Oh #%@!! What did I do to my SMC Lipos?

Well, I have run alot of 4s setups, with many different escs and batteries and motors. My experience is that 4s setups run hotter, and just do not have the punch/voltage reserve that a 5s setup does. Now 6s with a lower kv motor is even better.

I really do not care what some mgm manual says, or how many people successfully run 4s setups in heavy vehicles. Just cause it works does not mean it is optimum or the best that can be done. I have run enough combos to know what works. If you have the option to run higher voltage do it. You will not be disappointed.
