How to Install and Tune the Hobbywing XD10 ESC for RC Drifting

Well - my son blew up his super-fancy Acuvance ESC. Time to get something different in there!
We went with the XD10 because (1) I have had great luck with Hobbwing products, (2) he wanted his ESC to be purple to match his chassis, and (3) I wanted to see how good the XD10 really was.
To tune this ESC, I used the Hobbywing Bluetooth OTA programmer: alnk.to/2QwdbZQ
The specific ESC we used in this video: alnk.to/8EJdyVn
The XR10 Pro: alnk.to/ge5NK0B
The XR10 Stock spec: alnk.to/bPcRdCm

    The biggest difference with the drift specific ESC is being able to do 48k drive frequency and more incremental drive and break frequencies

    Yeah....but the XR10 Stock Spec (at half the price) still goes up to 32k drive frequency and has the brake frequency between 1k-16k. Honestly - that is overkill for 99% of users.

    Troy, I know it took a long time to make this video but I’m actually glad you have. The base tuning does have boost and turbo but the settings need to still be adjusted via OTA or LCD Program Box Pro. Using your XR10 settings, my XD10/D10 is amazing and haven’t changed a thing since. My RMX 3.0 KMW “CBNE” is so good now and I’ve actually driven it with no gyro. Don’t recommend it as I was having a rather awful track day when it happened.

    Awesome! Glad my XR10 settings helped you before . We sometimes play with no gyro at our local track - just for fun and to watch everyone crash. :)

    Great tip I learned watching videos that now allows me to run the OTA fulltime onboard the car. Can change settings on the fly then switch to real-time analyzer on the app and the ESC resets the saved parameters. No need to turn the ESC back off and on

    Troy so the only reason I would pick this over the stock spec would be for the purple color but my real questions is do you think I would notice the difference using a stock mst brushless motor with this esc or not worth it just buy both upgrades I already have new gyro and servo so this will be my second upgrade

    Hi there! You will want the motor and esc combo. That is what makes the big difference.

    Great video as always. I originally started with this esc and it was super nice to have the tuning ability from the Bluetooth on phone. I ended up selling the whole car to a buddy with it but it’s still holding up. My only complaint is that it is very pricey. You could get an Acuvance xarvis xx for about the same price or the Acuvance rad for cheaper and imo the Acuvance esc’s are much smoother in power delivery. Question I had with the shark and the gyd550, you enjoy normal or AVCs mode more?

    Hello! Yes - this is not the ESC I typically suggest. I usually suggest cheaper ESC. They do well enough for drifting. With the GYD550, I believe we are running in AVCS now - but would need to double check. Love that gyro!

    The one thing EVERYONE making that argument seems to forget is that Acuvance sells everything ala Carte. Fan is ala Carte, capacitor is ala Carte. Pretty much by the time you buy everything you need, the XD10 is actually cheaper. Never mind the fact that Hobbywing always has their stuff on sale. Nothing against Acuvance because they have great products. But comparing prices? They’re actually more expensive, my guy.

    Troy, have you had a chance to try the newer HW BL120 G2's Boost and Turbo compared to the fancier ones? At $50 it seems like a no brainer now for entry ESCs w these new features.
