danny boy Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 12awg wire though. Dont the Xerun's have 10awg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The battery wires look thicker to me. Maybe 10awg on the battery and 12awg to the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Looks good, sounds expensive. I like the Xerun and its over-heat sensing capabilities, particularly the motor temp sensing. This is the HW answer to the Castle waterproof range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Like the look of this, may upgrade from my wp sc8 when i decide the Hyper needs 6s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deafty Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Usual non water proof fan though and if it's anything like the Xerun to remove,... says also 4274 size motor or smaller too. Though does say for buggy Edited February 26, 2014 by Deafty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Interesting.....clearly this is the waterproof alternative to the EZRun ....Never been clear on a waterproof fan though. Are the fan motors that susceptable to water damage?Price is on a par with the existing product, so it's just a question of whether it can take the load of a big motor, or if it's limited to shorter cans. Still...a 4274 is not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Ah, now I prefer long can, low kv motors. I've also been led to believe the existing Xerun can handle the mighty 1717 without breaking a sweat, so I reckon I can live without this, especially as my wet-running days are over.

Though does say for buggy Take a look at the last pic the fan wire is unplugged It plugs in the same way the SC8 wp does so is a piece of cake to unplug and remove and makes programming much more easy to access As for a waterproof fan as far as i'm aware even the sc8 and the castle waterproof esc dont have a waterproof fan. Some pluses and some minuses but differently aim towards a kick in the teeth for the new waterproof Castle stuff i'd say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzaClio Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Modelsport have these listed and have done for a week or so. Says on order with supplier, my mate has bought one from Modelsport which is meant to be turning up tomorrow. I look forward to seeing it and how well it holds up. Regarding the fans on my Wp Sc8 I've just unplugged the fan when going in rivers, streams etc and then plugged it back in after and it's been fine. Thanks.

oodboo Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 My xerun is working fine for now. Bought second hand and has been dunked in corrosion x by previous owner. No reason to swap it out now but I know what I'll be buying if it ever gives up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b19jas Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 They have been about since before Xmas on rcecho. I thought about it but didnt like the can restriction as I run a 4092 in a maxx. Great for something like a hyper though, although my sc8 is quite happy in the maxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-RATs-Savage Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) looks good! ive had a few xeruns and still got a ezrun but most my cars are now mamba monster but im terrified to go near water! i also use corrosion x on every thing from esc to rx and servos works a treat on low voltage but when running 6S it can still pop if you submerge as thats what happen to one of my xeruns car fell into a massive puddle and i couldn't see it it was under water for a good 10 seconds and still tried to drive out when i got close to the car and spun up fine in my hand but i just switched it off and didnt unplug lipos and about 10 seconds after it started to smoke! but ive tested an RX in a sink under water and works and ive tested an old mobile as well... very weird seeing a phone ring under water haha! ive ran my ezrun in the rain and all sorts and the corrosion x seems to hold up fine with splash and small bits going into the esc and it still works this day, but it will only be waterproof to a point! but better than none! but might still like to try this esc just so i can drive it with out 2 much worry and as some 1 else just said would be fun to just drive in a stream or something lol Edited February 28, 2014 by G-RATs-Savage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revorussell Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This is a hyper 9e running a trackstar 150amp esc on 6s that had corrosion x used on it. and this was a easy bash day for it lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-RATs-Savage Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 thats working well under water mate!! did you do any thing to the lipos?? balloons ? as i always thought even if esc is water proof lipos would still short out under water... ? but seems to be working well with yours in that video! ive ran my ezrun in pouring rain and big puddles but not like that!!! but my losi 8ight T went under water and sat there for a good 10 seconds as i said before and was still working when i pulled it out then died 15 seconds later as i didn't unplug the lipos... opened it up and main transistors blown to bits! that was with corrosion X still .... so ive always thought after that corrosion X would only work to a point and maybe because of the higher voltage but ive tested stuff in a sink of water with 6v stuff and seems to work but didn't have much luck submerging with 5S power into an esc under water! but yours is running fine lol!
