Rtsbasic · **EVX Handle 16 cells? -** 09.25.2005, 05:05 PM

I'm very tempted to buy an Emaxx (again), but I can't afford a new brushless ESC and motor for it as well at the min so I was wondering if I could use my current 8 cell matched batteries (GP3300 cells) with the EVX controller? 16 cells even with brushed should make one fly, if the controller won't blow..

I've pushed other ESC's past what they're rated to in the past, but with a heavy car like an Emaxx I'm not so sure, although I would be running more gear reduction, and a fan on the controller. Anyone tried it before? Or am I just going to let the magic smoke out the ESC if I try?

Cheers.
