I got it! here it is... Get 2 4s 5000 mah zippys. Then a 100a plane esc. I can run the packs in series (14.8v i think) for the 8xl, and hook them up in parallel to run the 80mm or similar motor when i get it. that covers me for now, and for later. mech brakes of course...

Anyone else think that is a good idea? i could just buy the mmm and call it a day, but for only a tad more, i could potentially be running an 80mm on 8s in a savage.... don't know how that would compare to the standard 6s setup... but should run pretty good i would think.

Got that backwards.


series give you double the voltage (what the "s" in 4s means)


parallel will give you double the runtime and no voltage change.

Seems like it could work
