The Firma 150A ESC has known issues with failures and catching fire. Here's a link to reviews on Amazon that contains pics of burned out ESCs:

You can find more info about failures and fires on the Arrma forum (www.arrmaforum.com).

Well crap. Maybe jennys can take it off my order

So far i have 617 in this thing. Hopfully its worth it, could have a normal kronos rtr for 538 otd
 
I chose the firma for the ease of dropping it in and not having to solder on new connectors.

Was also gonna mention the soldering aspect. The firma has the ic5 which is great if that's what you use. But the motor(TC) uses 6.5mm bullet connectors, the firma has 4mm bullet connectors.. you can buy adapters, but not thats not the best method. Adapters means you'll definitely have spare wire that'll need to be dealt with. I know soldering can be a daunting task, but in this hobby, it's a priceless skill to have. Plenty of videos and such online if you're not already versed in soldering.
Just my opinions. Hit us up if you need any help😃🍻

Thanks, i have ec5 connectors at home to make up new leads. Just nice if i didnt have too. I am a welder for a living so soldering is easy peasy. Only thing i would need help with, is how to make a double battery lead , not sure if you run the positive leads in series or the negative. Thinking about getting a new hobbywing bl150 quicrun.

There is a BLX185 and 2050kv for $100 on Arrma forum : https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/arrma-blx-185-esc-and-motor-combo.52170/

That's a great deal..for sure.

I do have my doubts as to whether the claimed specs by TC are accurate too..but the factory programming in the Torox puts my doubts to rest after seeing how well the Torox actually performs. The punch of this system is truly remarkable IMO.

I swaped an easy run 150 fir the torox out of my radix6 into my kronos. Easy to notice the power difference. I was suprised.
