What plugs are best to run on 1/5 scale

[Desert Rc]

Just bought and recieved a
HPI Baja 5SC SS RC M Electric Conversion Kit CC XL2 ESC/2028 Motor

I have
4 Kershaw 14.8v 40c 5c charge 5000mah (2sets of 8s)
2 Losi 18.5v 25c 4000mah (10s)

I guess I have two questions

1. What plugs do I run....I've only had up to 6s and I just did deans
2. I thought this motor was only capable of 8s tops....but the 5s lipos came with new....am I asking for trouble.


Well I knew this was the only place to get solid reliable feedback so...thanks in advance.

I run deans on my brushless baja, and have not had a problem.

8s is the limit. The motor can handle 10s, but the esc can only handle 8s.

Thanks. I guess I have a pair of obsolete 5s lipos. Ill sell them.

On the other I figured it needed a bigger plugs bc the wire are so big and hefty. Ill get to work.

Thanks for the feedback.
