What type woud be better. Difference in handling, weight, etc. Btw i am soley a basher, no racing whatsoever. They will most likely from pro match. there ener-g 5000.
thaanks in advance

Well I've heard amazing things about the new & cells, but they are too much for me right now. If your solely a basher then you might as well just go 8 cell, since it'll be faster and what not. Assuming your set up can handle the 8 cell...

Hitting the shift key produced a "&" when you meant a "7" im pretty sure.....................the eight cell will give you more speed, but there are not alot of stock ESC's made to handle an 8, an XL-5 can, you need to check the specs of your esc.

I know the & mistake

anyway more info.....:

Difference in handling: not much, just the extra weight of the 1 cell + more power
weight: 1 NiMH cell difference
etc: might need a better charger, might need better ESC, might fry your motor faster (titan 12T is only rated at 7 cells), runs hotter

yeah, i have a pede with the xl-5, and a s-600 motor. i wont be getting the batteries yet, just setting goals
I believe that a onyx 220 can handle a 8 cell.

EDIT: just noticed the title

Here's a motor you can run..................i've had a few of them, they're pretty decent and they are rated for 8 cells! This should "Speed the Pede"

Length: 2.26" (57.5mm) (can and endbell)
Diameter: 1.42" (36mm)
Shaft diameter: 1/8"
RPM: 25,300
Power: 144w
Operating Voltage: 4.8v - 9.6v

i have some 7 cell hump packs from pro match i can sell you. if interested? they ate the 4200 ones with deans connectors

thanks for the motor advice rebuilder, but i believe my current motor will speed it enough

thanks but no thanks josh.

Here's a good bargain..........this is cheap for promatch
