Yeah, but the "high Voltage lower KV setup" means a 1200 to 1400 KV motor on 6S, not a motor people usually run on 4S (One of Drake's setups is a 1700 Tekin on 4S geared 16:45 in a E-8).

Maybe for you.

Two of the clubs I race at have an open battery rule. No one abuses it (running 4S and a 2650 motor, for example) because they are dirt tracks and more power doesn't help - just...

With the correct motor selection, you will not be overpowered on 3S.

I've been running an RX-8 for 3+ years in a car with mechanical brakes (Airtronics 94360 servo) and have never used an external BEC. Nor does my Spektrum receiver brown when I brake.

Not really.

If you are a SuperSaver club member you currently have a coupon code for $50 off that $329 (making it $279) plus free shipping.

So with Shipping, Stormer costs $7.95 more.
