8 cell...

[fordman]

does anyone know if you can make an 8 cell on stock fets? i want to try it, but i thought i would ask.

[Stampedekid]

you can, but it is really hard on your fets and your motor, i would sugges a 5,6, or 7 cell

[fordman]

would 2x2 upgrade work with 8 cell?

[xmodsnut]

should work but I would go for a lipo battery pack instead to keep weight down

do that, the 8 cell might not fit under the car/truck, 8 cells are very big

[fordman]

they will fit under the cover of an f-150.

[Stampedekid]

well, i dont suggest getting it.

[fordman]

ok.

[chevelle1972]

try a hummer body there is more room under it

I used to have a 8cell on stock fets but my lancer is now in R/C heaven because it went sooo fast I hit a curb and it blew into peices!!!

[fordman]

wel, maybe only a six cell...

[civicblack10]

im not positive but i don't think 8 cells has anything to do with the fets, the thing i would be worried about would be frying the board, 9.6v is too much.

I guess fets has nothing to do with the number of voltages ur xmod can take. You will Probably burn your EP but the fets would have nothing to do with it.

[BOBCABOB]

I wouldn't do it, it would weigh a ton and that would make you lose some power anyway

[123Vette]

No 8 cells would most definatly blow the fets. trust me i tried.

[sweetvette]

fets have nothing to do with that
the electronic board as a whole can only safely tolerate up to 8.4 volts.

Wow, bunch of noobs that dont know what they're talking about. FETS has Nothing to do with the battery voltage/batteries. FETS are for current charged from the motor. And I wouldnt suggest getting an 8-cell its just dead weight, youll have a much more efficient car with a 5 or 6 cell.

i admit, i have no clue, the extent of my modifing was radio shack, and a few things from xi.
