I see a Amain has the protek ones for receiver packs (6v cut off)

you want a Maxpro 4S lipo monitor..Not a regulator.

Search ebay and you'll find them...there like 7-9$ and well worth it.

The OFNA box is 2 775 motors and they are insane on my Common Sense 4s 6000mah, but it's only 8c you don't need a ton of amps hitting the motors.

Just broke in a new RB and Werk B5 on this battery and never got stuck at TDC on the motors.

Save your motors use a 3s and lower C rating.


C rating is directly related to how much Amperage the pack can put out....IMO 20C is minimum to ensure your pack will live a full life.

Undercutting the motor's to a 3S is only beating up on the pack and the motor's and IMO isn't a wise idea.
