    What lipos will fit and can this handle 2x2s

    I'm running 6s. In erbe... Got 2 mini summits for the kids. I ordered 6 ***** ********* 2200 mah 40 c.... Can this esc hold up to 4s or do I have to run them in parallel as opposed to series.... I'm sure 4s would be ridiculous in this, but will the esc handle it.... I forget which esc it is, they both came from tower last week, so it's the most recent esc, vxll? Just don't have it in front of me.... I know it's the vxl, but not sure which one... I read on here these batteries will fit... Any advice would be appreciated.... Thanks, J

    The motor will take 4S, the esc will last a very short amount of time on 4S(3 days?)

    I doubt the esc would last 3 days on 4s. 4s might fry it on the first run. Basically run them in parallel. The most the esc can take is 3s.

    Thanks guys, that's what I thought, just checking.... I'm used to boats that need 6s minimum, and your lucky if you get 7 minute runtime on 10,000 mah.... I'm sure 2s in parallel, they can drive this till they're bored.... Thanks, J

    You will get a lot of run time on 2s in parallel. I run 2 2000mah 2s and usually break something before the battery dies.
