parellel vs series question....

[TWCFI]

Exactly....you were speaking proper english and I was spouting some sort of gibberish that only hamsters respond too. Thank you very much for setting me straight and getting my mind oriented in the proper direction.

Thanks for the motor recommendation. What Kv motor? I would love to hit steady mid to upper 40's and maybe a peak at 50. I would like to run a total of 6 cells in any configuration in the Mystic. I plan on getting a SK 180 amp esc so the motor is wide open. Thanks again for the help.

A leopard 3674 1400kv would be great! I'm saying 3674 based on you're running 6s1p. You could go up in can size to 4074, but then you're getting into running a 6s2p setup.

[TWCFI]

Ok so IF I understand the 6s1p...which I think means 2 3 cell batteries wired in parallel..... then I should go with a 3674 1400kv motor and experience good performance.

Am I deciphering the 6s1p properly?

Almost. 6s1p=two 3s packs wired series
6s2p= two 6s packs wired parallel.
I know it's confusing at first.
The stock rtr proboats are all set up to run series

And yes the Leo on 6s1p will kick butt!

Dana you rock! Thank you so much for the help. I will post progress when I make it. Hopefully soon.

Thanks again,

Hey Dana! You think you could teach me how to wire my batteries in parallel? Is there any way you draw me a picture or diagram so i won't get confused? Thanks D.

Check out the "tips" section on the OSE main site (not the forum). There is a great interactive tool that will sort it all out for you:
