[ClodMaxx]

well to get to the 3500rpm sweet spot, it would be between 12 and 14 cells max (just over 12 with my matched packs). i have no need to add more cells than 14, but it's a higher torque motor so i should be able to gear a wee bit higher to get higher speeds (low 40's would be fine with me)... right? then i'd probably be putting a big strain on the esc. i have the strobe with 51t spur and 5 mod1 pinions that range (i think) between 12t and 16t.

i'm running an rx pack for sure.
