Upgrade ECS and NEU motor question..

Until I was 13 I lived in the Raleigh Durham area, then moved up to Kerr Lake at the end of my 8th grade year of school.

"Just got a pair of ThunderPower 2S 7.4 5000MAH. The wiring they use can't even let the full power of the batteries out though."

What battery does have wire rated to match the output of the pack? 14awg gets hot if you push 15 amps through it, 12awg won't take more than 20amps for long. Yeah, they can handle a little more current in free air, as oppsed to being bundled in a conduit filled to capacity, but the idea of being able to put a continous 120amps through a 12awg wire is silly.

Thank you so much. Does the stock motor have the ability to break 50?

The stock motor/esc combo has no problem going over 50, the key is more voltage! If you want to go over 50, you need more then 6-7 cell NIMH, and need to move to 3S (11.1v) lipo packs.

You can see my setup with stock motor/esc that went 55.8 mph.
