Default Cell count?

Does anyone know how many cells I can safely run on a stock 27 turn Reedy MVP? (if not limited by the ESC).

If it were mine, I wouldn't run on more than 7, watercooled.

That is a 540 with 24 deg timing, I would say 8 is safe and 10 cells max.

I don't know much about the Reedy motors, but I would say 7 cells is safe but 8 cells max. But then again I don't know much about the max cells for motors. So take other people's advice insted of mine; that know more about motors. Matt

On second thought that sounds about right.
