|  Rooster 12t crawler edition EEC on 11.1?? Can it handle it???
I have a Novak rooster 12t crawler edition esc that I'm ready to Put to use. I just read the instructions and noticed it's only Rated for 2 cell lipos...... All my crawler lipos are 11.1 and I use external bec's on all my crawlers, so does anyone kmow If it can handle a 3cell lipo?? Or has anyone tried it?? Mr Holmes Feel like chiming in on this one?! And yes I know that if I do it my warranty is toast. Thanks for any input On this one  . I would just hook it up and try forMyself, but it's soo hard to get the smoke back in an Esc when something goes wrong  Last edited by 929freak; 02-06-2009 at 11:49 PM. |

When a company says the ESC can only handle a 2S lipo, they usually mean it  Although you may be able to get away with running an 8-cell NiMH battery (9.6V) for a little while, running a battery with 11.1V will surely fry it. |

Max rated for this ESC 8.4V. 11.1v will most likely let out the magic puff of smoke.
