Is the gtb 4-cell just for a smaller foot print or do the larger esc's not really handle the smaller number of cells.
If the later, what other escs would work for 4-cell or (1s lipo, if these are to come out)
The regular GTB does not fit under most 1/12 bodies, the 4-cell version has the same case size(footprint) but the cooling fins have been replaced with a flat plate to reduce the height. Its been a long time since I had a gt7 but it should fit. However it will not work with brushless of course. Now as to the 1s lipo, SMC has a pack out and other companies are working on it too. It may become the new standard for 1/12, time will tell on that.
