Default Can a Rooster ESC handel a stock TR motor with 2 cell Lipo?

Can a rooster crawler ESC handle a stock SCX10 TR motor on 2 lipos ?
The TR motor is 27 turn and the rooster specs say the limit is 27 turn with 6 cell. Anyone do this with a 2 cell lipo?

basically if you got an XBEC and set the bec to 5.7V, technically you could do it, But I am not 100% positive, only 99.8% sure
But the other thing to concider is the voltage needed to opperate fuctions as well if the internal heatsinks installed can the voltage supplied. Even though your XBEC is set to that, the ESC still has to process it.

Another issue is that youill have to get a voltage cut off. That ESC doesnt have one obviously.

I'm think that when you run 2 packs parallel it just raises the mAh, instead of raising the voltage. Do a search on it but I think you will be fine if you wire them correctly.

I dont think I was misleading him at all.
I was assuming he was using the Rooster, and not the Rooster crawler.

Perhaps that would help in knowing which one specifically he was refering to.
