Team Exalt Releases the Xscend Pro-X 180A Competition ESC

Team Exalt has a new top-shelf speedo for the 1/10 crowd. The Xscend Pro-X (part EXAXSC10) is a 180A competition ESC, and the headline isn't the amp rating. It's the data. Team Exalt says it logs at 50Hz and stores up to 32 sessions you can pull up in the Team Exalt app.

The numbers, per Team Exalt:

• 180A continuous, 1200A burst
• 2–3S LiPo
• Adjustable 6.0V–7.4V / 10A switching BEC
• Smart cooling fan control (On / Off / Auto) and reverse polarity protection
• Labeled ROAR Approved on Team Exalt's page
• Price: $219.79

Team Exalt says it's built for Stock, Modified, Touring Car, Off-Road, Oval and Drift.

Tuning

You get 17 throttle curves (8 exponential, 1 linear, 8 logarithmic) and the same 17 curves on the brake side, plus adjustable throttle percentages. Brake PWM frequency adjusts automatically with vehicle speed, and drag brake frequency and drag brake boost are adjustable on their own.

Boost is progressive. Instead of dumping all the timing at once, it adds 1° every 500 RPM. Team Exalt also lists Driving Efficiency Optimization (synchronous rectification) to cut heat and drag off throttle.

Data logging and Bluetooth

The Pro-X samples every 0.02 seconds (50Hz) and holds up to 32 logging sessions. In the Team Exalt app you can view graphs, compare runs, export logs as TXT files and share them with teammates.

Programming runs over Bluetooth. Team Exalt's page describes an external Bluetooth module/switch that connects to the app in about five seconds, and the Xscend Bluetooth Module / External Power Switch is listed separately as EXAXSC9 on Team Exalt's ESC page. Check with Team Exalt or your shop on what's in the box before you order. The app also handles firmware updates, which Team Exalt says take about 20 seconds.

Data is a big part of racing now, and Exalt is going straight at that. Would 32 sessions of logging change how you gear your car? Let us know on the podcast!
