E-Revo Motor Selection

I'm seriously considering a pletty maxximum. What do you think about that motor paired with a mm esc with 14 cells??

I am using the Bigmaxximum with a MM and 5s. It works perfectly with 16/52 gearing and stock diffs. However, Mike has told me that for some reason all the new MM that are being sold cannot handle 5S or that they simply won't run on anything higher than 4S. Sooooo, with 14 nimh cells I would think you should be safe but i don't really have a clue because I have only ever run lipos. I don't own anything else.

ok heres my proposed setup:

pletty maxximum with fan
quark 65a esc
12-14 ib 4200 cells
truck will be around 7.5 lbs.

is tere any skid that alum or ti thats lighter than stock for a 3.3 chassis?

im also running the proline 37 series velos and the proline 37's holeshots
(apparently the lightest truggy rims and tires ever made, wheel 55g each, tires 122g each)

A lot of users have reported that the MM wont handle 14 cells either ....it just wont arm at start up....its internal voltage limit is like 20 volts or something......a freshly charged set of NiMh can be over 21 volts...

So its 4s or twelve cells to stay safe.
