Tekin RX8 and Mugen Truggy Question.

Keep in mind that more voltage equals less amp draw when both setups experience the same load.

So if you have 2 identical trucks setup to run the same the speed, the higher voltage truck will have less amp draw than the lower voltage setup.

Less amp draw generally equals cooler components. Especially the speed control, which will likely be the same for both setups.

I knew that running 5S will help my stuff run cooler then on 4S and thanks for the advice,I know a fair bit about RC and although I have never built an 1/8th scale before I know that it will not pose any problems for me to build and I'am thinking of running 5S if I can find packs cheap enough and are of good guality.

Has anyone run the HobbyWing 150 Amp ESC and is it any good,I don't think I'll be running one unless I have problems although time with the Tekin setup but it's always nice to know.

I think the 150 Amp Team Orion is the same as the HobbyWing 150 Amp ESC and the same with the Hacker 150 Amp ESC.

I'd like to hear from a bunch about this ESC and if it's any good.
