Kraton Anyone Run 8S with stock motor / speed control?

[AustinKraton]

Is it possible?

What about the 6S battery on the Kraton and adding a 2S or 1S battery on the second plug?

Will the motor and speed controller take it?

The stock system will definitely not take it

What's that smell ????

Yeah you would deffinetly not want to put more voltage into something voltage sensitive like an esc. the motor would probably take it speaking from my experience as an electrician but the components of the esc would likely be damage. Also have you driven the Kraton on 6s its ridiculously powerful only needs some stiffer center diff fluid

 

[Josh nortz]

You cannot put 8s to stock esc. Use better esc stock motor will take 8s for a bit on mild gearing.

I don't think the esc will even turn on if you plugged in an 8s lipo. I have a brushed esc that is only rated for 2s(online documentation says 3s capable though) if you plug in a 3s lipo it doesn't turn on.

Actually I accidentally plugged a 4s in my castle system and it wouldn’t turn on. I was cursing cause I thought it wasn’t working from just sitting there for a couple of months

WTF mike??!!! ? had to

I have a max6 in my Kraton that will handle 8s but won't put that through the stock motor.

What motor do you use??

Right now I am using the stock motor with 6S and 4S.

Put the big boy pinion in it and your xmaxx won't be able to keep up

I have 12 still slow not impressed

 

[PowerDubs]

Then sell it and go away

Isn't 12 the stock pinion? Toss a 16t in it, but keep an eye on motor temps.

xmaxx stock not even close will tear it up

Then sell it and go away

you are right I should start a auction
