Losi Xcelorin S

[V-Rossi]

What are your experiences with this ESC? It is very cheap, but is it as smooth/good/reliable as LRP and Speed Passion?

[TonyM]

I've been running two since May with Xcelorin S 6.5T motor in my B4's and no problem so far. The fan on top of the ESC is too high for a standard B4 shell so I run the ESC without a fan attached and no overheating issues so far.

The quick program board is useful but unfortunately you can't change acceleration settings with it, so I generally program the ESC via my laptop which is a simple process. I also updated the ESC firmware and this was straightforward (I know others in the past have mentioened they had problems with upgrades).

Never run LRP/Speed Passion so can't compare.

Cheers Tony

What's the crack with motors for these things? Will any sensored motor wotk with it, or are they more specific than that?

I ran an LRP Vector X12 7.5T on my Xcelorin S ESC this weekend and it was as smooth as silk. The Hall sensor cable is common between the LRP and Xcelorin.

Keep the experiences coming
Does someone know of any other ESC's capable of reversing the rotor direction?

[blue_pinky]

The Tekin RS & RS pro will do reverse direction I beleive.
