This allows you to capture throttle, voltage, current, temperature, motor RPM, vehicle speed, and other critical performance parameters without needing to keep a Bluetooth module connected during racing, enabling comprehensive post-run analysis to refine your setup and driving technique.
• Real-Time Data Monitoring and Historical Recording — Connect to the compatible app or LCD programmer to review stored data logs displayed as curve graphs, and monitor real-time data output during operation to check operational status. This functionality gives you unprecedented insight into how your vehicle and ESC are performing, helping you identify tuning opportunities and diagnose any issues quickly.
• Freewheeling Cooling System with Reduced Operating Temperature — The freewheeling function reduces deceleration resistance and overall operational efficiency, helping to lower ESC temperature by approximately 15 degrees compared to the previous XR10 Pro G2S model. This significant temperature reduction is especially beneficial under higher load applications, improving overall consistency, reliability, and extended run times without thermal throttling.
• RPM Decrease Rate Control for Enhanced Cornering — The adjustable RPM decrease rate setting offers faster deceleration off throttle when freewheeling is enabled, enhancing control and precision in corners. A higher RPM decrease rate results in faster deceleration when the throttle is released, giving you the flexibility to tune this critical aspect to match your driving style and track conditions.
• Disc Brake Mode with Linear Braking Feel — Using an innovative closed-loop brake control system creates more accurate and linear brake output at all speeds. This advanced braking technology completely solves the problem of non-linear braking force common with traditional methods, and includes adjustable Brake Force Curvature to fine-tune the brake bias feeling. Normal linear and traditional braking modes remain available for drivers preferring conventional setups.
• Softening 2.0 Technology for Improved Initial Throttle Response — The ESC is equipped with optimised Softening 2.0 technology that enhances driving force in the initial acceleration phase, significantly improving the drivability of high-power vehicles without sacrificing overall top speed. This refinement makes the motor feel more responsive and predictable when applying throttle from a standstill or during mid-corner acceleration.
• Low Centre-of-Gravity Design for Superior Handling — The ESC fan assembly features an improved lower centre of gravity design with the overall height reduced by 2mm compared to the previous XR10 Pro G2S, effectively lowering the centre of gravity and aiding vehicle balance.
