the esc will run 10 cells. They do have a break . Its a forward brake reverse esc. It does not however have a Drag Break. The brake on the esc is only good for stoping not holding.  I would suggest 2/3's a cells for a crawler.You need to make sure your charger will charge 10 cells before you go dumping the coin on the batteries. Most NiCd/NiMh chargers will only charge up to 8 cell packs. 8 cells is plenty for a crawler any way. If you want more power than that you would be better going with 3c lipo's. |

think i will order a 8 cell saddle pack with elite 1500 pack 16 or 18awg wire? what type of connector? and this charger http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...3&cat=7&page=1, unless someone knows of a cheaper charger that works great, saving money is a plus for me. i think that charger would work great when i upgrade the stock esc to a mamba max, this way i can play with drag and all that. |

And I run all deans ultra pplugs. You will need to convert the esc plug to deans too but its well worth it. The stock tamiya style plugs suck.

I have been thinking about that charger myself. It has about everything you could ever want on a charger. Doesn't it?
