Hey people, just built my berg. But dont know where i will be installing my 2 x Novak Rooster ESC + 2 x 7.2V Battery packs :-( There seem to be no place, well actually i figured out that i can fit the escs by doing a mod to the center front and rear joints but where shall i put the batteries ?? By the way can i run 2 x Novak 55 motors with one Novak Rooster ESC??? |

I donno about the Rooster, but that is why most guys run a single ESC that can take a 3s lipo... tiny as hell and super light.

What size batteries? Why 2 batteries? Yes you can run two 55t's with the rooster. | |

You might be able to mount the battery on the skid plate with the electronics above it. Hard to say without any pics  | |

ck the manual for the roosters - no 3 cell lipos and no 7 cell nimh - 2 cell lipo or 6 cell nimh are your options - i would recommend 1 2200 mah 2 cell lipo - just as fast as a 7 cell but keeps the power longer - helps with axle or "clod"  stall as well

The Rooster Crawler ESC manual says 2S Lipo max but I ran mine on 3S for over a year with no problems. You just need an external lipo cutoff as the ESC cutoff is set for 2S and can't be changed. I make no guarantees, just saying that I had no issues on 3S lipo with the Rooster, berg axles and dual Novak 55t motors. I also ran it on 7 cell nimh saddle packs before I switched to Lipo, no issues with them either. |

Oops, just saw it in "related threads" and forgot to check the date. Almost 4 years old, that's a personal record for me. At least I'm not trying to get 30 posts.....
