Help 4s in a 3s hypergo

[earlspromaxracing]

We have a 3s lipo battery in the hiper go would like to put a 4s battery in it they seem faster like when a 3s is installed in a 2s ...
Would the 4s burn the 3s system out
Thanks

You will have to look at the specs in your user manual.
A bigger battery will also put more stress on the drive train, so be prepared to break parts.
Keep in mind, we are all going to push stuff to it's limits so we are all kid at heart.

If the esc and motor can handle 4s, go for it.
But if it don't, don't.

I think @Tunedfrog and @DavidB1126 are correct. You can do it if the esc will handle the power and the motor can handle the RPMs
The real issue will be if the plastic can take the stress the tge motor will put on and the additional impact force from higher speed collisions.
When I was 3s ing my little DeeRC, I found it was only feasible to do on the long, open street. Not enough room to use the extra power in my driveway. Each crash was pretty bad.

you WILL get the white smoke! unless youve changed your esc. hypergo and hbx use low amp esc, i fried 2 trucks this way. it will go for a min then youll get the ozone smoke and it will die. this is what happened to me anyways
