I am running 4s2p 5000 mah packs (10000mah) in a 26" r2hobbies hydro hull with a Feigao 540 8XL motor running a 40x55 grim racer prop with a LV Hydra 240.
To measure amps I use an eagle tree micro logger V3 and due to the cable set up on the hydra I can only hook up to one of the two packs for a reading. I saw 58 peak amps using the LCD screen readout .
So...am I drawing 58 amps total or 116 amps ?? I asked the guys at the pond and got conflicting answers ....I believe I am drawing 116 amps but at least one opinion was that since they are parallel that the 58 amps was all the esc was seeing.
thanks
Steve
