You can do throttle control for brushless speed controls with a servo tester. That would be cool, having a power control on a dial on the side of the blaster.

I'm with this guy! A servo controller is all you would need, considering you use the same size/brand of motor/ESC.

As far as not interrupting power to ESC while not wanting motors revved up, I'd say find a good speed with the servo controller then place the rev switch on the red wire coming off the ESC (The power source for the servo tester) And if that won't work maybe place the rev switch on the black or white wires so the servo tester stays on, but you interrupt it's communication to the ESC...

Went the super lazy way with this over volted stryfe, Found an old nimh battery lying around and some extra deans connetors. So instead of tring to figure out how to get this guy to fit, I just velcroed it to the outside of the battery lid  . I know not very pretty, but I want to do a side by side comparison of voltage drops compared to the other stock stryfe with a lipo!

Just a heads up that the stock motors have metal brushes and a tendency to burn up on 3S, so you may want to stick to 2S unless/until you want to invest in new motors.

 

Otherwise, have fun guy!

Thank you! It's my girlfriends stryfe so 2s is fine by me for the time being, as I'm the one getting shot by it now.

I'll search the forums, but want to ask if there is any way to improve accuracy? My hammershot is great for target practice, but the 2s stryfe zips um left, right, center, then right again...

Hey hey guys, look what I found lying around the old RC pile...

Nope no built in cutoff, I monitor voltage with multiple testers. Yes you are all correct with the "Treat you lipos like a woman on the rag" scenario, I am removing more plastic to make her more 'comfortable' haha. I'd say I'm on the safe side considering I race 1/8 scale 4x4 RC buggies that jump 30 plus feet and wreck and slam into walls and such with a soft case lipo. Only had one lipo puff up on me because I was not careful soldering and I touched the negative to positive on accident. I also remove all lipos from the vehicle/blaster when not in use and store them at half charge (7.6-7.8 volts) in an air tight metal ammo container! I also charge them on a piece of glass, the one that puffed up on me eventually failed, luckily on the glass so It didn't burn a hole through the counter! sure left a bad smell in the house though! Lipo batteries do not like being over 4.2 volts per cell. They also don't like being to low, I have stressed some of my racing batteries to about 2.6 volts per cell and that is not good. I don't plan on draining this one that low, and honestly after a days worth of shooting up all my friends (may have lost a few) it's only lost .4 volts! That's sweet! It may be a 1300 mah or somewhere around there. As for the super stryfe, I Didn't plan on going 3s so I believe I'm safe with using stock internals? As a 2s lipo is 8.4 volts. I didn't even open the thing to bypass the thermal thingy.

I do appreciate the comments on a better connector/wires throughout. Lord knows I have the materials. Every other battery I have is deans. 

I think my lipo is a 1000 mah or so, no way to test FPS for now but it zings them foams along just fine.
