          Cool cool (:
          When could I get some mounts to fit inside the hull?

              Could I go 8s? 4s to each side?

                The "s" in 8s or 4s stands for "series"...that might clear up any confusion you may run into in this build.

                  Well I know that.. What I'm saying is if the esc can 6s maximum why not have 4-6s to each esc instead of 3s?

                  This is a SAW boat anyway?

                    Now Im confused...if you already knew that...then that means you are planning on running 8 lipo cells in series? What were you talking about 8s?...you said something about 4s per side so I assumed you just didnt know the difference. Were you considering an actual 8s setup?

                      Should I say 4c to each side for 4 cell lipo?

                      I'm saying if I power a 4 cell lipo to each 200amp swordy then technically wouldnt that be a 8 cell setup?

                      I could even go 12 cell?!

                        If you ran 4s to each esc, that would be 8 *CELLS* total...but not not 8s. Thats what I was saying in the first post I wrote. 8s means the cells are in series, meaning you are running at a nominal voltage of 29.6 volts. Your suggested setup would be a 4s setup, because you would be running 14.8v (4 lipo cells in series). For example, 6s2p means a total of 12 cells, but its still a 6s setup.

                        The confusion here is the reason I posted in the first place. I wanted to help make sure you didnt have people advising you on a 30v setup when you are only running 15volts.

                        Now that thats out of the way, most people run 4s maybe 5s on the 6s rated escs. They can be ran on 6s, but most people avoid running an esc at its max rating to prevent premature failure.

                          How much speed would I get out of a 4s2p setup?
                          (technically I think 8s)

                          and how much more speed I would get out of a 5s2p setup?
                          (again, technically I think 10s)

                            As stated before...................4s2p is not 8s. Its 4 series, 2 parallel which is 4 x 4.2v = 16.8v. Two sets of 4s batts, so your mah is doubled.......not the voltage.

                              Thanks Make-A-Wake!

                              back to my original question:

                              How much speed would I get out of a 4s2p setup?

                              and how much more speed I would get out of a 5s2p setup?

                              Also, Will I need carbon-fiber reinforcement? I found this...


                              P.S. Thread continued on next page...

                                What motor/motors are you referring to in these setups................5 or 6 different motors have been tossed around on this thread.
