Xcelorin 1/10th Scale Brushless System

[Xcelorin_Brian]

Post your questions, comments, and setups here for the Xcleorin 1/10th Scale System.

[BrAnDo]

Ive got the XXX-T CR and would like to upgrade to the brushless. Just wondering if NE1 has any info/advice they would like to share?!?!?!

[squirrel]

Find out what everybody else is running for a motor brushless or brushed at your track. This way you won't be over/under powering it. If your just running around a 7.5-10.5 is a good range for speed and run time.

[Tommi]

Any news of Crawler setup update for Xcelorin? Im running LCC with 17.5T and would like to finally get instant backing.

The losi Xcelorin systems are great. Get a sensored system for smoother starts. Not sure what classes you like to run? Stock, Super stock, modified? The Xcelorin speedos are nice and adjustable and have shown to be very reliable.

[Y2KGTP]

Any chance of a firmware update to keep the motor running if the sensor wire comes out?

That would be nice.....:D

I recently purchased the 1/10th scale xcelorin S system. Works great if you nail the throttle, but if I advance the throttle slowly, the truck will lurch forward and then nothing. I can then advance to full throttle, with nothing happening. I've calibrated my throttle per the manual, but still no joy.

Reverse is the same. Works sometimes if you nail it, but if you do it slowly, the car will lurch, and then give up.

The speed control did register my endpoints, as I get the green light at full throttle and the red light at full reverse. Please help!!!

i have a 6400kv combo sensorless and if i case a jump really hard the fan will shut off and when i tap the fan down it will continue working. im just wondering whats going on?:confused: it is in a xxx-t cr.

[Casper]

The fan sounds like it is loose. It is kind of press fit on the center shaft. Fans in offroad cars tend not to last very long. I have not seen any that last a long time. A lot of guys make little cross braces to keep the fans in place and they seem to help them last longer.

thanks, ill try that!

I`m thinking of getting the 6.5 for a XX-4 I just bought . Never had a xcelorin brushless system before and just wondering if anyone has had any problems ? I`ve had many GTB systems in the past and have a Tekin RS Pro in my XXX-T CR . Just looking for something different to try in the xx-4 and XXX-CR .

[Casper]

There systems are great. Very reliable and tunable. You just need a computer.

hi there bit of a question.

i am building a xxx 4 g+ and am at the stag where i'm triing to fit my motor so its low in the mount so to keep the weight low and so that the body sits down flat.

the motor is an xcelorin 4800 from my speed t that has become ground down
the motor is fine just the car is worn

my question has to do with the plastic cover over the wires of the motor and the lenght of the out put shaft of the motor and gearing

how much of the cover can be trimmed or can the motor even run with out the cover?

can i trim the lenght of the motor shaft so it does not go in as far as the belt?

seems like easy question just want to get a bit of advise
also is this a good motor for this buggy?
if so what might be a good pinion gear to start out with for a small semi rough semi loose track with some hard pack clay in the middle of the high traffic zones.
so far a 19 is what i put on , i just want to get used to the car at home
before going to the indoor track this fall, there i will see what motors and gears they run at that track...i noticed that is a popular answer to that question... but iwas just wondering if somebody has a preferance

I had a 4800kv mounted in my xxx-4 but I never ran it. But you should be able to grind off a tiny bit of the shaft for clearance no problem. I even got a photo of the clearance somewhere....

[rc heaven]

awsome!
any trouble with the wire cover hitting the car frame?
i had the motor swun up high in the mount the first time i put it in, this put everthing in line nicely, then i put the body on and it was being held way up by the motor. turning the round mount so the motor is low enough gave me the clearance with the belt and frame issues.
so far i plan on cutting down the shaft a bit like you said and then rounding of the wire cover like it is farthest from the wires already but i will have to follow the edge of the motor all the way to the first wire so the motor doesn't hit the frame as it turns to get gear lash set, doing this completly cuts of one of the two screws holding on the tab cover soo i'm glueing the two parts together

[Y2KGTP]

I am guessing it looks like this? I was going to grind down the shaft, but ended up selling the buggy before I ran it.....

yep that sure looks familiar.
with the gear i have my shaft is touching the belt and pushing it out of the way
can't have that!!!
your poor pinion gear looks like it has been to war a few times..hahaha..

