|  Moped failed on a 11.1v 2200LiPo!!!
This Moped served me well with a standard 4200mah 6cell Intellect but crapped its guts on a 11.1v LiPo ...Just a warning !!!!!

Mopeds have a 6 cell limit dont they? I run mine on 7 cell and it gets a little hot. Did you even get to pull away? Matt |

I think the limit is 7, but I never got the nerve to try it.

Wow.....they should put some kind of warning on the box that says somehing like a 7 cell NiMh limit. I guess its there fault cause they dont convert that to 8.4 volts........

@HeadHunter: The specs on the Moped clearly state it is only rated to 8.4V my friend: Input Voltage: 4.8v-8.4v (4-7cells) "ON" resistance: 0.00056 OHM Impulse Current of MOSFET: 70A PWM Frequency: 2k - 4KHz BEC output voltage: 5.0v (2A) |

I ran mine numerous times on 9 cells (before switching to a Sidewinder) with no issues. But I had the red wire pulled and was using a CC BEC. I read somewhere that the ESC's BEC causes it to get hot trying to use the higher voltage. By pulling the red wire on the ESC, I eliminated the BEC. Maybe it's luck,but I have had no issues with it.

 I felt like trying it regardless to converting NiMH specs to LiPo and making sense of that... Some things need to be tested ....like the RTR AX-10 ESC do you think everyone read a whole bunch of in depth LiPo info before they went ahead and tried it  with 3 cell L's...Kamikaze also said Wow.....they should put some kind of warning on the box that says somehing like a 7 cell NiMh limit. I guess its there fault cause they dont convert that to 8.4 volts........ are you suggesting he didn't read the box too ??? | |

Who gives a crap what the box says? Lots of people run too many volts to the ESC to see if it will work. I think he was just trying to state that 11.1V is too much. | |

Technically the box says 4-7 cells. He's was only running 3 cells when it crapped out. |
