12 cells on an LRP F1 Pro? - 09.19.2005, 03:08 PM

Hey guys,

I know this isn't a brushless question but you all have the most electronics knowledge of any RC forum. And I know this sounds like a dumb question, but do you think I could get away with running 12 cells and Titan (23T 550 Mabuchi's) on my LRP F1 Pro speedo? I know it's beyond the "official" specs.

Right now I'm running twin 14T motors on 7 cells, which is right on the unit's limit...it gets hot after a run, but never thermals. However this setup just isn't powerful enough for me, so I have been wondering if given the much lower amp draw of twin Titans (it'd be equivalent to running a single 14T motor) I could up the voltage to 14.4V? As far as I can work out, there wouldn't be any particularly voltage-sensitive components in the speedo. If it would just be a matter of keeping a close eye on temperatures then that would be fine, I just don't want to hook up the 12 cells to have the unit just fry immediately...I can't afford a new one, lol! Dude, I type far too much lol, sorry for the long post guys. But thanks for any help.:)