Sad, isn't it? It's a Robinson racing gear.....brand new :rolleyes: I bought the even and odd sets a while back. Will have to replace with some better quality ones down the line...at least they spin true.....

i have a 7500kv unit that did the same thing floor it and it might jump forward then nothing then some times it would look like it was having a seizure. I sent it back into horizon they worked on it and sent it back and it did the same thing so my hobby guy just started ordering new parts first he put on a new esc with no luck then a new motor no luck then a new capacitor and it worked finally and only 8 weeks later. My problem now is it has only about 45 mins. on it and the esc smoked out . this is my first xcelorin unit and most likely my last i am going to sent it back in and see what thy want to do. I am not optimistic so if any of you losi or horizon employes want to help me that would be great !!

a fews things pop at me here in this story...
first 7500 kv might be a bit high for an of road truck, and might make extra heat in the esc,
second, the capacitor is extremly important to the life of the esc, if the esc was used with a missing or malfuntioning capacitor it can damage the esc.

best part of the story was how you sent it in for repairs and it came back still broke!!!!
you might want to make a point of that

i think it says alot about the products and service...it's like buying a loto ticket
i gave up on costomer service and warranty repairs.
just pay for another one and you might get a good one or quit the hobby like many poeple do when tired of getting ripped off

[dirtracer]

Well quiting is out of the question! I must say if you want to stop a conversation just start talking about problems with a company like losi or horizon, not what i was expecting.


I love my losi desert truck and my xcelorin 7500kv system (the short time it ran) as i said iam going to send it in and see what happens will let you know. here's hoping i get lucky :D:confused::eek::cool:

[rc heaven]

hope it works out for you, just bad luck with the system
mine is working great even on it's second car

[Pete720]

How have you folks found the Xcelorin speedo to be competitively? I just ordered one to try out in my JRX-S Type R after my SXX speedo caught on FIRE. No one at my track runs Losi speedos, all LRPS and Tekins but I have become such a fan of my JRX-S that I figured let me add another Losi product to the car. I have a ROAR electric regional coming up in 2 weeks and I am running out of time to find a good speedo to go with a 10.5.

[Pete720]

Also what is the difference between the 9500 and the 9515 speedos?

[Casper]

9500 is sensored only. 9515 is sensorless so it will run any motor but only in sensorless.

9500 is best for racing as it will have more bottom end control. 9515 allow you to run sensorless motors which are just insane if you like to go fast! :eek:

[Pete720]

Hmm. I think I got the wrong one. I bought the 9515 which I will be attaching to a Epic Duo 2 in my JRX-S which can run sensored or sensorless. Guess I will find out if it will still be competitive on the track. Thats what I get for not reading the fine details.

[JustWill75]

How have the team drivers been doing in 2wd buggy and truck and 4wd. I plan on being the only Losi racer in the area and just want to crush everyone. I just ordered the 13.5 combo do I need to do anything to this system prior to racing. what is the best setup for a buggy?

[Casper]

The xcelorin system has been working great for the team. The 13.5 system works great. Very competitive with the other systems out there. Very reliable as well!

13.5 is used in super stock. If you want to run a mild mod I would recommend the 10.5 which run super strong as well.

[JustWill75]

thanks Casper but I'm sticking with 13.5 since that seems to be the motor choice here in metro Georgia area. Any gearing ideas would help alot.

[Metalracer2]

I installed the new software setup program and now I can’t get the USB adapter to work the light just stays red. Is anyone else having this problem?

[Pete720]

Hey Casper, I got it swapped out. Going from the 9515 to 9500. Are any of the team members running the 9500 tied to a 10.5 in a JRX-S Type R? I have never used a Losi ESC before but I really love the computer software for setting it up. May have even convinced a fellow family member/racer to get an Xcelorin now :) Also any tips? I am planning on running the 9500 in our upcoming ROAR regional next weekend.

[Casper]

I have not run a TC so not sure I can be of much help. Hit up the guys in the electric onroad section or PM Todd Hodge.

As for 13.5 gearing in a buggy. To be honest it has been so long since I have taken the motor out I forgot what I have it geared at. I will check and let you know!

[Xcelorin_Brian]

Metalracer2 - Did you uninstall the old version of the PC Setup Software before you installed the new one?

[Metalracer2]

Metalracer2 - Did you uninstall the old version of the PC Setup Software before you installed the new one?

yeah i did

[losimf1]

did you figure your problem out cause i have the same thing going wrong

[jdawg]

the lurching is a battery that cant handle what the motor needs for power. i just had the same problem, bought a lipo 7.4v 4800mah and the problem went away.

[Metalracer2]

no i didn't
i haven't even tried

[Cooperd82]

i got the 9574 (4800kv combo) ive used as low as a 1300ma battery with out any issues besides just being a low power, but for for messin around in the yard it doesnt matter much.
Only problem ive had with the system so far is tryin to get the AQPC card reading on the speed controll at the track, and thats only changing default profile 1 from 3s lipo to 2s.
Currently mid process of goin from Nihm to lipo.

[dirtracer]

Well so far this year i have went through 2-xcelorin 7500kv and 1 xcelorin 10.5 systems so i guess u could say so far not good oh and losi well lets just say not much help their, dont get me wrong they try but have yet to do anything that was of any help. If anybody has any ideas or bad luck cures please let me know thanks.:confused::confused:

Well thats not good news.. Im getting ready to purchase a system and was considering an Xcelorin 10.5 system.. But may reconsider and go with Tekin..

