Ok so Ive been into r/c for a very long time , and decided to get a cliff climber ... I got one on a trade from here and it is very nice ... works great . Im new to the crawling scene. My question is this . It is the rtr version with all the electronics , I know On the evx esc you can jump one side and run one battery , as this is what I do with my clod... I run a three cell lipo in it .. This cliff climber runs on two batteries , I know the esc will jump one side as I already tried it .. My question is if I do that can I run the 3 cell lipo in it with out hurting the motors .? Its 11.1 volt 4000 mah battery . I dont know if this esc allows a true 7.2 volt per motor, or is it just combined for 14.4 ?

Oh yeah I was able to get the 3 cell lipo to fit and it will work nicely under the body .

It should be just fine for it (actually easier on the motors) I'm interested to know how fast it is on 3S , like is it too fast?

Ok I'll keep u guys up to date I'll do it today sometime

Well I jumped the esc and ran the 3 cell lipo with no problems ... it runs good .

Is it too fast for crawling? or about right? Is there motor stall?

djr01974

I didn't notice any stall . It's about as fast or just a tade
bit slower . Not a big change is speed but should get a butt load of run time with
4000 mah

So far so good , this thing is killer on run time. Today I made a lock out for the rear steering and removed the servo... steers great still climbs great ... I ordered some steel drive cups for the diffs and will install them when they get here ... I have posted some pictures of the truck with the rear lock out and how I mounted the 3 cell lipo. I am able to fit it on top of the front servo with not issues so I may try that and see how it goes, but for now Im gonna have fun with it .
