HW xstreme stock esc in a buggy

[guinness]

I have installed an 8.5t motor into a 1/10 ep 2wd buggy with an HW xstreme stock esc.
what software is best for this combo? at moment im using the 119stock with every setting to zero other then the boost at 35 but the esc get pretty hot.
any suggestions ?
thanx

You are really pushing the capabilities of the HW Xtreme stock with an 8.5 in a buggy which is why its getting hot, even with the fan on. Really they only meant for minimum of a 10.5 on road with 2 cell lipo nothing less.
Your best bet would be to get a HW V2/V2.1 120amp speedo this would be able to better cope with lower wind ( higher Kv ) motors and will not get as hot.

You wont have any trouble selling it at the moment as UK supplier of HW got robbed over the weekend. If you want to sell it let me know

Put the latest MOD sofware on it and it should be fine, stock software's way to agressive for mod motors. My Durango has one with an 8.5T motor and it runs perfectly and cool indoors and out.

I'm using V3.0_110119_MOD on my Xtreme stock. All turbo settings are off/at minimum settings and the punch is on 3. I've not tried the punch any higher as I haven't felt the need to, but at minimum it was fine too.

I've got another 4wd buggy with a 60amp Xerun and an 8.5T motor that uses V2.0_110528_MOD firmware with the same minimum settings and that runs perfectly too.
