Either way they are out of warranty. There is no check that makes them not work on a 4s pack. Be careful with technical details presented as fact on discussion groups. The person that started this rumor has no contact with us and if we made a change like this, we would let people know. We do say that if the Mamba Max is used with 4s it is out of warranty but this is not an ESC
limit, 4s will destroy our high Kv motors. The ESC is actually OK on 4s, but
still out of warranty."
What I don't get is how is the 4600 rated to run 12 NiMh cells on the MM under warranty, but 4S Lipo voids your warranty? Apparently the guys at Castle have no idea just how much voltage a lot of the newer NiMh cells are supplying these days.
