    what voltage to use on Genesis cat & 41"DF

    What is the Max voltage on a couple of stock artr boats for short burst runs. First is a Genesis cat 37" long with 2270kv motor with Hobbywing seaking 120amp esc with bec. Also 41" DF type mono with Leopard 2000kv motor with Hobbywing seaking 120amp esc with bec. Want to run them stock to see what they will do before changing out the motors and esc. Is 4s going to be the max or will they take 5s Thanks.

    4s is the max with those 120 amp escs..... with 180 amp esc's you could go 5s.... but 5s with any real size prop (that the boat should have) will make her go poof with the listed 120 amp speedos....