[Casper]

There are many things that can cause ESC and motor failures. Some of it is hardware related and some of it is user error. Hard to tell which one causes issues. I would say it is pretty odd to have that many failures in a row. I have had great luck with my 9500 series speedo's. They have run flawless and the motors run super strong. The losi 10.5 is one of the best motors in there line as well. Sorry to hear of your issues. What temps were the speed control and motor running at?

[Cooperd82]

one problem ive had that i got rid of was reading the card that comes with the Esc. i just added a 2c lipo smart cutoff. i got tired of tryin to change the default 1 on the 9547 combo, does get to be a hassle to try gettin the card to read to change 3c to 2c. now i just swap 2 plugs and go. next thing ive been lookin at is changing the 4800kv to a 13.5T to run in our tracks stock class.

only real question would be, What is a good 13.5T motor to put with the Xcelorin Esc?

Side note. i dont have an Iphone but i was thinking how nice it would be to have an app that u could change the Esc settings using the phone vs using a pc or laptop at the track. just a thought.

[Casper]

That would be pretty sick to be able to use an iphone to program your ESC!

The smart card does not work with the latest updated of the ESC firmware. The Xcelroin 13.5 are great motors. A matching pair to go with an Xcelorin speedo!

[schenkies]

I have a Xcelorin S system which I ran with a new Xcelorin 17.5 motor yesterday. Every now and then the motor blocked completely. It did not go forward or backwards. It looked like gogging but even if I pushed the car to some speed it never started spinning. When I turned off the system and turned it back on either it was working again normally or all LEDs were blinking and I had to turn it off again. This behavior happened often after a sudden stop (small crash) but it also happened while driving.

I setup the system again and checked the sensor cable (looked undamaged) but the motor still blocks now and then. The Xcelorin ESC I used a couple of weeks ago with a Xcelorin 6.5 motor in my buggy without any problem.

Can the sensor in the 17.5 motor be broken?

well my temp. never got higher then 128 on motor, esc or battery. I must say my last 13.5 is running great i am so glad i did not go to another brand unit and thanks to horizon for always helping!

[Xcelorin_Brian]

schenkies - If all four LEDs are blinking that indicates that the ESC has detected a sensor fault. Most often this is caused by a bad sensor wire. Do you have another wire that you know to be good to try or can you try your wire in another system that you know to be good?

[schenkies]

It was the wire. I tested both the wire in another system with the same result and tested a known good sensor wire on the first system and that solved the problem.

As this was a brand new wire I suppose there is warranty on it. Who do I contact to claim a replacement?

[Xcelorin_Brian]

Schenkies - PM sent.

[B44USTA]

Hey guys,

Just joined up today to see if any of you can help me with setting up my Xcelorin ESC.
I can only get as far as the solid blue LED coming on before it says to turn off ESC power then turn it back onn.
In normal operation the blue LED is ment to be onn..? When I turn off and back onn all the LED’s on the ESC keep flashing.
I have steering but no throttle. I’ve done all the updates to the firmware etc but still nothing.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

[Xcelorin_Brian]

B44USTA - The blue LED is lit to tell you that it is in forward only mode. If all four LEDs are blinking it could indicate a sensor wire problem. Check to make sure that the wire is seated well into the ESC and motor. You could also try another sensor wire if you have one handy. Let me know how it goes.

[Chris K]

Any idea when the software will be revised to work with Vista 64 &/or 7 64????

[KrisO]

Hi, im new to the forum. the reason i joined is because of an issue Im having with one of my 1/10 sensored combos. After around 2 minutes of flawless running the speed control stops and lurches forward a few times then quits for a few seconds. After a few seconds it turns back on and glitches like crazy until it quits totally. if I temp the speed control it is roughly 75 degrees and the motor is under 110 degrees.Ive tried turning off the lipo cutoff and it made no difference. My batteries are SMC 20c 5000mah lipos.

I called Losi directly with a number given to me by Horizon Hobby.I must say that the customer service is terrible and in desperate need of attention. I could definately tell the guy on the phone just wanted me off the line and I was nice as could be.

Recently, there has been a lot of racers local to me in Ohio that have had defective Xcelorin motors and ESC's right out of the box. Electronics in this hobby are very pricey.Imagine this scenario.......you wait all week for your local hobby shop to receive your new combo that was over $200.You know its coming in and your excited and rush down after work to pick it up. You get it home and install it and it goes up in smoke instantly.So, since warranty works through manufacturer only, you call them only to receive an attitude from the person representing the company.

If anyone can be of any help we in Ohio would appreciate it greatly. I speak for at least a dozen racers local to me and i feel partly responsible because a lot of them followed my recommendation when purchasing this product. im sorry I used this forum to vent but my hope is that someone high up in the company reads this and realizes that it happens to so many of us and that the customer service needs to be better.

