Wow all way too technical for me just know that when I changed the diffs over it started going faster forward than reverse.... Result
-
The esc delivers less power in reverse and so if you swapped the laeds around the car would be faster backwards. Changing the diffs was the only way to go and took less than 30 mins
-
My motor burned out after 3 weeks followed by the esc a week later both were replaced under warrenty and it's running fine now.

The guy from STOracing told agreed to send me an Etronix probe 12 esc should be better than the maverick he said it could take more amps so should be fine. Hope so I'll see how it goes.

Hi, well went out today and ran the XB for about 12 minutes and now the ESC has burnt out really seems the electrics in the maverick are sub standard. I know it's cheap but if they can't put components in that don't last over a month then what's the point. I will be asking for a replacement other than a maverick part from sto and see how that pans out....

Hi, Have run the firebolt a few times now and even after running for 15 mins solid the motor is not hot. It is faster than the maverick and is actually cheaper. Only drawback is that it runs in the opposite direction to the Maverick, you will have to swap the diffs over. There's another post around discussing this problem I'll see if I can dig out a link to it. And Here

Great service from STO sent the old motor in on wednesday and got the new one this morning. Fitted the HPI Fire bolt only to find out it by default turns in the opposite direction. Had to swap the diffs over to get it to go forward at full speed now its runnin great.

Hi, Looks like all the other HPI brushed motors are even cheaper Other motors I got a #1146 - FIREBOLT 15T MOTOR (540 TYPE) thinking this would be better being a genuine HPI and not maverick I'll have to give it a go and see. I still thing the XB is a good buy my 4 year old has crashed it loads and still not broken anything except the motor .

Seem this may be a common problem. Bought an XB EVO from STO racing and it lasted 3 weeks til the motor failed , smelled like it burnt out. Rang sto taday and they said just send it in and they will send a new one back same day . Great service if they follow through. Is this a common problem? Do they fit cheap motors in RTR's or was I just unlucky.
