I got the 11.1 8400 mah 25C batteries last week and I wanted to try these things out for a while, but I was unable to due to the weather we've been having this past week. (I also realized that the batteries are wired in series, so I'm running 6s). So, I get the boat in the pond and I'm blazing back and forth and I hear this horrible noise! Sure enough, the tightening nut on the end of the motor had somehow contacted the brass stuffing tube! It had heated it up to the point it was blue and melted the radio tray!!!! Anyway, I managed to get a dremel and cut off some of the stuffing tube and I clipped about 3 inches of the nylon to get the prop to work again. Crazy, huh?
