It’s technically possible but comes with such a large fire risk that it’s not recommended
A BMS and a charger are cheap.
There isn’t anything wrong with 8S though, it will work just fine. Using this ESC is kind-of like buying a Lamborghini for a 15mph (24km/h) stroll though.
Will try that thanks are they both sopposed to be flashing at the same time? I’m sure they did when I first got it, powered it up yesterday and one wasn’t flashing I’ve not even connected anything to it just power that’s it.
No issues, I dont love the remote tho. It seems to me no matter how low I set the dead-end, this remote still had a really big dead band. Has anyone else had an issue with this?
