Default thanks for the speedy advice!!!<!!!>

Salutations Earthlings!
to David Root and Newracer, thanks for the advice!
i don't think i can get a promatch pack here over here in Singapore but i'm sure i can solder a similar pack using loose cells.
so i'll just plug the recv pack into the rx and leave the esc switch off?
i always thought the esc switch prevented the esc from operating....not the rx.... have to try this though! thanks a bunch!
i used to have a kawada m300se which i really enjoyed playing with <mostly because it used stick packs which i could share with my touring car.> but i have since converted to 4 cells.if you guys haven't tried, the kawada tires are an excellent compound if you drive outdoors! they are soft, grippy and last forever!<well... maybe in dog years...>
btw, does anyone have any reccomendations for a good/excellent esc for 4 cell use?
most esc i find on the market are meant for a minimum of 6 cells.
i have found the postings about the front end quite informative and have gotten myself a old skool front end<mostly cause i was too lazy to build the strut front>and am itching to have a go with that.
i do know that for 6 cells, motor wear is quite low as a high turn motor is usually used, but is it the same for 4 cells?
is motor comm wear high?
