When you want to put a hot aftermarket motor in the car, then worry about FET's.
I'm sorry that this is irrelivant to the topic, but...
You're saying that I can't put in...say an atomicmods pro poly (10C) on a stock EVO board?! I thought you could......(they're 7.4V and you say that it can't handle more than 7.2V)...(not saying you're wrong, I'm questioning)

You don't need a poll for a straight up yes or no answer, do you? :wink:

Re: fried electronics
Nope, you are safe with that setup. The FETs will only burn out if you are using a motor that is too hot.

stock evo
i was wondering if it is safe to run 6 cells on a 100% stock xmod evo car will it fry anything using the 1.2 volt recharge type ni-mh or do i just have to keep a eye on the temp of the stock stage 1 motor to keep from frying my FETS or my board... and even when keeping a look out on the motor temps this kills the life of the motor dont it

Li-ion batteries are 3.6V usually, thats where we get 7.2V. If your cells specs say thay are 3.7V, the extra 2 10ths will not make a difference.
Basically do not use more than 6 Ni-MH cells, or 2 Li-ion or Li-poly cells unless you have a power management board that restricts voltage to the electronics.
The cars were designed to run 6 volts. We can push this some because the electrinics can handle a little more than this, but doing so may reduce the life of the board.
Some people have gotten away with running 9V, for a little while. :)
