MM on 5s?

[tc3_racer_001]

riceman how is this possible. i would like to see some eagle tree data or videos... i dont believe you at the moment sorry!

the capacitors are rated @ 25v... so 4.2x6 = 25.2, and when you brake etc. it creates spikes.... just seems unplausible.

No need to be sorry. I wouldn't have believed it either if I didn't try it myself. As Matthew already pointed out I posted some video of a race qualifier with two of the three Tekno vehicles I mentioned. The orange car featured is not one of them. It's running 6S but with a Monster Max. The third one I was referring to is mine running 6S on a Mamba Max but I was not racing that day. Luckily I was able to show up for a little bit to take the video. If Eagle Tree helps, here is some data I collected when I first put my motor battery combo together. Tekno Neu edition 1515 3D, Zippy 6S 5000Mah lipo and Mamba Max. The first half of the graph is simulated race - repeated acceleration and braking. The second half of the graph are WOT runs.

Again, as Matthew stated, we are all running clutches and mechanical brakes. The only spikes you see on the chart are from acceleration. No braking spikes. So while it may seem "unplausible" - it's definitely not impossible. And to reiterate, I originally posted to respond to mriccucci's original question of whether the MM was capable of 6S.
