Thanks Joe, I wasnt sure what your baseline was for "lower". Got it now. So all of this setup info is based on a 2200kv 1515/1Y on 6s? I would imagine running that same motor on 4s would not require the same battery capability either provided gearing didnt change.


Just to be clear can you confirm this for me...

Then with a 1512/3D (1700kv) shorter lower kv motor in a light 1/8 buggy and conservative gearing (35-40mph) I could run a lipo that isnt quite up to the 75A/125A specs and get away with it without damage to the Monster.

Sorry to be a pain, I just read all the bolony that has been posted the last couple days in this and "other" forums regarding the Monster and lipos that may not be up to the task causing the reported dead MMMs and I want to be clear is all. And hearing it directly from someone at CC is better than all the hearsay floating around at this point.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly
