsh hits no problem. The locked center diff might be too much for the outdrives though. A little give with straight Silicone ear plugs will probably work better 👍. M2C Overkill outdrives use hardened tool steel pins. Probably far better than GPM. Don't sweat the rough jumps my friend. Find some smooth take offs and you'll get the feel for jumping Big Girl in no time 😍. She's a wonderful rig. Just keep at it my friend!!!! 🍻😎💪👊👊

Yeah you are definitely the GOAT of extreme bashing you and one other guy is kind of close to you, but still you reign supreme when it comes to extreme bashing....now after I hop off of your nuts lol, I'm going to go order me some Overkill drive shafts

[@richduperbash2966]

@@justNcase843 thanks Brother 🤗. Every 8s upgrade serves a valuable function and was born of necessity. Not saying they're all necessary for a stout basher, but most every part Mitch and Avery have designed started as a request for something better than stock after pushing these heavy Beasts to the extreme 🚀🚀

[@PutiCornio_27]

To be fair everything was fine, Id suggest changing to a hobbywing Max5 800kv setup with 34/39 motor and spur gear. Outdrives need to be M2C Racing or Scorchedparts. Finally when mid air the trigger needs to be fully pressed to make backflips. Center diff with silicone earplugs work a dream 😁👌.

[@Captinfun101]

Pretty much said the exact same . ( which is what’s on my outcast, and kraton expect outcast has the titanium out drives from scorched and the kr8 has the thicker m2c . Should be a good test to see which handles better, both are identical in motor esc and gears , 👍🏼

[@Nexinity7]

i was going to guess he’d use silicone earplugs, not CA 😭

[@0newhester]

as soon as i saw the thumb nail i thought CASTLE CREMATIONS! personally i don’t think castle creations systems are for bashing. they have plenty in of power don’t get me wrong but i’d rather spend by money on a more reliable 1/5/1/6 esc like the MAX5 the prototype xlx2 esc were great but the ones castle has released to the public have been carp sense 3 years so far they have been catching fire an esc gets loads of abuse in basher cars all the throttle control in the air to correct the car and even accelerating from a dead stop (what raz did) the thing still smoked i think castle esc and motor combos are good in speed run cars and crawlers but hobbywing is more reliable in a car like the Outcast 8s EXB as far as my knowledge a old traxxas esc would last longer than a xlx2 in a bashing state of abuse that’s my opinion and your free to have your own

[@SpeedSyko]

DUDE!!!!! NOOOOOOOO! You have my messed up Humor, found your channel by mistake, subbed! 👊🔥👊🔥👊🔥🍻

[@FarmerFpv]

Put 100k front and rear diff fluid and 500k in the center diff. Use a cheap ESC motor combo like a hobby wing and a TP or leopard motor. They seem to do well when bashing. M2C drive shafts. You will then be ready to bash with the best of them. It's not your driving. Locking the diff on a basher destroys everything and it needs to give a little. You got this. You're the RC Goat!

[@voltage_rc6786]

The XLX2 has blown up a lot. Kevin Talbot had 2 go up in flames! I think that this esc needs to maybe be recalled or run it on a lower cell lipo..

[@RazShifrin]

I miss you brother!!! so happy to see you commenting on my channel!

[@gettinhookedtv1761]

Locking the diffs on a basher is very risky. It doesn’t allow for give when bashing and these big trucks need the give space. I always use earplugs with zero issues on everyone of my big rigs! Good experiment though.

[@Pablo668]

I don't think you did anything wrong in particular Raz. The couple of jumps you did weren't great, but plenty of cars shrug off that kind of thing. It seems that some of those Castle esc's just up and decide that it's all too much and lunch themselves. That Audi R8 looks awesome. Looking forward to the build/running.

