Kraton BLX 185 to replace kraton 4s esc

[Jluther@becoinc]

Just wondering if anyone has put a BLX185 into a kraton 4s. I still want to run the stock motor and only 4s

Yep.

 

[Jluther@becoinc]

Yep.

How did it work out for you? Any more power? Did you have to set the punch lower ?

The biggest issue is the BLX185 does not have very strong brakes compared to other ESCs. As far as power, I ran it on 6S so yeah more power.

I ran the BLX185 ESC in my Granite for a bit. 3s and 4s. No issue with the brakes, remember the 4x4 trucks weight a lot less than the 6s trucks. Motor was the BLX185 2050kv.

I also ran the BLX185 ESC with other motors, like a 3000kv f540, a 3660 3800kv, and a 3650 3300kv. With those motors, the brakes were very strong.

Thanks for the info I just didn’t want to ruin a motor or esc

This was in a Typhon 3S using a 3660 2400kv motor

No, mostly in my Granite.

I don't have a Typhon 3s, only a Typhon 6s.
