Just out of curiosity, is there any problem with running the GTB 4 cell, with the 3200 Orion pack? I swapped my 6 cell version for a 4 cell, and now I'm thinking I should have kept the 6 cell.

The insides are no different from the original version. The profiles are tweaked, the heatsink is gone and it has 16 AWG wire. I haven't heard any of the lipo guys mentioning speedo thermaling issues, so I don't think the lack of heatsink will be an issue. jdearhart 10-28-2007, 08:52 PM I guess my question was more along the lines of voltage? 4 cell being 4.8 and the lipo being 7.4. I know the 4 cell GTB doesn't have the lipo cutoff though. Roadsplat 10-28-2007, 09:54 PM I think as pmsimkins sates...the inside is no different than the Original GTB. If you are going to run 6 cell you should replace the 16 gauge wire with 12 or 14 gauge. Not sure if I would run it in a touring car or offroad without the heatsink and the lipo, but I have run mine in the pan car without the big heatsink and the temp of the ESC never exceeded 85 degrees. But to answer your question, from what I have been told it will handle the 6 cell voltage just fine.
