Combination of 2s / 3s lipo

Do you have plans for a 3s capable esc that will support the 550's ?

Few folks over on the Traxxas forums seem to be having issues with the Mamba Max Pro's

I was thinking the Tekin RX8 may be an alternative

Cheers

I ran a HV6.5 on 3S with a Tekin RX8 and it worked fine.

HV4.5 on 2S is pretty fast. I would expect you to have lots of part deterioration and outright failures running the HV4.5 on 3S in a Slash 4X4, especially the center bearing.
