I'm building a brushless MT2SS and the plan was to use a MM 4600 with MM controller on 12 GP3300 cells. I was reading through some other posts and someone mentioned that 12 cells is overkill for that size truck and 8 cells would be better on an "S" series motor. I'm obviously looking for speed but would also like drivability when not breaking the sound barrier.
I would love to run an 8 cell saddle pack to reduce weight.
8 cells with the MM5700 in the MT2 would be nice. I tried 6 cells in my MT2 and it was ok, needed a bit more. Went to 3s lipo and it was too crazy! So i settled on the 4600 with the 3s lipo.
At this point I have no intentions of trying Lipo. (yet) I just want to find a nice combo with either 8 or 12 cells. I'll make the battery holders adjustable for either one.
Looks like 8 cells = 5700.........12 cells = 4600.
Any other motor preferences with the MM controller if I stay with 8 cells?
