I finally bit the bullet and went the XLX2 route. This will be in a scratch built 325mm SWB speed car.
I‘ve taken the advice of many (especially @Diem Turner and @LibertyMKiii , thanks so much for your knowledge) who’ve patiently explained the many reasons to go with this ESC. I do have a couple of questions though.
1. How necessary is it to run a cap pack? I do have an 8s Ripple Killer pack I was planning to incorporate but I’ve heard some say it isn’t really necessary with an XLX2. Bear in mind that this car will be pretty much maxed out at 150mph, so I’m not chasing records.
2. The Castle bluetooth link works with iOS through their ap, but this does not support the data logging? Is there a way with the regular (wired) Castle Link to use an iOS platform to run the data logs, or am I relegated to using a windows platform?
I‘ve found the answers to most of my questions on this setup from this, the best community forum ever, but I’m sure more questions will arise as I cut my teeth in the Castle World and with speed running in general.
Again, thanks for the help!
