Thanks for your reply;

you're right, I have some room between my pack and receiver, I will try to push the batteries backward. I have maybe almost an inch of room to adjust. I would like to keep current ESC and receiver arrangement since I find it looks very neat as it is.

Now about the 1P vs. 2P battery configuration, as you said the 3S1P is already a GREAT setup with the stock ESC and motor. Honestly I don't need or want more.

My only concern with 3S1P would be to pull too much current from the cells, which voltage would repeatedly sag under 2V (when under heavy load or accelerations on concrete)... I don't want to abuse them, I know they are robust but I just don't want a reduced lifespan

So : is the stock Rustler too hard on a 3S1P A123 pack sums up my thoughts

thanks for all the other answers. I don't think I'll try the 4S.