[MickeTT]

Just started running my 6.5T Combo in my *** B4 and the first time It did run great. Before the second time I did a firmware update and since then I have had problems with it.
As long as I'm rolling it works great but from start or when I stop it takes 2-3 seconds and some joggling of the throttle to get the motor going again. I can give it full throttle, the green led on on the esc turns on indicating full throttle but the motor doesn't turn at all. Give the wheels a litle push and the motor starts.
I have checked all wires, switch (and checked) the sensorwire, tried another reciever, updated the firmware a couple of times and the fault is still there. I have never run the esc above 60F and the motor 90F (I always tempcheck after every run, a nitrohabit I guess? ;o)

Could there be a faulty motor or is there a way to clean the sensor electronics in the motor?

[wylie]

Got my combo 6.5t on tuesday, returned it on wednesday with same faults as above :-( Hope Losi UK sort it out for me ASAP as i wanted to race Sunday.

[giuseppe.fosso]

Hello everyone,
is the first time I buy a Combo Xcelorin 3.5T 1 / 10, LOSB9550, and I think the last. What happened to me is a nightmare. I just finished programming the parameters of the gas, brake, etc.etc. And after I clicked on the button "firmware update", after a few seconds, the reading was blocked and I received the following window: READ ERROR 4 ". From that moment I had no more connection between the PC and the ESC, which had by then turned on the yellow LED.
You think there is a way to solve my problem without sending it in for service? Assistance Losi, is making me wait 3 to 4 days, to get a simple answer to any questions that I offer, and the weeks go by. Meanwhile, I could never see in my work kit Combo.
I hope there is someone who can give me a hand me deeply, because i'm in despairthey, and I would avoid sending it in for service, since the shipping costs to be addressed and waiting times for repair.
Thanks to all

[wylie]

Losi UK (HORIZON HOBBY) impressed me with there turn around, i sent it back on Wednesday and it was returned on Saturday. it now appears to be working fine but only a race day will confirm this! My only moan was that ihad to pay the postage to send it there.
Was due to race on Sunday but poor weather put an end to that.
Thanks Losi

[Tibor]

I have problem. If i unplug Lipol conektor without switching off switch,
then all settings go fail and i have to reset ESC to default with PC and then setup it.
Sometimes get this fail when switch is off and i unplug or plug LiPol.

I am alone with this problem?

[Chris Furman]

LOSI - When is "TURBO TIMING" coming to our ESC firmware? This functionality in on-road is really needed for bigger tracks and you can really tell the difference on a Tekin or LRP. I may have to buy one of your competitors products.

Is it even being tested or worked on?

[psycmx]

I bought my Xcelorin 13.5 combo at the start of the summer. As I went to update the firmware it gets to 75% then cuts off and I get the yellow light of death. Luckily enough I was able to swap mine at the local hobby store for a new ESC. Since then I'm too worried to touch the firmware or ill be stuck having to send it off and we race every weekend. Also I don't understand why they didn't make a better on/off switch. The plastic around mine is all cracked and for some reason racing last night I had to switch profiles three times. I had to hold the switch just right before I could press and hold the setup button.

Two other people at our local club have had their Xcelorin Esc catch fire. We all race either XXX or B4 buggies with 13.5 and its a very fun club.

I will never buy a Losi xcelorin ESC again.

just my experiences.

[Michael Guzman]

Just put my 13.5 in and its fast! I already have a 6.5 combo in my 4wd and I love it! Keep up the great work losi!!!

[Briguy]

Performance has been great with my 6.5 system . Just can`t keep the fans in one piece . The blades always come right off .

[Michael Guzman]

When my fans break, it's because the turn marshalls grab my body and end up hitting the fan.. Besides that the fan doesn't break at all.

[pete the plett]

:mad:I have returned to cars after some years, been doing rc boats and planes at world level.
thought lipos would be great for cars now so thought I would try cars again.

last week bought a 1/10 4wd buggy, was told xceleron systems were ok. So got a 4.5t combo.
on thursday last. had problems getting the software to load on windows 7.

sorted that one. Programmed no drag and 60percent brake and 2.4ghz setting.
still got drag brake. So installed firmware update.

Now lights show the stick movements but no motor running. every now and then, if you push the stick forward a few times the motor will run. as long as you dont stop the motor it will run.

tried redoing the firmware again and the program changes but no luck.

After using brushless systems since the early astro and aveox systems, which were great. With the aero and boat esc's we dont have this problem.
I am not suprised people give up this hobby. A competitive 4wd 1/10 buggy,esc, batteries and chargers costing over a $1000 all together. they should be better than they are.
I am UK based and bought mine from a local shop. I will be taking it in tomorrow.
I will keep you informed on what happens.