[@BlackTownie999]

That's one of the reasons I'm not sure if I want to get Castle, I don't have the $$$ to be replacing ESC's and bashing parts...last thing I need is one deciding to commit to hari-kari

[@TheNamesArif]

that bad landing probably broke a component inside and "castle cremation" happened

[@michaelrc9098]

Would definitely reach out to Castle about the ESC, just to see what they say. With the diff, I would of used thick silicone earplugs to still allow a bit of movement (given enough force) whilst still driving as if it's locked, and maybe slightly thicker oil in the front diff for better front end pull when drifting around. Drive shafts breaking? All I can say is "GPM", lol

[@tomasgrigley8844]

Raz running those diffs on thin oil like he's speed running. I knew those diffs wasn't going to last long especially on 8s. I just hat one coming a mile away after a few jumps, but it broke the very first jump.🤦🏽‍♂️😅

[@AutoBodyEverything]

Castle isn’t the blame anymore. No body else is burning xlx2. I think it over revved bcs it was just front wheel. The edit film was just 3 minutes we don’t know how long he ran that with a broken diff.

[@IRONCaptainPanic]

@@AutoBodyEverything I have nothing against castle, they make extremely powerful electronics that don't compare to others, but castle needs to do something about the xlx2 esc's, I am not a pin it wide open basher like these guys are, but 2 of these esc's I have bought, and some of my friends bought who also drive like me have set fire under lower cell batteries, we don't run our rc's past 4 or 6 cell, and they still blow up. I don't know what's going on with them, but at a couple rc meets in Michigan I've went to had over 4 esc fires because of this. system, I've been in this hobby for 6 years and those esc's are something I don't mess with after my experience.

[@deontay79ify]

@@IRONCaptainPanic exactly. It’s the esc for sure. It’s unfortunate cause they are a powerhouse

[@IRONCaptainPanic]

@@deontay79ify that's what I'm thinking, castle creations had made some rc killing motors and esc's over the years, and if this esc wasn't a slight bit of a time bomb, it very well could almost overthrow the hobbywing max esc's altogether, there has to be one main component on the esc's pcb board that is causing this almost outlet sounding pop when it shorts out. The soda can sized motor is very close to the primal rc raminator electric conversion kit, and if castle revises the esc and does some stress testing and locate the problem, this system might be able to be a budget electric conversion kit for the raminator, I am not saying it would 100% work for a kit, but it has potential. For me it's just sad seeing a brand that I've trusted for years of the insane power I crave, slowly, and literally, go up in flames, I'm not ditching Castle yet, I probably wouldn't ever do that, but a thing your so invested into with thousands of dollars put into it to have the most fun since you were younger, burn up and destroy your rc, is not worth the stress of looking at an overdone Thanksgiving turkey. I would be extremely upset. And I'm pretty sure everyone who's had this happen to them is hopefully going to wait until this esc's revised

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

I think xlx2 are hit or miss and I think they work better for on road. Cause ever off road build seems to go up in flames. I dont know if the esc is not packaged securely in the case and somthing arcs out on bumps or hard landings but I'd love to watch you take it apart and see what when wrong inside!

[@JaySingh-ex6xc]

I agree.

[@NepDouble07]

That must be the case, I had an XLX2 in my outcast 8s exb, one was buggy, one caught fire and I never even jumped it, and my third one died from a small impact from a 4 foot jump... They really fucked up with this ESC in all honesty... Saying it's for road only cars seems like such a waste, this ESC is so capable in almost any vehicle when it's built to spec.

[@richardsalinetrojr1957]

This is why when I decided to try building a 2wd slash to try hitting 120mph+ with I used the castle mmx8s. haven't hit my mark yet cause I've literally shattered tranny gears about 8 times so far because of all the power and fact that I blew out 5 tires as well. Lol. obviously i still need to play with settings and whatnot and get the perfect pass working with everything properly just havent had time to rebuild tranny and play with it in awhile. I've had setup for about 9 months now and beat the living shit (about 6 months of everyday abuse) out of the slash with the mmx8s and haven't had a single problem with the power system at all.

Raz I think Castle is the best option if you are looking to do speed runs. For the price you can't get anything to compete with the performance it gives. The problem is that Castle ESCs just aren't the most reliable ESCs. So for performance you give up reliability.

