Re: 12 Volt?
I first switch to 12v 15yrs ago b/c I could get a motor about 1/3rd the speed of anything in 7.2v class.
I stuck with 12v b/c everything I have is on that voltage making it easy to swap batteries from one to the next.
The power is good, but there is getting to be some good brushless motors out there with more power, greater efficiently and smoother control over brushed motors that can be used in 7.2v.
Lipo packs are the better choice nowadays for batteries for both even power consumption & space savings. 2s 8.4V for 7.2v class is perfect vs 3s 12.6v for 12v motors is too low for good performance.
