I'll be less than thrilled if my cheapie Flightmax's are faster than the G3's :oops: I'm also considering moving up to the MM to eliminate that as a possible issue. I can always use the extra ESC in other vehicles.

As for my idea of trying 5S...what risks are there in getting a 3S 1600mah battery to run with one of my 2S 1800mah batteries? They would be the same make and C rating and within 10 cycles of each other as far as age.

for you to run a 5S, almost all the variables have to be equal not to damage the other pack. same mah, same C rating, same company, similiar cycles...alll the chemestry has to be identical in all things but cell count and exact cycles. (i'd say within 10 or so)

the 1600mah might already be too empty when the 1800 is still ok, that's one problem.

if you install a singleIndiv. lipo cell check on the 1600 pack, it could be working. but not ideal for permanent use.

you better check all other possibilities.

I understand why the capacity should be matched now. Makes sense...

Just ordered an MM from Mike. Why do I keep spending money on this? This is a horrible disease...

The Hobby is INFECTIOUS to us all.
It's like a "RC Bubonic Plaque".
Once you contract it, It's terminal and there's nothing you can do about it.
But, the wallet and checking account are bled dry.

Thanks for the words of encouragement :lol:

Well, give me 80+ MPH and I'll be happy...for a while

i'd be happy with a video of that:yes:

and about the r/c boobonic plague- it might clear up for a while but it's never gone. It may even come back in other forms, i.e. air, water r/c, but it will come back:na:

Personally i would NOT get a MM now - The pro is the same money and just around the corner.

It will take more amps and the option for 4/5/6s - The MM will do 4 possibly 5s but needs a bec... Why run out of spec - Pro is here in days now.

Well, the Pro will probably be too big to fit. I may cancel the order and wait. I'm pretty sure the pro will end up hanging off the side of the chassis.
