guys running 5S+

Were you using the same gearing on 4S or 5S that you have with 3S? If so you, everytime you go up in cell count you will only be drawing more AMPs. Try a smaller pinion or a bigger spur and gear it for the same speed as you were getting from 3S. My 1521/1Y on 10S lipo with the same gearing I use with 6S will draw a lot of AMPs.

I am just trying to find out if the loss in power before the pack reachs 3v per cell is normal the higher you go. I ordered a 5S but when my money order got there they were out of stock so he is sending me a 6S for the same price. I'm worried because my MM won't have low voltage cutoff but if this trend I see keeps going I won't have to worry about it. Really don't want to push the MM that far but want more speed and I'm going to wait before I get an MMM.
