simplechamp · **Sidewinder V2 on 4S? -** 04.11.2011, 07:58 PM

Anyone try to run the Sidewinder V2 on 4S (with or without external BEC?) I know it would void the warranty, but just curious.

The application I'm considering this for is in an SCX10 with a Holmes Hobbies 1100kv outrunner, so it's not terribly demanding. From the few things I've been able to find people have run the Sidewinder V1 in crawlers/scalers on 4S no problem (with it even beeping 4 times at startup to indicate 4S lipo). What I didn't know if the V2 will allow the same, or does it have a more advanced over-voltage protection?

Also, no one indicated whether they were using the internal BEC or external, but I would probably use an external BEC to be safe(er).
