I’d like to choose “the best” esc for my Xray X8. Car will be used for competitive onroad races.
What is your opinion on the Elceram ELC030 Nitride 1/8 G1 Competition 2800Kv esc?

I read a lot of good things about this esc, including efficiency (more runtime than an comparable XR8 Pro) and smooth throttle control. The brake funtionality and settings should be also better or more refined.

What is true and what isn’t? The price is crazy but maybe worth it.

The second option would be the XR8 PRO G3.

What are you guys running / have you had any experience with Elcram ESCs?

Motorwise, there will be the 2000kv Hobbywing 4268 SD G3, of course in sensored mode.

I had a great 14900ks (Sp107) which i daylied with 8400mts CL40 , undervolted and limited to 1410mv and it still broke.

I was so satisfied with this chip. 8400 was a lot of work. Rtts, Training, DQs all set. It even was retrain stable in Vt3 and Tm5 within A LOT of Boots.

It got RMAed by Intel to the absolute worst imc i ever had on an 14. gen Cpu. So now im limited to 7800. Cores are okay. 😩

Since i dont really want to join the Silicon-Lottery anymore im currently thinking about changing to the current X870E Apex and buying a cheap 3d Cpu for now. Im hoping that the Zen6 Chips will have an good IMC just like the 8700Gs.

I have to say that im kinda concerned about the low Ram throughput though.

I like low latency since CS 2 is a game me and my friends play a lot.

Sometimes we also play bigger Games just as Warzone, BF6 oder Gta5.

Whats your opinion on this situation?

Should i just leave it as it is? Or should i try to upgrade to x870E with an 3D chip and maybe later to Zen6?

I also like the Apex Boards, which are now available on Amd. 🙂

Some side notes: PC is custom cooled with a Mora, 3 D5 and so on. Pretty „extreme“. I never looked at heat or electricity prices. But im getting older and im getting more sensible to „good“ solutions than just extreme power.

I have to say that a direct die cooled 10980XE which i ran on 4000 CL19 was a pretty nice experience back then. Long gone though. 😁
