RE: Help with traxxas boat
I'm not really sure what you are asking....
If the ESC says 14.4 volts it means you can run up to 12 NIMH cells.
So yes, you can run 7 cells...however it will be half the speed, and probably won't even get on plane.
Why would you want to run a slower boat...SPEED IS KING [>:]
