Hyper ST Pro Brushless clarification....

I'm not sure that anyone is running two packs for longer runtime - that would add to your weight significantly. Most run two smaller packs for better weight distribution. One pack is a simpler layout and it only takes a minute if you have a second pack to change it out when you are bashing.

Yeah, but it gives the opportunity.

I can run either my twin 2S packs in series for 4S at the track. And I often run the twin 3S in parallel at the track for runtime or when bashing. 6S for the most part is just plain to stupid fast with my combo. Its really only useful for the shock and awe bit.

With 3S I keep up with the nitro 1/8th buggies on the straights. They have a higher terminal top speed, but they don't have the room to use it, so the acceleration of the electric system offsets it. On 4S I walk away easily.

I have considered twin 4S packs in parallel, but that is too much weight and breakage will occur. The truck would settle in just at 11lbs with twin 4S packs.

Twin 2S = 9.8lbs
Twin 3S = 10.5lbs
Twin 4S = 11.0lbs

Or if you want kilograms the base weight w/o batteries is 3.751kg.
