I've run into a heating issue with a Lipo battery and I'm wondering if it is the battery or the set-up. I'm running a Mini-X (26") with a UL-1 Motor and ESC, prop is the stock SV-27 3 blade - the boat seems to like this prop (have tried others). I;m averaging about 54 amps, one spike at 75. Motor and ESC were less than 100F and the battery was at 145F. I was using a single Rhino 4S2P 4000 Mah, 25C. When I run pairs (2S2P 4000 to 5000) I don't seem to have the problem. Any ideas on what may be causing the heating?
Also, I'm looking at changing the motor in my 31" Challenger from a 12XL to a 1521 1Y or 1520 1Y; 4s to 6S, either and etti 150 w/cap board or a Swordfish 120. Will this set-up work?
Thanks all