Pete

[pete the plett]

Hi Guys,
my store returned the controller to horizon in the uk monday.
They checked it tuesday. Found out it had a faulty part inside.
sent a new controller on tuesday and I picked up from my store wednesday.:):)

I ran it in my Assoc B44 last running standard spur gear with a 16t pinion on a 4.5t losi motor. it was clocked at over 60mph. its a shame we only have about a 60yard run.

Thanks for the great support

Pete

[hammercj]

Is the xcelorin 6400kv Brushless system LOSB9575 with a losi 25c lipo a good match for the Strike?

[Casper]

That will be a LOT of motor. I would think the 4800 in the sensorless side would be plenty of motor for the strike. I would recommend spending the little extra and going with a 10.5 sensored system. About the same motor as the 4800 but will be more controllable on the bottom end.

[schenkies]

I experience the same problem but I haven't touched the firmware. The ESC worked great for months but now it just startet cogging with low speeds and from start you need joggling the throttle to get the car running. As I tested with another ESC and another sensor cable, I know it is something with the ESC.
MickeTT, could you solve the problem?

//Schenkies

[mojo.309]

What does it mean when turning on the exceliron esc the blue light comes on then all four lights blue green yellow red all start flashing at the same time? i have steering but no power to the 6.5 motor ? when tuning it on earlyer in the day everything worked fine but when i came back to it all the led lights started flashing any ideas? thanks

[schenkies]

Mojo.309, most likely is your sensor cable not connected or faulty. Try with another one.

[artsifrtsi]

I was excited to get my 1/10 crawler esc for my LCC last night. Got it all soldered up, powered on to check it for operation, worked great. Powered down and flashed the firmware, went smooth with no issues. Powered back on, rebound to my TX, it worked for a little over 5 minutes and bricked... now only the solid yellow light comes on, and I get error 4 on the software. I really want to start driving this RC, but at this rate it'll never happen...

[xrfordy]

I had a 6.5T ESC and brushless motor, when it ran well it went a treat. Reverse was a little temperamental and the Sensor wire ALWAYS broke due to the engine location, but somehow, with it swithced off, with a 9.6V Nimh attached, it melted itself. Completely destroyed, so hot the positive wire that joins the battery to the ESC melted and detatched itself. To this day i cant figure out why, but despite its awesome performance, i would never buy one again, went the Traxxas velineon and that is a dead simple ESC to use.

[dano-6807]

just bought an xcelorin 4800kv for my xxx4g+. Extremely Fast, but it only lasted about 15 mins....then the car slowed to a stop and when I hit the throtle, it just makes whining sounds like the motor is jammed, but its not. If I give the car a push, then sometimes it will take off and run fine untill I stop again....then it does the same thing. Not over/under geared and using a 7.4 lipo, any ideas????????:confused:
Thanks!

[Casper]

Lipo cutoff happening? 15 min is about the time you should get depending on the mah rating of the lipo.

[dano-6807]

It wasnt the LVC, I put the pack in another vehicle with a bigger motor and got another 10 mins out of it. I'm using a SMC 6000 mah lipo. Still not sure the problem is, i've never had that happen before??? I usually get about 25 to 35 mins of run time on this pack with a 5700kv motor. Even with a fully charged pack it does the same thing.

Hi

New to this forum but not to RC.

I think we all know by now that the quality of xcellorin speedos is at most dodgy.

Have two of them now, one with no problem whatsoever, running in my son TC5 with a 6.5t, the other stopped working one day for no apparent reason (5.5t) sent it back to my purchase shop in England, very good service from them and Horizon UK who replaced the unit with a new one rapidly.

Tried to load the new software to my desktop, would not work, tried the site download, same, would not recognised the speedo, spend a couple of hours, eventually setting the speedo manually with the AQPC to realised that the motor rotated backward.

Spend at least 4 hours trying all sort of things until I connected to my laptop with the old software, there, still no joy until I decided to unplug the sensor cable, and then everything went well, full connection and programming so maybe this might help a few of you, try unplugging the sensor to set up your speedos.

At least I know that if there is a problem the aftersale service is good, so we are off to the track next week end to see if everything works as it should be.

Enjoy your racing!!

[tmaxx]

iv just put a 10.5 in and its cogging at low speeds waas fine wit 13.5 is it motor not compatilble

[Casper]

The ESC is good for motors down to 3.5 I think. I run 10.5 all the time and I now guys who run down to 5.5 in offroad. There is something else wrong like a bad sensor wire or a bad sensor on the board of the motor. This is assuming this is the only motor that has a problem.

[DazRCrazy]

My esc today decided to lose its mind:confused: now when I connect to my laptop it shows the esc software version as 4.04.04.04 and even after updating the software this still just stays the same. what should I do?

[olly986]

It seems that the speedo does not like some electric motors like Novaks for exemple, is your 10.5t a losi or other, is your 13.5t a losi or other?

As for the software issue, I do not want to complain again about it, remove the previous version on your compy and reload it, with me the older version works, the new one never worked and the discs (2 of them) never loaded properly on XP.

