I was considering ESC upgrade, just wondering if anyone had tried it, my 185s have worked fine for the most part thus far and I have a spare to experiment with. Thanks for the feedback though.
I'm doing it soon and will shoot a vid, just need weather to cooperate and dry out some. Need to swap bullet connectors and finish Kraton rebuild, just found last parts I needed at area LHS, lucked out, they are on backorder.
What he said! LOL
Nice!!! That's my kind of good problem to have. Hope to have her run ready soon. Just couldn't pass up the price, actually bought 2 of them. Thanks for the feedback.
You're Welcome. It's a torque monster! After all, it's for a 13+pound truck.
Good thing I bought more shims for new gear sets...Lol.
Yeah a great deal is hard to pass up, looking forward to letting her rip soon. Just been dropping too much coin lately, don't feel like ESC upgrade is essential for this, specs are very similar any how between BLX200 and 185 ESC.
I had to go up several teeth to achieve same speeds as stock Kraton tires on street run with stock system geared 16 tooth on 6s. Hit 60 with 20 tooth and Terrain Crushers, same as Kraton wheels with 16, but got there a lot faster and with perfect handling and control. Not saying you should do 20 persay, just sharing my findings. Really didn't get that hot despite ripping around a bit with WOT. Much less rolling resistance with Crushers. Just wouldn't do really rough bashing with them. No sidewall or tire cushion for big hits.
Taping and glueing is a bit laborious, but it pays off with Proline and other tires that balloon crazy on higher power. The Backflip Outcast tires I'm running on Outcast and Kraton don't balloon that much if you run heavier center and front diff fluids. I never ran them with center less than 100-200k and 50k front.
Did you buy those "mystery spacers" as well? LMAO.
I think you have mystic powers, I was rebuilding my diffs a few minutes ago!!! Yes 2 Kyosho mystery spacers going in front and back....Lol.
I have a Castle link for my other rigs, just haven't tried adjusting the power curves yet. I know lots of people have said good things about their use, just need to make time to play with it. My 2 Castle setups seem to run fine with a linear setup. Adjustability is always nice, though.
