Looks like I had some bad info. The BLX185 is a 150Amp ESC. That is probably peak. As for the connectors, there seems to be some bad info out there about those too.

Best to reference the data sheets. I couldn't find one for the IC5 so I grabbed the EC5, which is supposed to be the same minus the smart pin.View attachment 37797View attachment 37798View attachment 37799
Here is the ESC on the Arrma site. They have it listed as 150 amp continuous. Most of that is probably marketing fluff though as a 150 amp continuous pull on a 5,000mah battery would drain it in 2 minutes if my math is correct.

I previously ran some 8s rigs that routinely pulled over 300 Amps. This is a comparison of xt90 to ec8 connectors:

Off shore electrics makes a very nice anti spark xt150 that I want to try next.
