Battery VS Boat speed

[jbyers]

Headed to the lake today at 1pm. I made up a parallel connector to run three batteries. That should give a conclusive result as to the batteries being the problem. It should add another potential 90 amps to the output with a potential total of 270 amps. Even with cheap batteries I should hit 160 or so. It will also throw the CG a bit farther towards the back but I dont think that was the problem. Ill keep you posted.

Get some video's and temps,
Also some pictures of your whole setup with hardware to.
And you should be using 5.5 bullets on your whole setup and cell packs to.

Boat ran incredibly fast for about 25 seconds. Then it dropped back to the normal speed it runs on 2 batteries. Although the time was short it ran faster then it ever has before. Im still on track to say the batteries are cutting out. Seems I got the burst amperage then it died off. I have ordered two 65C 4400mha batteries to run in it and as soon as they come in Ill try and update the forum. Ill also try and get photos and video posted. Thanks for all the input.

Common problem on the 180a esc lvc cutting in to early, most switch the lvc off & time run times.

I read some where on hear that if you do that a couple of time and go through the setting,
Sometimes the lv will start working better and not be so sensitive any more.

I have had a programmer on order from HK for the 180amp for several weeks. maybe someday they will see fit to ship it to me

The sea king program card is the same one as turnigy program card,
They work on all esc from the 25a up to the 180a.

And all the same for boat/car/plane. ;-)
