Lizard is definately a green anole. They are all over here in south Louisiana. .......Great build also!

Thanks T! Here are the pictures:

Where do you get those lipo cells from your earlier posts?

Also, check out my old and abused data logger. When one of my Turnigys burned, the logger's internal voltage regulator died as well. So it would only work from USB power. I soldered LM7805 to it, a 5 volt regulator IC across USB +5v power pins and fed it from 9 volt battery. This gave this Eagle Tree logger a new lease on life.

Anton, are you going to sharpen that prop of yours?

[AntronX]

Should I ? It runs fine. Maybe you mean when will I polish it to a mirror shine?

[Ub Hauled]

it runs easier with a sharpened and balanced prop... perhaps even detongued...

[AntronX]

I definitely balance my props before running them. It is sharpened, but not razor sharp. I tried detongueing before and all it produced was less speed.

Ran it today at full throttle continuously. Caps went up to 120F, not bad at all, but that was full throttle run. Will check how hot they get with 30 - 70% throttle run. Batteries were 137F by the time i got to measure them with IR temp gauge. They probably were 140 - 150F internally. That's not good at all, because amp draw was 90A average - a far cry from advertised 150A continuous. I will have to come up with lightweight water cooling plates for them. If i manage to knock that temp. down to 120 - 130F that would be great. Run time was 3 minutes 24 seconds before low voltage cutoff started to pull the throttle back, but i was still able to easily bring the boat back slowly.

Ran boat part throttle, caps temperature peaked at 122F. Not much different from full throttle, which is great. Ran again with temp. sensor under battery heat shrink, reading peaked at 151F
BTW, who can tell me how many laps I ran looking at my graph below?

What lake do you run at? I wanna come watch the fireworks.... :p j/k

No, there won't be any more of those. I run at this Lake.
