7.2v and parallel should pull twice the amps as 14.4v and series. But does that only affect the ESC is what I'm wondering. Either way the motors are getting 7.2v each.

Basically, is it better to run 14.4v and series motors or 7.2v and parallel? I assumed 14.4v would be more efficient.

*edit* Metal you posted when I did. I thought about that too, but why is the Super Rooster heating up so quickly with 27t motors and only 8 cells when it has a 10 cell limit? Maybe the 10 cell limit is for single motors, it doesn't specify?
