4 cell?

[KyoshoK]

hi,

anyone here try running 4 or 5 cell on the standard chassis?

wondering if it would adversely effect the balance of the car?

i was think 4 cells and put the cells in the centre. i.e leave the front and rear slot empty....

any thoughts?

i recon if you run 4 cells and have them in the center it might put your car off balance a bit cause theres less wait.

Also your car wouldnt last as long.

If you left everything else identical, the 4-cell car would actually last longer. But it would be a lot slower.

As far as balance goes, the car is currently overweight on the battery side, a motor weighs about 150g, electronics around 100g total, but a pack of 4200's weigh about 400g (65g per cell).

Why would you want to run 4 or 5-cells? I did't think any of the discussions about 4 or 5 cell rules applied to off-road?

hi. just curious i guess. also less tire wear. and my track really doesnt need all the speed my 6.5r provides.

i made up a few 5 cells and 4 cell packs. see how she goes.

only problem is I dont think my DPD equilizer can do 5cell.
