8s Savage Setup (Cant Choose An ESC) - RC-Monster Forums

jzemaxx, if you parallel two esc's (possible?) each running 4S, you have a system with a total of 4S. You can't put them in series to run 8S as the voltage would kill the components that make it a 4S controller in the first place. If you try to put 8S into a motor, somewhere along the line components are dealing with 8S voltage.

you'd be better off with a single 6S MMM.

Exactly right.

I run a savage with mech brakes on 8s with a great planes 60amp hv esc and it works fine. Has a bit of a soft start, but is not difficult to drive around. If you plan to use motor brakes and reverse the mmm on 6s will be your best bet.

thats not right, if one esc is putting out 14.8v and the other is putting 14.8, wouldnt the motor see 29.6?
