Dude, thanks - that's exactly what I was trying to say. And yeah, I think you're right about the efficiency. Since you're drawing less amps - the heat load is lower and I think it just runs better. At least that's what I'm betting on since I've got a 6s 3900 waiting to go into my XT8.

i am aware, but thank you for the info. I plan on running on 4s and throwing in a 5s pack purely for vulgar displays of power.

I already have two 2s and a 3s for my Rusty. I can get 4s and 5s there with a series adapter. I will be buying separate batts for the revo though as I only have 1 battery tray.

My e-maxx on youtube. I want to get a monoblock or kershaw 1/6 chassis to extend the wheelbase.

I don't have a vid of the rc8t yet, but since getting it, I am undecided if I should sell the maxx.
