Not really IMHO...I say that because when you up the voltage by going to a 5-cell pack you do the following: 1) Over-stress the equipment when using a freshly charged pack. A 5-cell pack, freshly charged, puts out almost 7 volts. 2) Increase the current draw of the equipment resulting in less flying time 3) Increase the speed/torque but you also decrease the life expectancy of your servos 4) Some equipment seems to get a little "nervous" on 5-cells yet is fine on a standard 4-cell pack
My question would be WHY? If you want more speed/torque the best way to get it is to upgrade the servos. That's my $.02 FWIW Sheldon YNT uDesign You Need This!
