instead of new batts have you tried propping up ?

Be carefull using batteries from different manufacturers at the same time. The numbers on the packs may be the same but there is a good chance they are different on the inside. That could mean trouble.

Im going to try m445 prop what should i watch for heat on the batteries and motor?

[tim v]

motor esc batts connections... take it for a quick blast then check it...

[karlhh]

what temps are to high?

[Boaterguy]

if you don't have a thermometer, do the "5 seconnd" (i usually use indefinitely) test.
if you do not feel comfortable holding on to the motor/ esc or batts for a significant quantity of time, they are too hot.
if you have a way to test the exact temps let us know and we can tell you.

[karlhh]

Yes I have a thermal gun that uses laser.

[Boaterguy]

everything should stay under 120-140F, if something is higher, you need to prop down or change something.
