timbuk2 on 3s?

[brianw]

I really want a pro4 3300 but I've got a perfectly good timbuk2, 13.5 combo sitting right here as well as a mmp. Can the 13.5 be run with the mmp on 3s? Will the timbuk2 esc hold 3s with a external bec? And I know...take "perfectly good" with a grain of salt, it is a Novak...

I don't have a single 2s pack...

Thanks.

I ran my 2s Goat with a 13.5 on 3s for about two years, with a BEC. IMO if it smokes it smokes, you didnt lose anything but a PITA. I run the same 13.5 on a MMP one cell with 3s now and it's so much better. Smoother slower low end, higher top speed and a drag brake that functions correctly and doesn't make everything super hot just sitting there when it's maxed. Throw in ease of use of castlelink and not having to constantly reprogram and you'll wanna torch the Novhack. Also if the sensors get wet on the motor with the MMP it just kicks into sensorless, the Novhack will go stupid, no drag or instant reverse and all kinds of glitches until it dries.
