So I have one of the newer V5's with the latest V2 electronics I believe.

Is my ESC this model here?

If so, on the bottom of that page in the specs it says 6V or 8.4V (user selectable). But in my V5 manual it only states 6V or 7.4V. I know there is some confusion because Arrma started rolling updated electronics out with the new production 6s V5's. Just curious if my setup can do the 8.4V, but the manual is just still outdated. The manual says default is 7.4V so maybe mine is currently running a default of 8.4V.
 
My 150a V1 states the same thing. The website shows 8.4v possible but the manual shows its not available & set to 7.4v. Why? Dunno. I run a HV 40kg but it's rated that kg at 8.4v so it's actually running at 35kg. Figured that out after I put the servo in. V2 maybe completely different.

That is the 8s esc in your link you have this one https://www.arrma-rc.com/en/product...smart-esc-v2-3s---6s-dual-ic5/SPMXSE2150.html
