if you combine the 700 class motor with a beefy esc and gear setup, you'll prolly even be able to get away with using 4000 mah lipos on a 12s setup for more flight time.

I'm running 12s 3300 packs on a 700mx, hobbywing 70hv, and vbar gov on rail 606 mains. It is literally unboggable at 13 degrees pitch at around 2150. Big time overkill...but big time fun...especially when I hit idle up 2 at 2300 rpm.

Awesome, what flight.times do u get with that setup?

I'm still flying fairly cautiously as I've got a vibration I can't track down. But on fairly aggressive flights I get about 5:30 and land at 3.79/3.8v per cell.
