This thing is old and retired but me and a friend have gotten it back on the road. It’s geared 15/54 with 32p gears and we’ve been using the stock nickel metal pack. So far we’ve seen speeds of 36mph. However, check out what I just ordered off of eBay.
That is an XL-5 generation 1. The reason I’m swapping the second generation that’s already in the truck? It’s got no overvoltage protection. What’s that mean?
It means time for some 3 cell lipo.
Let me swap in the old esc.
