Back in my early corporate career I was a microwave RF design engineer and have given many a Sqawker sound electrical advice here and will be glad to assist you if you clearly state your issue.
With best regards,Warbird Charlie

A "series" adapter connects two batteries in a series which doubles their voltage (two 4S 14.4V to one 8S 28.8V ESC) but you can't split the voltage of a single battery.Warbird Charlie

It's going to be tough to fit a single larger 4S pack in this bird. Not because there's not enough room, but because your only choice for positioning is in the rear battery compartment. The front battery tray cannot be modified as it also serves as the housing for the nose retract system. Getting the proper CG by using a single pack will be challenging, but I'd like to see someone make it work!Pat

Originally posted by lpcustom73 View PostCan the Tigercat be run on the same 6 cell adapter available for the P 38, This adapter is a parallel adapter, which provides approximately 3 cells to each motor....... less voltage overall.
For the P-38, many of us are using a larger single 4S lipo, and we use a special adapter that allows us to hook both ESC leads to the single lipo pack, but we are still only using 4S. For example, instead of using 2 4S 3600 or 4000 packs, I use a single 4S 6200 pack for my P-38, so in essence I'm using "two" 4S 3100 packs, and the adapter I use is just like this:
https://www.motionrc.com/collections...el-esc-adapter
This plug lets me plug the single lead from my lipo into both of the ESC leads so that the single pack is supplying power to both ESCs simultaneously. It does not split the lipo into two 2S packs, one for each motor, it just splits the power leads so that both are sharing the same 14.8v from the pack.
Now for the Tigercat, like I stated above it will be tough to use a single larger 4S pack to power both ESCs. However, if you can find a lipo that fits and can still make CG, then the principle used for the P-38 will apply the same for the Tigercat.Pat
