Success on 6s

[Patrick]

About a week and halve ago I went to my LHS for a few little things, and one of the car guys there that I've known for a while told me about the 6s flightpower packs they had on special. Apparently who ever they get there batteries from (in Australia) ordered too many of the 6s 4900mah 25C packs which don't usually sell fast, so they got rid of them for cheaper than usual. I got the pack for AUS $300, so around $260 US, plus I didn't have to pay postage

I originally bought it with the idea of pulling it apart and making 2 3s packs (I have a maxx) or a 2s and a 3s (that's what I'd been using in the maxx, and buying this 6s pack was cheaper than buying a 3s and 2s separately). Since looking at it I'm not sure if I should or not. Has anyone pulled lipo packs apart and reconfigured them before?
If I decide not to pull it apart I will change the motor mount in my truggy that I'm making to work with a single pack.

Anyway, back to the tittle. I decided to strap it into the maxx even though the balance would be a bit out of wack, and try my luck with the quark 125 and neu 1515 2.5d (1700kv). Well it seems I'm one of the lucky people who's quark runs on 6s, it didn't do anything strange at all.
My gearing for the test was 51/20 with stock diff gears (12.5:1) and some old proline bow tie's which balloon waaay too much at high speed. Wheely bar is important.
I did get a short vid, but I really don't like it (the vid, the car is good). The quality is bad and I didn't get a full speed pass, because the ballooning tires made it hard to put the power down properly. Anyway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoOlsYrUF5s
