Chapter 4. Recommended Configurations

These are configurations for beginners, and therefore we tend to recommend inexpensive and

mild setups rather than excessively "hot" 3-D setups.

Warning

Do not run R/C car-type "Speed 540" brushed motors (Atomic Force, Fusion 7,

etc) on more than 8 cells. Most R/C car motors are not designed for more than 8

cells, and running them with more cells will kill the motor after only a few flights.
