Well due to running twin motors, and the space requirements, I think I am going to have to use a larger mAh single battery, I found a venom 4000mah battery that should fit the power requrement for both batteries.

I plan on ordering it, what do you think? Now what sort of connections should I run? I see that no one likes deans, do you think I am out of the amp range for the deans with this? It may make for a cleaner setup to use bullets anyways, thoughts on connector size?

[peells]

Your motors wont be pulling that many amps, your esc's are only 30 amp you should be just fine, remember I was using 2-3s at 1450 amps each in parallel works great

[peells]

yep that thing will make that little boat haul freight (dont forget to re polish out your props a little tarnished)

[ace028]

Just ordered the venom 4000mah 3s lipo, that will be enough mAh for both motors/esc's and have some run time on them, hoping they don't overheat, once I run it I will bring in after 1 min to temp checking.

I am I made an adjustment on the battery position on mine and aI am going to be posting a new video later tonight. my cat it is really fast now! It was really turning heads yesterday before the fireworks

[ace028]

Cool, I will be looking forward to seeing it. I'm almost afraid to run mine in fear the esc's are gonig to catch on fire, they shouldn't though. Too bad you don't have a temp guage to see how hot stuff is running, once I get mine going I am going to do the 1 min run and temp check drill. What is the kV on your motors again?

[peells]

3200kv, Alex took a video for me it is the longest one

[peells]

Go get it wet and quit making excuses it's finished man no shelf queens allowed we build the boat we drive the boat we get a video of the boat and then we do it again!!! No hitting the bank dont let the dog bite it ect... Lol

[ace028]

One of these days I'll throw this bad boy back in the water. Not really any water over here in the sandbox though.

After all these years of collecting dust on the shelf it lives:

Here is it in the water. I think a little more work to it and it will be golden.

Nice!!! looks like a lot of fun there.

[srislash]

That thing is zooming. Great job

[ace028]

Thanks, was a lot of fun. I think with some tweaking we can get some more speed out of it. I’ll need new escs tho. Are the mystery escs any better than from 10years ago? Or are they the same?

[srislash]

Pretty sure they are the same Suppo ESCs. Check HobbyKing. Ten shock has a nice little one but I think $$. I just put a 30amp HobbyKing in my minimono.
