I have a Novak Tepmest Max which can handle a 10-cell pack (so 12 volts total) so I am thinking of hooking up a 3S lipo (well within the limits of the ESC) but I am wondering if the motor (Speed Gems 17T) will be able to hold up to the increase in votage? Has anyone found a motor that can handle 11.1V with no problems? Thanks
