probably....i cant seem to find much more info on this hull except from that quote i posted....i guess you could ask hanspeter over on the RRR forum if you really want to know....i do know the schulze has a 40 cell limit, and it did leave me wondering how the esc could handle that cell amount (your probably right in that the cells are paralleled), but apparently hanspeter knows what he's doing, if i remember correctly that boat gets speeds around 100mph....
