Esc ratings/battery ratings

Mason................your COG needs to be addressed before you start permanently installing items. Looks like the motor is already in, so the servo, ESC, and Battery will need to be used to give you a COG in the 28-30% range. The COG is the center of gravity. You set the hull on a dowel or broomstick and where it balances is your COG, with hardware you need to shoot for 28-30% or roughly 6.5" from the transom.

Here's a refresher of #444

Now we need to address the lipo..............its tiny. Its putting out 45 amps continuous and will most likely be very taxed. The ideal size for that hull would be a 3000-4000mah 30c 3s.

My friend has a venom 3s 4000 i think he runs in his slash. I could ask to borrow that..


And why no 5s!! This thing would RIPPP...:-]O_O

[srislash]

I assessed my battery situation and I can't really spare any.Not that I would feel good about handing over anyway.

[masonis1]

Huh? I can order one off hobbyking probably. Any in mind?

[srislash]

I'm partial to Skylipo from HobbyPartz Something in the 4000 -4400 mah range would be good.Let me go look.
Something like this http://www.hobbypartz.com/77p-sl4000-3s1p-40c-3333.html or this http://www.hobbypartz.com/77p-sl3300-3s1p-40c-3333.html

Ok. I will try comparing some prices when i can get on my computer and check it out. My wallet likes the 24 bucks lipo but my mind is saying i should get the 4000 cuz i can then run it for my rc10, the boat, and for my beast, i could turn the timing way up and turn all my settings up to get the power of the 5s....
