Default RE: The Truth about the Tamiya TEU101-BK ESC

I've just tried running a 11.1V 2800mAh lipo on my TEU-101 driving a 540 silver can in a 2wd buggy. In order not to fry the receiver, I cut the receiver supply wires and inserted a 5V regulator (7805, 1 amp). It works well, the 101 hardly getting warm, and the car goes like stink :-)

The ESC may suddenly die, however, so don't take this as a guarantee that your TEU-101 will run your application on 11.1 Volts

im running a teu-101 in my vendetta mini. its great with a 1320 mah 7.4 lipo. the esc never gets hot the motors scream. im running 380 brushed motors and this esc. im wondering what would happen if i put my 11.1 volt 1350 mah lipo on it . will the extra voltage hurt this esc since im running a smaller motor it draws less amps right? would i get a real advantage in power or just fry motors faster?
i got this esc in a trade and have been quite suprized with it i can hammer on it hard and it barely makes any heat at all after i did the heatsink mod.
