I shot video of me just bashing my XO-1 and flipped it once and blew an Mamba XL2 esc and blew up a tire in less than 5 minutes! Yaaaaaaaaaaaa It was a bashing all right!! I did this all on a 8 cell motor and an 8 cell esc. I have heard of these Esc’s being junk and blowing up but not in less than 5 minutes!! Not to mention the solder connection from the esc going to the motor was bad and my friend said they soldered a cold joint and it came undone! That is why is was sputtering and acting like a one phase motor because one of the wire connectors came undone due too poor soldering! And i took it to a local hobby shop to have the soldering done too! Not anymore!!!

You need to get a castle link and learn what it is!

RC Nut Bob says:

Sky lipo 40c 4000mah? That’s ur problem. Get better batteries and stop
bashing castle. You have no idea what you’re doing… and why would you
waste money on an xo-1 anyway? Castles warrenty doesn’t cover stupid….

You should not take your kids out with you if you are gonna just leave them
bored having to watch you try to drive an dc car….
Of course they are going to get bored watching.
You can’t even drive it! The toddler would be better.
You should be on your own when you do it.

And learn to steer

And learn what throttle control is

And stop uploading shot videos



Epic rc says:

I completely agree with EVERYDAY RC! In one of your other videos you hit
your kid and then only go to check on the car. Now in this video you talk
to him very rudely like he’s just trying to prevent you from having fun or
something. You should reassess your priorities in life like your hobby and
your kid and which comes first and should bring you more joy. Cool car bad
attitude bro! Cheers

EVERYDAY RC says:

You talk to your son as if he were your dog. No good dude!

RC Nut Bob says:

People have problems with them for a couple of reasons. The big one is
cheap batteries. Castle specifies the type of batteries that are to be used
or warrenty is void. 2nd problem is lack of research on proper gearing. Too
low can be as much of a problem as too high.

Stupid Fast RC says:

I enjoyed your clip. Great stuff! Thanks for posting.

Navraj Gill says:

You really think this guy is like this to his kid all the time? No wayyy.
But in the presence of a 100mph machine I think it’d a good choice to scoot
him aside

Wombat Stevens says:

You’re a fucking dick to your son. You are a piece of shit. I have a 3 year
old little boy myself and I would never treat him like you treated your
son. I am glad you fucked up your stuff and don’t think you should be
spending your time with toys because obviously your son needs a better
father. You need to grow up. WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!!!

jeff bish says:

Who bashes a xo1?


Aaron MacNeil says:

the car sounded like crap the whole time he was running like the mesh was
wrong.

Armando conde says:

Poor kid, its just a kid, wath you spect to do is an rc car he will be
exited for it! and the kid is followin his dad i dont understand this
really for me absolutely disgusting!

H8edsinclair says:

You think he is being mean its called being stern if that kid got hit by
that car it could kill him bad father at least he has his kid with him.wake
up people its called being hyperviglen that car can go over 100 mph and
weighs about 10 pounds ..people these days 

William Kelley says:

Hahaha ur son has retro 13

kristina vaughn says:

god damn this is not what rc is meant for for most sain people it is meant
for a father and son to have something to do together I have 3 boys myself
and if I saw u doing that shit in front of me I would stomp your ass and by
the way rtr is for pussies such as yourself

BIGE3iNKC says:

I bet you wouldn’t have smoked the motor if your pinion gear wasn’t almost
the same size as the spur gear , a combo like that definitely will over
heat things , and the box clearly states it will handle 34v you are running
28v its clearly in the safe range of operation . Also when you plug in the
batteries the esc doesn’t beep , the motor does . After you get a brushless
motor at extreme temperatures such as you probly had that one , they tend
to melt down and loose magnetic polarity . So you get nadda like you did ,
the tall tale sign that’s happening is that glitching chattering noise it
was making twards the end . Your childs only as sharp as you make them ,
you must educate and teach a child to help sharpen them . Apples don’t fall
far from trees.

