I've never tried them at 7.4v, but I can tell you at 6v I've had quite a few picos strip gears, so even if they would work at 7.4v, they'd likely strip even more

That aside, Pico's are very easy to speedhack, and with small wheels the speed is good, but you have absolutely no torque. A good choice if your on a limited budget and want something fast with small wheels, but are fathoms behind a pair of sanyo-size motors in terms of performance

i've used them in DBA at 6v, not problems with blowing up/stripping gears

tried them at 7,4v in other robots, will blow.

Josh, if I remember I'll bring along and give you my voltage regulator 'kits' which will bring you down to 6v.
