36inch twin cat build

[rcboatfan]

would 2300mah be enough for this hull?

[Jesse J]

nope.

what motors and what speeds do you want?

[rcboatfan]

feigao 12xl's , and i would like to see like mid 50ish mph

[rcboatfan]

i dont got the batteries yet so i want to get ones that will work well

[lomdel]

For 12XL's you could use 6S or 5S lipo's 5000mah 25C. That should get you close to 50(ish). Depends on the prop selection...

[Jesse J]

totally agree with Lomdel. I would get three pairs: 2S, 3S and 4S Rhino packs 4900 mah (cost you maybe $275) then you would have alllllll the possibilities.

Your only props available are X442s and X447s... 442s are plenty and on 6S will scream!!!

[rcboatfan]

and if i get lipos i want to know how to properley take care of them and how to strore them because i dont like the fact of bowing up my house

[Jesse J]

Just keep em balanced and risk is way low. Get a cell meter to know how much gas you have in the tank (so you don't ever overdischarge them) and a charger that balances and you should be fine.

so $500 later, you have a cat moving 50. I like a variety of voltages for versatility required by changing water conditions. And sometimes I don't want full throttle to be insanely fast.

[rcboatfan]

i already have a balance charger so im already one step ahead and would i need two lvc's because there are two batteries and two esc's?

[rcboatfan]

or does do the esc's have that buit in?

[rcboatfan]

got some skin on her

[ace028]

[rcboatfan]

[Jesse J]
