I just bought gophers H8 and it has an AE xps ESC which cant hold 9.6 volts apparently. Which battery would you recommend then? I though all batteries ran off 9.6 volts. Does this mean that i'll have to get a special charger??
Thanks

Some of the guys here run 9.6 with that speed control and have stated it works with no issues. As far as a charger....you need one that can handle 8 cells and does a 1-2 amp charge. If you decide you do not want to chance running on 9.6v (8 cells) you can get a 8.4 v pack(7 cells) made or make one yourself.

On one of my H8s I have that charger and I run it with a 9.6volt URC pack and have no problems whatsoever. Only thing I had to do was reverse the throttle on my Futaba 3PK controller.

Where is the best place to get a battery made up with 7 cells? IS there anyone from this site that does it?
