Higher voltage and efficiency

yes, and yes. But we are into details, we want to know how much more efficient. And we want to weigh the benefits of increased efficiency against the cost of hv setups. We want data and hard numbers!!

If cost is a factor than hv goes out the window for many. It cost me 2x as much for my mamba xl in my e-maxx compared to the previous MMM.

I feel cool when I tell people it runs on 30 volts!
