On another subject, one of the spec points on the Castle site regarding how many cells can be used says:
"Controller and motor max 2S. Controller alone with motor of lower KV max = 3S."
So the controller is good to 3S like we suspected.
But what about the motor? If a 4600 is good to 3S when using with a Mamba Max or Pro, shouldn't the 1410 1Y motor be usable on 3S with a controller that has higher current handling capability, like a MMP or Monster?

Maybe the limit is not because of current handling but because of a switching speed limitation.
I think that with a 4 pole motor the ESC needs to switch power to the winding twice as many times per rev compared to a 2 pole motor.
If that is correct, then running a 4800KV 4 pole motor on 3 cells would require the same switching speed as running a 2 pole 9600KV on 3 cells or a 2 pole 4800KV on 6 cells.
Maybe Patrick could enlighten us.
