I run an EVX with the single pack mod done to it and I used to run the stock motors, too, on a Clod... Just make sure to run the motors in parallel... The only issue I had, was the BEC was too weak for an average servo, let alone running 2 servo's... I fixed that by puttin' a 5 cell hump pack on the RX and pulled the red wire from the EVX's RX plug and it all works good... As for packs, I use the SMC 3600 6 cell packs right now... 1 at a time... Any 6 or more cell pack can be used with the single pack mod.. |

thanks for the response.....when you say "pulled the red wire from the evx rx plug "do i not use the black and white wire either ?? in other words do i just not plug in the red/blk/wht wires from the evx and just plug the hump pack where the bat plug is on the reciever...

With the red wire removed from the ESC's plug and an RX pack, the 5 cell hump pack, yes, the servo will be quite happy... And the switch on the ESC will still work, too... | |

I'm basically doing the same thing as Daviolentone. I have clod motors with evx esc. I run two batteries on my rig (3600/3700) but only using one battery at a time. I get about 3 hours total runtime from both. My application required a receiver battery pack because the evx couldn't handle the servo without glitching. Basically what he told you, he told me too  |
