hyperasus · **8cell A123 on MMM? -** 12.31.2008, 07:21 AM

Would the MMM speed controller handle the extra voltage? I've been running my E-Revo on 6s lipo for awhile now with no problems.(MMM & Neu 1521/1Y_1577kv). I would really like to go with the A123 cells but I run in too a voltage dilemma. I can either go with lower voltage packs and take a voltage hit, or go with huge 6s packs which are not only pricey, but also very hard to fit. So this got me thinking. What if i just bought 2 4cell packs and ran the truck at 26 volts. You guys think the MMM could handle it?

I've been threw just about every brand of ESC and have no desire to go with any other controller, so lets not go down that road. Also if you are wondering how I will be fitting A123 cells in my E-Revo its because I have the Kershaw-Designs chassis http://home.ptd.net/~kershawd/Kersha...vo-Chassis.htm

So what do you guys think? Should I do it, or would I just be sending my MMM to certain death?
