I ran my MMM on 10S - 05.26.2009, 06:19 PM

Like the title says. At the track this weekend, I pop two 5S lipos in the truck to practice, I was in a hurry to get to the driver's stand since there was a couple spots open and instead of using my parallel harness, I plugged them in series. The truck ran and I was a little surprised of the power it had.I was at around 1/8th throttle and I was over shooting the biggest jumps
I did four laps before the truck just stopped. I take it back to the pit and realize the mistake I made as soon as I take off the lid. I temped the motor, 212 degrees. I temped the ESC, 146 degrees. I temped the lipos, 128 degrees. I was geared for 40 mph on 4S. I let everything cool down for 45 minutes and put two 2S lipos in series. The truck ran like nothing happened. I hope I didn't weaken the motor or ESC, I'm afraid that I might have some problems soon because of my mistake.

What do you guys think? Other than I was an idiot


No brain, no headaches.
