Now my esc leds jus flash like krazy dont know if it was the motor or esc that smoked? but it halled ass my ? is i ordered a set of 3s 20c 5000max flightmax lipos and a monster mamba v3 should i try the 8xl if it ain't fried or get a diff motor? And what ones will work and last a while oh yeah its on my e revo.

Worth a shot with the 8xl.. not going to last long on 6s. Your best bet is to get the 2200kv combo.


The reason your esc smoked is becaus they are rated for 25v a freshly charged 6s pack is 25.2v. When you went into brake/reverse it regenerated voltage and blew the esc up
