The Felony ESC is not directly compatible with the Kraton ESC. The Kraton ESC uses a different connector than the Felony ESC. However, it is possible to install the Felony ESC on a Kraton ESC with a little bit of modification.

Benefits of Installing a Felony ESC on a Kraton

There are several benefits to installing a Felony ESC on a Kraton. These benefits include:

• Increased speed and torque: The Felony ESC can provide more speed and torque than the stock ESC. This can make the Kraton more fun to drive and can also improve its performance on rough terrain.
• Improved durability: The Felony ESC is more durable than the stock ESC. This means that it is less likely to fail, even under heavy use.
• More features: The Felony ESC has more features than the stock ESC. These features include a built-in BEC (battery eliminator circuit) and a programmable LED light system.
