My sons bashing short course truck are running it on 2cell lipo rocketsport Orion 3350mah 25c
Can we run this Rc motor on 3cell overlander lipo ???

Any suggestions folks

according to a website when i typed it in to google, it has a 3900kv motor and a 90A esc so i would think you could. does it say anything about it in the manual or on the esc?

Brought this sc truck of eBay no manual

It is however brushed not brushless mate !!

i see the one i clicked on must have been a brushless version or something. most brush motors are only rated upto 7.2v and the highs voltage ones are bigger up to 550 size. if it's a stanard brushed set up then i would stick to 2s lipo. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item45ffea7e39 is this it?

That's the one mate goes like stink with the lipo in we were just wondering for bit of fun putting in 3cell lol ??
Wot u reckon would happen ?

[Jumper]

esc would give off magic smoke and die, or overheat, or catch fire. would be very fast though but not for long

i have run 3s without trouble in a hsp 1/10 scale car, with a 3300kv motor and the 75 amp novatech 6-12v speedo. Went like stink probably 60mph. How long it will last I don't know but these manufacturers make cars for other better known firms who then place their own stickers on the if you like. A lot of the Maverick models are exactly the same as HBX or HSP models, but you pay for the name and local parts back up/after sales.
