Everyone I don't fault Castle at all. This was a couple years old xlx2, been pushed hard and in many wrecks. cups soldered back in so it served me well. Batteries were good..
140 plus was definitely burning up the road... Sad to see it go up in flames... 👍😎👍 AOAH =Association of Addicted Hobbiest 🙏 Stay Safe and Play Healthy Bro
This is no surprise, this speed is bordering what’s possible transferring this amount of energy this fast to a set of tires! I expect it to happen more often tbf.
@@philipjolley1015 Had 3 do that on me. One that was actually replaced. Then castle ignored me after the second one become a BBQ as well... Ive had Other ESC's fail on me but never catch fire. The XLX2 is flawed it fails in a catastrophic and dangerous way. Besides all that that pass looked so solid !!
I think it started when it lost signal at the beginning of the run. I had experience many times and thought it was the radio but not to long afterwards the esc goes. Wonder how many runs you had on it including test passes before it got tired. Nonetheless though I’m glad it was no wreck. The setup is still intact. Just have to test the batteries and see if it was that motor that caused an irregular surge through the esc. However, I love the experiment with mating two different competitors and seeing what results come from it.
Batteries were good, ran them next in the FG. I have had this esc for years, so it has had many ,many runs on it. Hard runs wrecks. Big motors, ect. Now that you mention it. Was funny how it had a glitch at the beginning, radio rarely looses signal. Thanks man.

Just glad damage wasn't worse, thanks man.
That's a tough loss bro, but at least it looks like most of the chassis is still intact. Good luck getting everything back together!
All is good except the esc.
Still a great past despite the fire! Quick recovery and you'll have it right back out there.. 👍🏽
Thanks brother.

Nah man I've been 160s many times on these esc's, and 170 in my slash 4x4. This was a old abused esc.
Sorry to see that! But man was that cool !! Great speed too
Thanks man. I appreciate it.
Mate what I’m gutted Phil so sorry to see that buddy she was moving to ❤❤
All good man. Old esc.
Castle cremations at it again.
Not even mad. Best speed esc out there.

Yes sir, lucky there.
Sorry to see that; appreciate you sharing the vid.

Thanks brother
Castle Cremations 😅
Good run sorry to see that happen
thanks man, It was a old esc. no fault of Castle.
@philipjolley1015 gotcha, a least the packs survived.
Could have been much worse.
Sorry about the esc Phil but glad the damage was just the esc and battery. Looks like the rest of the car is intact.
Thanks brother, actually the battery is still good. Just messed up the wrap.
@@philipjolley1015 that’s even better news.
