    How warm should lipos be after a run

    I am running a stock proboat impulse with stock prop. I am running some 25c 4000 mah 2s lipos. I run them for about a 4 min. run before the lvc kicks in. The motor and esc are coming off around 90 and the batteries come off between 105-120. I know some better lipos are need but is there anything else I can do? Voltages of all cells where around 3.7

    Those temps are fine. Higher c rating may lower the temps but not much.
    white geico w/2200kv 3674 leopard 53.5mph 4s2p, geico w/ 1800kv outrunner 52mph on 4s2p, genesis w/2200kv castle 53.8 on 4s2p, impulse 31 w/2200kv castle, stock p1 and ul-1

      Warm them prior to running...about 100-105 degrees. Youll see a difference in the performance of the boat. But, yes, higher c rating would help. Btw, heating the packs doesnt make up for anything, so dont take that tip as that. Try a couple GensAce 2s 5000 40c packs.

          I would not want my LiPo to ever be above 140*F, particularly a budget variety pack.
