I've run one on 12s. Do the math on the volts/amps. 70 amps at 12s is about 3000 watts. Matches perfectly with a T600 880kv outrunner. Go SMALL on the prop. 38-40mm and have fun. I love my 12s apparition.
If you use less voltage, you will draw more amps and go up in smoke. Keep the cell count high and kv low. On 8s, you'll only get about 2000 watts for your 80 amps...
Also, 3000 watts is about 4hp. Plenty to move a mid-small sized cat.

Since you're running a small boat. Here's an idea.
I just set the NAMBA 2-lap S sport record a couple weeks ago with m 25" DarkHorse Picklefork running 8S 3800's, a Scorpion HK3026-1210 and a CC Ice 100. 38mm prop. All the equipment was cold after the run. 25.5 seconds. Only used 660 mah.
Put 6S in it and changed the prop then set the Q sport record.
That little Ice is pretty tough and it has data logging so you an actually see what everything is doing.
I wouldn't use it on the 1518, but the 36mm outrunners should work prety well with it.
