Default Axial ESC w/ 10 cells

What is the motor limit for the stock Axial ESC at 10 cells?
I know it's 27 turns at 6-cells, but I wanna max this puppy out

I would be willing to bet that your stock ESC can not handle 12V...

The motor limit will be the same as motor limit is a measure of the number of turns that an esc can handle, not the number of cells. If your esc can take 10 cells (12v) then go for it

True..But if I go up in voltage, I would need to go down in amp draw to not blow the speedo..E.G.: an FXR or Sidewinder can handle only 35T or higher at 11.1v-12v..thus my question remains: could the AE-1 handle a 35T at 11-12v as well? BTW, I have contacted Axial, but gotten no response yet..thanx in advance for the help!

Yep, you are right, I just checked Tower's website:

I guess I would have lost that bet!

max it out, if you fry it, they are cheap enough to replace.

I'm running 27T on mine now, with 2s LiPo, I'm thinking about going to 3s though, I'll let you know how that goes!