[@valuerc2664]

A lot of people don't like plastic driveshafts in smaller 1/10 scale cars, but they have some advantages, one of them is twisting under high load or shock, so there is less stress on a drivetrain. I had more issues with dog bones piping out, bending and breaking pins than plastic shafts. I am not saying plastic driveshafts are the way to go for big 1/5 scale rcs, or that are better than metal, but they do have some advantage for smaller cars

[@S9RUT]

Aaahhh yes... Castle doing Castle things! Plus; landing properly helps 😆 Needs some titanium driveshafts and silicone earplugs in the centre diff. You don't want locked diffs otherwise you'll just break the drivetrain.

You have to put silicone ear plugs in the center diff and also the castle escs are realy bad your better of with a hobbywing esc like a max 5 or something. (you also need some better driveshafts btw) Maby it's also good to just buy a smaller and easier car to learn bashing like a slash 4x4 or something like that. The traxxas slash 4x4 is a great car for learning how to bash and realy durable. P.S. if you are gonna buy the slash put the hobbywing max10 combo in there with the 3200kv motor goes around 70mph on a 4s lipo Im Dutch, so sorry for my spelling mistakes!

You need to run an in-line fuse from the battery to the ESC and start at like 80 A and keep bumping it til it can handle the speed you want. I used to have a classic Futaba ESC that came with a fuse.

[@michaelsaenz5638]

I have a ton of GPM parts on my kraton 8s. From what i've learned, structural parts like tie rods, steering components, braces, hubs, and most of the a arms are great. The drivetrain parts are not so great. The metal is too soft. Even if its nice and solid when you get it, the holes that the pins are pressed into will stretch out under power and they'll loosen up and fall out. Theyre also very easy to bend by hand. Eventually I'll switch to M2C axles/shafts but for the 6 months i've had it the stock axles have been just fine (better than the gpm for sure). I'm running a Max5 and spektrum 5687 1100kv with 30/47 gearing and it has enough power to backflip even the kraton chassis, runs cool, and is rock solid reliable. Maybe consider a hobbywing esc for the basher? I've never melted a castle but maybe i've just been lucky. I've run silicone plugs in the center since day 1 and its been great.

Always great content, gotta luv a good ESC 🔥 fire,lol... Bash driving is a lot different than going straight. Trigger control is very important for landings, OH YA ! KEEP ON BASHING, OR RACEING! FROM BARRIE ONTARIO CANADA

This Video was awesome

[@colinmorand129]

Just curious, is there a product that cuts the power from a separate switch for this type of blow up? Like a emergency cut off or something

[@ollien3359]

Those FG cars are amazing. Are you going to be doing full hydraulic disk brakes on each corner? Can't wait to see!

[@steveshot81]

The castle esc have issue.Kevin Talbots car caught on fire twice if I’m not mistaken.Esc where brand new.

[@ISOSAILING]

is that not the esc Kev was having problems with blowing up by just pritty much plugging them in? would try a diferant esc make in it if i were you. cool vidieos though cant wate to see your quad motor car running!!

I use m2c overkill driveshafts and have the same setup as you in my kr8 those shafts are indestructible I've beat the hell out of them for months your difs will break before them driveshafts ever do

The yikes factor watching you glue the planetary gears together was 8/10. All good trucks deserve a 'posi-traction' rear diff but you could have taken out the gears and used set-screws / pinion screws some how.. Wish you better luck.

Love the music , dope video

[@GravitySandwich]

I wonder how long it will take until people finally understand Castle can't make proper products. Their ESC's have sadly never been reliable, with fanboys claiming it's always user error.

[@Captinfun101]

Maybe they can’t bash? He seems to send them down the road at 160- 170 no probs . Wonder if the heavy impacts short it out or something?

[@SebastianLong]

I see you have a FG Sportline. I want to get on myself. Maybe this spring. I prefer the gas over electric myself but the chassis' themselves are the same. Is there any issues i should or would need to concern myself with or that you know about?

[@apexdisease6030]

Is the dual motor car still getting the carbon fiber body? That body is sick! As far as the esc fire goes, I'm not sure what would cause it. I would recommend trying the mamba monster x 8s in the next basher, it's not like you need 600 amps offroad lol