Enjoy your racing...

Mine has just done this today too!

Brian, anything we can do? I've tried re-setting it and it hasn't worked

[Dr_UpGrade]

Can anyone from losi help with this firmware code output as already requested?

[Orgnoi1]

I am amazed... I really like my Losi gear... but I just got off the phone with Horizon Hobby who told me that they "do not work on" their own products out of freaking warranty... what in the world is this mayhem?!?!?!?

That doesn`t sound right . Call back and ask for a manager or supervisor .

[mycrors4]

Hey guys, im new here
i recently got the xcelorin system for my crawler, its the non-crawler version, but i got it in a trade with the 17.5t motor too.
Im running it in my 2.2 scaler. The fan runs VERY hot, im not sure why, if i dont run the fan, then the esc tends to run a bit hot. Is this normal? im only using 7.2v nimhs. any ideas?

[rc8xxx4]

Hey guys I've got a xxx-4 g+ and would like to know which xcerlorin brushless system and lipo battery would be a good choice. This car has been a shelf queen that I'd like to race sometime in the near future. I was out of the hobby for awhile and had a novak gtx and a 10 x 2 brushed motor with 3600 matched cells in this car.....I guess it's time to upgrade.....help:)

LOSB9500 with a 6.5 or 7.5 motor would be best.

[tman]

i`ve got a 17.5 xcelorin system, i`ve had problems with it after i jump it just stops then after a few seconds it goes again.

[Frank Root]

Do you lose steering too?

Which ESC do you have? Part Number?

[slammedwagon]

Hey guys all new to the brushless systems. I just got a 13.5T combo and put it in my TC car.It was running mint when i was using a 3300 nimh battery and now iv got put in a turnigy 5200mh 2s 30-40c lipo. I had adjusted the setting to run lipo with a LVC of 6.4v put in in and went to run it but nothing (it jerked) but thats all it would do. after about 30 secs i pulled the battery off and went to check the setting inside the esc via laptop and felt the motor and it was hot.

Now why is it doing this?? can someone help me

[slammedwagon]

also when i was using the nimh when it started to go flat the motor would make a like a struggling sound. After i pulled out the lipo and put the nimh back in it ran fine the battery had some juice in it but not much and then the motor started making the sound again and wouldnt go. But it would go when there was no pressure on the motor (so when it was in the air.

also can i use another motor on the esc say like an lrp or a different brand?

[slammedwagon]

:mad: well after spending a whole day on it adjusting this and adjusting that iv had enough.so in the bin it goes and never touching losi again!!!:mad:

[Briguy]

:mad: well after spending a whole day on it adjusting this and adjusting that iv had enough.so in the bin it goes and never touching losi again!!!:mad:

All I can say is WOW !

Your new to brushless and the next day your giving up ? Maybe you should have a friend or even a hobby shop look at it before blaming Losi .


It is possible the problem in the brushless but also very possible you do not have it setup correctly , being your new to brushless .

[Frank Root]

:mad: well after spending a whole day on it adjusting this and adjusting that iv had enough.so in the bin it goes and never touching losi again!!!:mad:

Can you give me a run down of your entire setup and all of the settings/things you have tried? The more detail the better. I will do what I can to help.

even tho im new to brushless its not hard to put a motor in and programme the esc. in all the programme is very similar to programming a microtek or even a haltech automotive ecu. I took it into the the shop that i buy all my stuff from and he said that motor seems to be binding up inside. And well i cant wait another day to or month to send it back to horizon from NZ as there is a big meeting today.
So yesturday i brought a muchmore Fleta 3 and a lrp x12 13.5t pluged in up and adjusted the settings for lipo with a LVC of 6.3 and boom i was away. so i maganed to have a hour and a half to hit the pratice laps.and ran well. But if you guys have faith in losi i will send it to horizon and see what they say

[slammedwagon]

Frank

Hi frank, Well today at the track after the racing.I was using the muchmore fleta and x12 lrp brushless came 4th overall in modified. Had a few guys trying to get the losi xcelorin going. we thought we had it going as we had done a couple of laps and then on the 3rd lap when we went over the ripple strip through the chicane it stop dead and was glitching when you moved the throttle.so we talked over to it and picked it up and was still doing it wouldnt move checked the temp 50deg cel. checked it over and all seems fine but while in the air we turned the wheels and moved fine, put it on the ground and went to throttle (easily on the trigger) and poff up in smoke the motor went and also blew the yellow wire off the motor.

Im running a trf416x with the xcelorin 13.5t brushless system, turnigy 5200mh 2s 30-40c lipo, dx2.0 controller.

all i can say is that after this experince im never touching this gear again.will be staying with the muchmore from now on.

[olly986]

Well I think that at this stage it is well know that about 1 every 3 Xcelorin run into trouble, I hear that there is a new model coming out soon...

