Mamba Max and 5S?

[Topspeedtimmy]

Today I tried powering up the MM on 6s. It worked when I turned off the cutoff just like GriffinRU said. But from what i'm reading here it looks like I better forget about 6s if there is any question about 5s. GriffinRU also said his mod doesnt affect the MM's ability to handle 6s either, so I guess i'll just have to wait for the "MMM"?

It would handle 6S but it won't protect your LiPo batteries. If you want to be safe with LiPo then you can cheat, by monitoring only half of your 6S LiPo cells. To do that you need to unsolder...is it scary?
If not, than unsolder black wire (close to red power wire) from power switch.
Then split your 6S LiPo into 3+3 or 2+4 whatever combo, you can even tap into balancing taps...
Attach you full 6S voltage to regular MambaMax power tabs. Then attach black wire from switch to red wire from lower side battery. Something like black wire from battery one to negative tab of ESC, red wire from the same battery to the black wire of next battery and black wire of power switch then red wire from second battery to positive tab of ESC.
I will try to draw or publish picture later over the weekend...
Then set you MambaMax cutoff at number of cell corresponding to lower battery and you good to go!!!
<<< 6S LiPo under MambaMax >>>
