14s - 02.29.2012, 01:13 PM

First, you would need a 14s ESC and a 14s motor capable of powering the truck. A pair of 7s packs(Hyperion, for example) will fit the battery tray, though you would need longer straps. I don't see how you would need more wiring or wiring difficulty - the motor and esc and batteries are all near each other on the chassis and a pair of 7s packs wires up the same as a pair of 4s packs. The theoretical 14s setup will create the same challenge on any configuration not designed for your specific(theoretical) setup - nothing is really "one size fits all", but we try for "one size fits most". :)

I have all the above electrics

14s do weigh heavier, thats why i was asking about saddle aswell

Then it isn't a theory now, is it? Does the ESC have car firmware and brakes? If not, you would need another servo, servo mount, etc. as well. Without good car firmware, startup leaves a bit to be desired as well. The mount is only one hole away from accepting mechanical brakes, and the stock brake disc will work with the 2028 motor and an 18t pinion or larger(could also trim the disc to allow smaller pinions). The setup shown here is ideal and will work for most without any additonal complexities. For your 14s setup, you may need to do something differently - I guess you maybe already knew that, though(14s in itself is out of the ordinary - I have a 1:1 electric dirt bike that runs on 14s so maybe it is a little overkill for this car?!). :)
