Kraton Swapping BLX185 with EZRUN MAX8

[jjl5590]

Hi
Is there any advantage with swapping the BLX185 with EZRUN Max8? I can get one quite cheap!

Thanks

the max8 seems to put out more power, smoother at lower throttle, less lag from a dead stop, has a adjustable bec up to 7.4 volts so your stock servo can actually perform up to its rated tq and speed rating, tons more tuning option.

I put the max6 in my Outcast and love it.

What do you think of the Hobbywing xr8 ESC?

Just an FYI, there is a watch thread feature up at the top by the title. When you click on it you can then choose to watch with or without getting emails.

HAHA I wasn't trying to be a smarta**. Just wanted to let you know about that feature if you didn't already know about it.

battery elimination circuitry. it is how much power the esc and spare to put out to the steering servo. the stock bec is only set to 6.0 volts, but the stock servo is actually rated to run on 7.4 volts.

And it is "Battery Eliminator" because back in the day of Mechanical Speed Controller (MSC) - you needed a second battery pack (normally a 4AA pack) to power your RX and servos.

Is it alot smoother than the stock esc

Ive only done testing around my house due to them reworking my local track. As for speed i don't believe its any faster and this was tested next to my buddies talion. I notice more speed on dead stop takeoffs, as it leaves nice burnout marks now lol. As for responsiveness id say their fairly close but id give the edge to the max8 due to programmability. You get a program card to make things super easy to change your settings as well as a spare fan. You can also adjust your lvc which is a nice touch. Im running the stock 2050kv motor without a hitch.

I haven’t noticed to much of a difference my hobby wing program card works with bolth esc only difference is there a few more options for programming with max 8 and you can’t change Servo out put to 7.4 but other than that there the same esc

I mean there bolth 150 amp and there bolth hobby wing shouldn’t say there the same

Wouldnt the servo output default to 7.4v since its a 7v esc