[OneKiwi]

What do I do

I have 2 that I need to spin to start or push the car to start them.
1 with a 6.5 the other with a 13.5

I read another story that was similar that as long as the car kept moving or the rotor kept spinning then it would spin.

I don't know what the problem is
1 the capacitor blew up and nearly caused a fire so now after a replacement capacitor has the same problem as the otherone.

Will HH look at them for replacements if the capacitor has been replaced?
Wires shortened?
power wires replaced?
Not having the original receipt avalable?

But if it is a question of its the insde the esc that is the problem that shouldn't matter right?

[Briguy]

Horizon does not repair Xcelorin motors and ESCs after the warranty period is up . Makes no sense to me why .

FWIW: I tried to order an Xcelorin 17.5 motor through my LHS and was told that not only was Horizon "out of stock" but that the motors have been "discontinued"..???

Yes, most of the Xcelorin Motors are out of stock at this point.

[chiro972b]

Frank,

I just downloaded the latest software and firmware for my xcelorin 1/10 sensored esc. After I did that, it now won't read or update the ESC. I get a read error trying to get the current settings and when I put in new values that I want and try to send to the ESC I get an error on that also.

I had just connected my laptop with the losi program to the xcelorin and had actually read it just fine and had updated the values I wanted but I thought I should get the latest firmware before I sent the new settings to the ESC. After the firmware update is when the problems started. Couldn't read or write to the ESC. I tried the quick programming card and could not ever get a red led on the ESC either. The led on the card would turn solid red after a few seconds, but the manual says the esc should have a red led also. It just stays blue.

What is going on? Is there a way to go back to a previous firmware version? Could you possibly email me the file or point me to the file on your site?

Thanks!

Eric Smith

[Briguy]

I would restore your computer to a date earlier then the date you updated the firmware .

[chiro972b]

I would restore your computer to a date earlier then the date you updated the firmware .

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it and now it won't read the esc at all. I get read error 6 and read error 2010.

Now what do I do? The ESC works ok, but I definitely want to set the settings, most importantly my lipo cutoff.

[Briguy]

Try removing the software and then re-installing it .

[chiro972b]

Tried that too. No go.

Also, the computer I'm using has been used to do this with this same ESC many times. I also just checked to make sure I have full administrator rights on this computer and I do. I'm at a loss at this point.

[Frank Root]

For some reason, sometimes the USB drivers from the internet software don't work properly. You can to use the CD to download the software, then use the latest version from Losi.com to update it.

[chiro972b]

Well I tried the thing I saw about reloading the factory defaults after a read error with firmware update. That looked like it worked. Was able to read the ESC and it said that it sent my changes successfully, but when I tried the ESC I had a fair amount of drag brake and I knew I asked for none.

So I plugged it in and tried to do a read and got an error, so I did the factory default thing again and the second time it worked. I was able to make changes and I think at least the changes went to the ESC. I know the drag brake was gone. I just HOPE the lipo cutoff is where I set it since it seemed to want to default back to NiCd mode when things didn't work.

I guess I'll find out if my expensive Losi 6000 mAh 60C Lipo goes up in smoke.

Chiro972b easy way to fix it is remove the the lot from the car and bin it and then use tekin.i had 2 lots of 13.5t units in a row that has trouble after trouble and it also smoked themselves. and horizion didnt want to know about either!!!what sort of service is that?? now ill never touch losi again. plus the tekin runs turbo ;)

[sam1998]

what would be the best brushless motor combo for the 1/10 dt? i want good speed and good run times

[larlev]

Is it normal for the truck w/ the xcelorin installed to jump forward after everything is turned on? Also I had to set throttle trim quite a bit to keep it from going forward after it was installed. I am using a spektrum DX2S radio....is all this normal?

New to this and just want to make sure I haven't done anything wrong.

It sounds like you may want to recalibrate the ESC. It might have a) not been done, or b) not set correctly.

[Keep' N It Cool]

I just put in a 6.5t Sensored combo in my Hyper TT. I took it to the track yesterday to try it out. This is a loose dry track. I am running a 13t pinion with a 42T spur and after about 5 min of run time my motor temp was at 190 deg F, ESC was around 120 Deg F. I was running a 5700kv Castle motor with MMP in it before and couldn't seem to find a gearing combo that worked, and ended up smoking the motor. I have been told a few times now that you can under gear a brushless motor and overheat it as well. This concept makes no sense to me. Anyway my question is, does anyone have a gearing combo suggestion that would work to keep my temps down.

I think it is really a matter of a 540 motor being enough power for the heavy Hyper TT. I know many guys locally fun 550 motors. If the motor is 190*, it sounds like it is geared too high. You can always run a hotter wind (5.5) and this will create more power and should run more efficiently also.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing on the motor size. What would you recommend for a 550 motor.

