It will blow your slash apart before you need to think about it getting hot or breaking so don't worry. It'll do anything you want it to. I ran it on 6s for a while and it ruled. My 2wd slash would blow up on 3s so good luck.

Will my esc catch on fire or will something damage if I run 6s with the set up on a 2wd slash?

Too power for my senton mega. Keeps breaking parts.
That motor and ESC are run on 6s in the Kraton, Outcast, Senton, Typhon, Talion. I don't see how a 2wd slash could hurt it.

I have seen many people damage the esc or motor on 6s.

No worries about the ESC/motor. However, I would worry about using 6S in a "SLASH', as this is a recipe for instant disaster (& just another member of the "Permanently Parked & Broken Traxxas Club")

Yes, but ESC/motor can be damaged many other ways also, so it does not really matter if it is on 6S or not. ESC/motor can be damaged on 4S, or using batteries with not enough power or mAh, or using very heavy tires, too heavy of a vehicle, too large of a pinion, diffs shimmed too tight, etc, etc. The main thing is to watch temps , regardless if on 6S, or 4S..
Poke around on the interwebz, and you will hear about every brand of ESC failing, catching fire and burning cars down. Go to any 1/8 off road track on race day and you will probably see a Tekin fire, despite them having a rep as 'De Bestmost". Even Castle was called "Castle Cremations" for a while. But Hobbywing is generally considered to be more reliable than most. And the BLX185 is a Hobbywing Quickrun150 with a Arrma sticker and a few menu options removed.

I don't think you understand that the esc and motor is not what you need to think about. I ran my blx on 6s for a while just watch the temps and don't gear it like a retard. but you will ruin your slash in the first second you hit the throttle. its not the electronics that you need to worry about. My slash broke every time I used it on 3 cells and if you maybe have some crazy hd axles that I never heard of and the proline trans you might be able to handle 3s on the reg but I doubt it. Just get an outcast and step into real bashing!!

I run it on 3s and 4s all the time. I was looking to build my senton mega but it just kept breaking parts all the time.
