Mamba Max and 5S?

[BP-Revo]

I do have a few caps (a couple of the Novak HV caps and also 4, 330uf, 35v caps that I got from suicideneil). And I'm sure MetalMan has a boatload like he already mentioned.

So if I just put on more caps you guys think I'll be ok?

I figure that more voltage will help reduce current loads and therefore will be less stress for the ESC, since the FETs are technically rated for 6S...

I melted some excess solder when I ran mine on 5s and it blew out a few fets.

This may have been due to a huge voltage spike casue b a rock in my spur gear. And the fact it was spinning a 7xl. Add a few caps and give it a try, just gear low and take it easy until you get some good temp readings.

I will say that a 7xl on 5s lipo in a 1/8 buggy is badass, never got a chance to get it hot, but i am sure that it would cook!