Where can i find the manual for the LOSB9500 ESC? Am looking for a manual telling you how to calibrate the ESC with the receiver and what each LED on the ESC means, if there is a manual for that.

[Frank Root]

1. Turn on the transmitter.
2. While turning on the vehicle Press and Hold the setup button, notice the
Yellow LED is now ON solid. When the Yellow LED is on solid, you can release
the setup button.
Note: If you cannot get the ESC to Calibrate, you may need to reverse your Throttle Servo on the transmitter.
3. Using the throttle trigger pull Full Throttle until the Green LED is ON solid.
4. Next push the throttle trigger to Full Brake until the Red LED is ON solid.
5. Now return the throttle trigger to the Neutral position and the Blue LED is
ON solid.
6. Turn off the vehicle/ESC power switch.
7. Turn the vehicle/ESC back ON; you are now ready to use the ESC.

Only Sensored.

[Keep' N It Cool]

Well I raced my Xcelorin system for the first time this last weekend. Temps were good at 165F running an 11t pinion. First heat went well. Half way through the second heat, I hit a jump, landed cleanly on the other side and my TT just turned off. Got it back tot he work bench and the esc will not longer turn on. Checked temps on everything, ESC was at 120F motor was at 166F. Not sure what the problem is, I'm hoping it is just a bad switch. Only had the set up for a week, kind of disappointing.

[chiro972b]

Mine has now started where it won't start the motor but if I give it a push it runs fine until the wheels come to a complete stop then it won't go. I have tried to call horizon for two days now but can't get through.

This ESC maybe got 3-4 race days out of it. I cannot believe they won't support this junk after all the money spent.

[Keep' N It Cool]

I had an issue with my 1/10 sensored ESC. I called the Horizon Tech line and picked the option for them to call me back. I told them my issue and they sent me out a new ESC no questions asked.


Also, can the 1/10 ESC handle a 550 motor?? I want to run it in my SC truck.

[rbryant417@aol.com]

I have a Losi Strike and just put a brand new Losi Xceleron brushless ESC 7500kv motor (LOSIB9576) in it. I finally got the ESC programmed correctly and after running it for less than 5 minutes the capacitor caught on fire and burned up.
I was running a 5000 mah lipo 3 cell battery, also brand new.
What in the world did I do wrong? I had the ESC software set it to the default settings, including the 3 cell lipo. I ran it full speed for no less than 30 seconds total and it actually caught on fire and burned.
I had already burned up 2 brushed motors so I bought this brushless motor thinking that would help.
Any suggestions before I replace yet another motor? All of the gears are what can on the car.
Thanks!

What vehicle was this in? Gearing? Radio?...etc?

[Neobart]

7500kv and 3s sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

[olly986]

was going to say that too! your gearing must be way off, take the temp of your motor and speedo after 1mn then 2mn, if it is too hot, your gearing is wrong. motor=60/80 degree celsius is fine.

I would stick to 2s for tenth scale

[rbryant417@aol.com]

20-tooth pinion and a 90-tooth spur gear, what is came with. What type of setup can I use the 5000 3 cell battery with? I am new to this, obviously, si I would love to know how to prevent this in the future.

It just sounds like you are over pushing the system. That motor is Not Recommended for 1/10 Trucks and 3S. You can run 2S, or maybe try to gear down 3-4 teeth.

Brushed motors will all burn up if you are trying 3S.

[olly986]

told you above, loose the 3s and get 2s 7.4v packs, for speed, 60C are good in whatever you want 5500 or more for duration.

I need some advise. I burned up the capacitor with a 3 cell battery so I ordered a new Losi capacitor and installed it. I plugged in a 5000 mah 20-30C 2 cell 7.4 volt battery and as soon as I pulled the remote trigger the new capacitor burned up.
What did I do wrong? There is a black and red wire coming from the ESC but the wires on the capacitor ar the same color. I connected the longer on to the red wire. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? The motor ran, but like I said it fried the new capcitor.
Very frustrating.

I have a xcelorin brushless system in my Losi Strike it was running great, then i stuck a lipo Battery in it now it seems to Cog off the line and under hard excelleration? what would cause this? next question is there away to tune the esc and motor still? seen in the manual LOSB9500 that i need a program card are those still avaiable?

thank you SO much

I don't think it should be stuttering just by introducing a LiPo, that is rather odd.

As for the programming card, this should be the one:

Hello All,

New question just happened 4/19/2012. My son and I were racing with the local club, and he got bumped and slammed into Wall pretty DANG hard! Now it has no power at all, no steering, No throttle, Heck it does not even have any of the Esc lights on.
I have double checked all the connections, pulled the battery and put it in my Slash and it still works. So any suggestions?

Tyvm for your Help

I don't know what it might be. I would generally suggest checking all the connections first. Check all of the solder joints from the power leads especially, to the board, power plug etc. You may have a "cold" soldier joint that broke free with a strong hit.
