Default quick emaxx question about batt. and motor

hi, is the batteries to the emaxx seperate for each motor or are they connected as one full power source? what im trying to say is ...since there are 2 motors and 2 batteries..is one battery supplying one motor ...or is it just 2 batteries for 2 motors.
im asking this becuase some ppl are telling me two 7 cells for the emaxx is fun but can fry the titans...so im thinking..what if i i put one 7 cell and the other a 6 cell...that should be ok. but if it s one battery to one motor...then i cant do this.

no the esc changes it from two battery souces into one. it basiclly has a v connector but it is inside esc case. and u can run the 15.6 voltss cause that betwewen the 7 cells and the 6 cells. that is what my friend has and it works perfect. just enough power to not fry stuff. just buy 2 fusion 7 cells and two fusin 6 cells that way u can charge them while u are runin the others

Yes, you can do that. The batteries are really in one big series loop although just by looking at the connections it doesn't appear that way..

mix and match no prefrence on it as it is a 14v system. As a clod buster owner I remember 2 6 cell batts, and a special pkg. I doubled the 2 six cells and ran it with the special pkg and doubled my speed and run time
so the same can be done to the mas dble the batts as a 6 or 7 cell. and run it in a series x 2 and you'll dble the run time but have to charge 4 batt's.

you mean hook two battery packs of the same voltage to each other in parrellal, then plug that in to one of the connectors? then do the same for the other side? That will theoritically double your run time, but due to the weight being significantly more, you usually dont see that. It doesnt help your speed at all unless your controller and motors are pulling more amps then one pack of batteries can supply (nearly Impossible in RC brushed motors, and brushless motors as well).
