| cell count
I don't know about the motors limit, but w/ the MM I would go w/ a 8 or 10 cell sadle pack on the front axle.

I was wondering that quetions; why more than 6 cells; what advatage is there? The disadvantage is the weight I suppose.

Adds additonal voltage, which will increase wheelspeed when needed, provide better torque, and gives extra weight over the front tires when axle mounted for improved climbing.

Does it harm the motor putting more power though. I'll use the CC BEC and regulate it to 6v for servo's.

yes, 2/3a cells. running 8 cells isn't going to hurt anything and the power and wheel speed is more than worth it!

Yeah, the first pack I installed on my new Axial is an 8-cell 2/3a saddle pack. I used cells from 2 Elite 1500 7.2V packs I thought were dead. Only one cell in each pack was actually dead and my 8-cell pack will take up to and even more than 1500mah when charging. Got over an hour and a half drive time last charge.

im not really familiar with the FXR but running just one servo should be just fine. muche cheaper ESCs will do the same thing, your FXR shouldn't have a problem. | |
