Control solution for XRAY M18 micro cars

The XRAY 389180 XMC180 Micro Speed Controller is intended for the XRAY M18 micro racecar, offering compact SMD design with reverse and proportional braking. The built-in BEC keeps radio gear powered when used with approved stock motors.

Features focused on micro class racing

The XMC180 supports 4-5 cell NiMH or NiCd battery input from 4.8V to 6.0V and delivers a steady performance profile with up to 3.6A continuous current and brief 27A peaks. The onboard 5V, 0.5A BEC supplies small servos and the receiver for reliable track performance.

Specifications

  • Input Power: 4-5 cell NiMH/NiCd (4.8V - 6.0V)
  • Min. Resistance: 0.138 Ω / 7.5V
  • Max. Resistance: 0.206 Ω / 6V
  • Continuous Current: Max. 3.6A
  • Peak Current: 27A / 0.05 sec
  • PWM Frequency: 1900 Hz
  • BEC Output: 5V / 0.5A
  • Temperature Range: 0-40 C (32-72 F)

Ideal for M18 competitors running stock motors, the XMC180 balances compact size with dependable power management to protect electronics and ensure consistent handling.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Can the XMC180 handle frequent club racing sessions?

Yes, when used within the specified motor and battery limits. Monitor temperatures and allow cooling breaks during long race days.

Are there recommended upgrades for better cooling?

Improved airflow in the body shell and keeping wiring tidy can help. Avoid packing insulation material close to the ESC to prevent heat build up.

What happens if I exceed the 6.0V limit?

Operating above 6.0V can overstress components and may permanently damage the ESC. Always stay within 4.8V to 6.0V for safe use.

Do I need a separate BEC for high torque servos?

If your servos draw more than the 0.5A BEC rating, use an independent power source to prevent voltage sag and protect the ESC.
