northerboater......... how were the temps with your setup..........i run a 8xl on 14 cells in a 30" bandit cat with a x438 and i think im getting similar speeds but after about 3-4 min i bring it in........temps get hott but not tooooo hot......just trying to make my equipment last long........... should i try the prop your running

[NorthernBoater]

I would not run that prop normaly. I just wanted to see what kind of speeds I could get with it. With the m645 my temps for the motor was about 155. I have had good results with the m645 on my mono but I lost that prop. When I ran with the x640 it did mid 40s and the temps were around 125.

Congrats Northern Boater!!! If you need more weight put 2p in the bad boy!

i want to run lipo but i dont know a damn thing about it and arent they real dangerous

I look at LiPos like I did my American Pit Bull Terrier before my son was born.
Although BANDIT (I still miss him) never acted as though he harm anyone, I just couldn't take a chance on the what ifs. So I gave him away.

I treat my LiPos with respect. I charge them with good equipment and make sure I don't over discharge them.
They are charged and transported in a scientific oven packed in a way they will suffer no trama. Overkill I know, but I can't take a chance on the what ifs.
If an accident happens, I want to know I did all I could to protect lives and property, both of them mine. LOL
I love them!! They are running cool in setups that would melt NiMH.
Educate yourself and employ good common sense.
My two cents, from the dark side,

Educate yourself and employ good common sense

Words to live by.
If you think about it a friggin toaster oven can burn the house down if used improperly...lol. I realize there is more of an inherent danger with these batteries. I have come around and am prepared and unafraid. It's just the money..and wow..What a chunk it's going to take.
