Senton BLX200 on a Senton

[gLippa]

Does anyone know of a reason why the BLX200 wouldn't work on my Senton? I have the BLX180 and its starting to shut off at random times while running and I want to upgrade. Also should I also change the connectors to the XT150's or are the XT90's a real reliable connector?

If you need to solder anyways, I would go with the XT150s ... if you already got most LiPos on XT90 I would stick with the XT90
Running the BLX185 on 6S, the XT90 never even got warm.

It should work just fine. It might be a little bit bigger than the stock ESC, but you can use strong mounting tape or I prefer the Scotch 3M Heavy-Duty Fasteners. Not cheap but so much stronger than velcro or tape.

If the BLX180 is not working properly try to change it on warranty for the BLX185.

Well thats the problem, I got it off of eBay, I got a hold of the seller and he sent me a copy of the receipt from Tower Hobbies in an email, but its not legible. Im trying to get a hold of the seller again right now.. so we'll see where this goes from here...

Hope you get a readable receipt to do the warranty.

There the same size, only difference is the bec is 3a on a 185 and 6a on the 200,both rated 150a

So this is as fast as I could get it to go with a 20 tooth pinion, and with the punch control turned all the way down. Two 3s lipos 5600 MAH 65C

The 200 esc in a Senton is magic... I love it!
