2s2p lipos
in race water on an x435 and virtually no test time/setup by eyeball was running in the top 3 of a field of 6. motor was 115F after 6laps(I cut a buoy), 2nd run was quickerfinished 2nd :). could it go faster on my budget set-up...er possibly I'm getting indications that the esc is starting to have to work 120-125F definatly needs some strut/trim tab adjusting was starting to get 'squirrely' mid straights (1/8th mile course) think I would call this a good starting point. would suggest getting a 120amp(or better) esc though. oh and the standard 'non-smelly' epoxy makes a nice hull cleaner.