Daniel Martinez says:

Can’t believe you are abusing a good and expensive car.

jasovf Gransdorf says:

sounds broke all ready dude !?! Rocks in the gears? maybe ease into the gas
and find a high school track. Your kid would drive it better lmao 

Brandon Burnett says:

What a stupid video

judgegixxer says:

Blow up an XL2 esc for 5 minutes of fart noises…….pointless.

mounlasy says:

Obviously there is something stuck. Maybe rocks ?!? :-)…:-) 

michael greenwood says:

You are a dumbass for cogging that motor with 8 a and tall gears. You burnt
it up

amercado7843 says:

Is that how to treat your own son? Damn dood you are a fucking DOUCHE BAG,
I SHOULD GET THAT CAR AND AND RUN OVER YOUR TRAILER PARK ASS. Here’s and
Advice, Treat your son with more respect than that..

karl peart says:

Mindmicanic KC says:

bostonblizzards says:

karl peart says:

XGN Dreamtaker says:

Wombat why don’t you stfu 1st off at least he’s spending time with his kid.
In like most of you parents do just buy your kids stuff so they will shut
up now stfu you don’t like how he treats his kids then stfu and go some
where esle

nitromanRI says:

If you knew castle made shit esc’s why would you buy one?! 2nd it says
‘expert’s only” on the box.

Angelo van santen says:

if mine would make tht noise i stopped 10 minutes ago!

Ali Abdur-Rashid says:

This is why my cars are nitro.

matt g says:

8s with anything 1600kv or less is good for speed runs only! 8s on a 2200kv
motor is just stupid basically how this guy sounds lmao. I hope castle
see’s this video and does not cover the esc.huh huh ehh ehh.

rc addict says:

hahah you shouldn’t be driving like a retard, 

robg112 says:

I think you need a 9 cell.. thats your problem buddy..

Matt Thompson says:

After reading the comments along with the description, I have to agree that
you’re in the wrong here. First off, if you can’t do your own soldering you
shouldn’t be buying things that need to be soldered. That way you can
assure that it was done right. Second off, if those ESC’s were prone to
fail why didn’t you get a different one to begin with? Should have done
more research and gained more experience before wasting your money….

VOICE-OF-REASON says:

Classic example of more money than brains : /

joes04redrx8 says:

Whit a voice like that I bet his wife cuckolds his ass daily, that’s why
your pissed at your kid cuz you had to babysit while your chick was getting
some cock, how was the creampie? Oh get some driving skills and some real
lipos remember squeeze the throttle you dumb fuck

XO1EXTREMESPEED says:

Another thing on the 110 mph claim on the X0-1 tires, does it mean every
time i see a video using XO-1 tires and they are going faster than 110 mph
it must be fake then?? There is a LOT of fake videos then!! So lets just
say my esc did fail when i flipped why did it not fail the 15+ times it
crashed wayyyy worse than that. And how to other RC cars esc’s not blow
when they flip? ODD!! If every time i flipped it i blew an esc i would be
broke and this video would not exist!!

jambi715 says:

isnt it possible to kill someone with that thing?

RC SPEED RUNS AND PS4 UNBOXING GAMING says:

I give you sum advice you don’t go bashing with a 8 s set :)-

RC SPEED RUNS AND PS4 UNBOXING GAMING says:

I don’t use xl2 anymore they suck blew 2 now using the cheaper turnigy 8s
esc and I think it’s much better

XO1EXTREMESPEED says:

I could not even begin to tell you how many times i have flipped this, but
i know for a fact it is 15+ times! That time i flipped it there was one of
the weakest flips it has done! I have flipped it and it has slid for more
than 100 feet so flipping it did not blow it. If you look at my video of my
XO-1’s you will see in the video the body of the silver one and how bad it
is from flipping so much!

Dan says:

I agree Michael, this guy is hilarious. He calls it bashing…. Last I
checked bashing isn’t synonymous with stupid.

LHSPIMP85 says:

your a prick to your son i hope he grows up and kicks your ass … thats
what i did to my father 🙂

Camaro Rick says:

You and your son run identically.

Benjamin snyder says:

instead of beating it up give it to someone whp would appreciate it like me

MiamiJato says:

2 things, Lose the tires, and 8s high speed is not for bashing. It will
blow your speedo everytime. if you want to bash around, that car, go 6s,
gear down and bash awa. Just saying….

Derek Sylvester says:

If an ESC is not functioning correctly you should immediately stop using
it, because it IS doing damage to the rest of the system. This is just food
for thought, I’m not telling you what to do. Everyone does what they want,
no biggy, just trying to help you out.

XO1EXTREMESPEED says:

He does everything that i do, down to a tee!! LOL!!
