Id like to stay at 4s because im using an mm. This should probably be another thread, but whats everyones opinion on running the mm on 5s? I do have 3s and 2s 4000s that I could wire up. That would only be capable of the same watts my 4s 5000 is, so Ive stayed under what is known to be safe for the mm. Ive heard people say the older ones are good for 5s, and this one is pretty old.
Based on the opinons here, I think Ill go with an 8xl if I stay on 4s. I understand the 7xl would fit the 35k rule better, but Id like to keep the motor temps down. Geared for about 40, my 7xl was running close to 150 most of the time. Ambient was about 30, and I have 3 fans on it, but the MM never got over 80ish, so I dont think it was over geared. Im hoping dropping the motor rpm while keeping the vehicle speed the same will bring the motor temp down closer to the esc.
