3S soft case with just 2200mAh is often more than small enough

You have to program the esc to use Brushed.

Then you just don't use the white wire...just the black and red ones.

[wedobelive]

are your running that in high power brushed mode? with the wire ?

@wedobelive

Not sure what you meen. It's just a 540 instead of a 380 and 11.1 V instead of 6/7.2V.

It's just for fun.

I love this setup but I'm probably going to break something...
