Novak 6.5 question..
 

This is a question from my buddy..

"The system is a Novak 6.5 HV pro. My question is if I hook up 2 2S batteries the way its wired from the factory will I have 4s? Also is there anything wrong with connecting both reds and both blacks to one connecter. I am trying to avoid running a BEC or reciever pack. "

He got his hyper up and running good, but the steering was real slow. We found out it was because he was using 1 pack without an external BEC. We're trying not to have to run one using 1 pack.



Thanks.

it will be equivalent of a 4s pack. it has built in BEC i believe

So the ESC automatically puts the batterys in series?

yes.

Thanks. Now is there anyway possible to use 1 battery and no BEC?

When you say one battery, do you mean a single 4s lipo?

Without using the built-in bec, you will have to use an rx pack or UBEC- leave the esc turned off when you plug in the batts, and that will take the load off of the built in bec.

pretend there is only a single BL motor, ignore the lvc if you have one of the newer hvmaxxes.

depepnding on how its wired- some dual battery esc's run the BEC of one side of the input (one battery) depending on how it is wired you might be able to get away with it

Hvmaxx has the bec ran off of one side, just like the evx/evx2- the built-in bec should be fine on those escs though, unless you are running a pair of huge digital servos. Stick with a normal pair of 2s lipos, or do what I posted above in the diagram.
