| 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: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXULR4&P=7 I guess I would have lost that bet! |

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