scat dat 32 lipo

[stephenszj]

I have a scat cat 32 by bby. It has the older hydro 240, neu 1521 1.5d. I have been running 18 4200in this with a octura x 445. It only reaches 130 after 3 min runs. batteries get to 175. Thats way to hot. My question is what kind of lipo can I run? My understanding is the hydro 240 cant handle a 6 s. I think a 5s around 4000 would work fine. Has anyone run a simaliar set up? What kind of speed gains can I expect with a 5s around 4000 with a max amp draw of 240. What kind of lipo? how big? how many cells? 1 or 2 lipo? will lipos let me run longer

KV is 1900
4S1P 5000s or better 2P
5s would be 32,500 rpm , pretty hot set up

you can do 5s, i would be completely comfortable with that setup
its a D wind do it pulls amps.
use the biggest batteries you can afford

D wind pulls more amps then a Y wind. A simpistic explaination. A D wind is wound in parallel. less resistance, more amps .
A Y wind is wound in series . more resistance less amps .

yeah sorry. i had a late night last night so i wasn't all together

thanks. If i got a 5s around 4200 that puts out 240 max amps will this keep my battery temps down? Will i go faster? should i change props to a smaller prop? with more amps going to the motor?
