I am using the stock 12v nmih pack and a tamiya esc to limit the voltage to the pump. I have it setup so that the maximum voltage out of the esc is about 8.3 volts (tricked the esc programing into thinking full throttle isn't 100%) that way the pump is always running at the best rpm when any of the hydraulic sticks are at full throw.
