Lipo question for SV ESC, coupe other questions too

[z400]

Well i bought Doby's dual SV powered Super Hawaii


im going to be running Lipo's on it.
Its got stock SV motors, Stock SV ESC's, and 2 Stock SV Props

am wondering what size lipo's i can run with each controller.

I ran a search and didnt find any helpful info


im going to be doing some experimenting with the props.
anything i should stay away from as far as sizes go?

Im just now getting into the FE scene, so i'll be asking quite a few
questions more then likely.


i'll be needing help with amp draw and such, will need to make sure i dont
push the ESC's to their limits or past their limits.

Eventually i would like the upgrade the 2 motors and the 2 ESC's to something a bit faster.

i dont think the hull will be able to take much more MPH, but i would like to squeeze every bit of MPH out of it that i can



thanks for the help

Alright, so i did some researching..

i can run 14 cells with BEC on 1 ESC, or i can run 2x 7.4v lipos on 1 ESC or 4 cell lipos in parallel.


what are my limits to voltages as far as lipos go.

i would much rather just run 2 lipos, 1 for each ESC, 14.4v is what i would like.
maybe there is a higher voltage lipo that will work with the ESC.


im here to learn. help me out lol

Hi Sean;
4S is the max, at 5S you are above the rated voltage of the controllers.
The controllers are wired together so you could run 2 2S packs in series, or you run one 4S pack with a jumper (I'll throw one in the box when I ship it) to on one of the deans connectors to continue the circuit. Option 3 is running 2 4S packs in parallel giving you the same voltage as one 4S pack, but double the run time. For that you would need a parallel adapter. I have not used this one, but it should work nicely. Product ID: dh-gpmm3142. I have my own homemade one.

There is room for 2 4S packs and the boat seems to like the added weight.

thats what i wanted ot hear about the 2 4s packs.


thanks for the reply Doby!

cant wait to get the boat in my hands!
i need to buy my lipos and pick up another balancer

ah i cant wait for the Super Hawaii to arrive!

I'll be shipping it out by the end of the week. I have to get a decent size box, lots of foam chips etc.

Alrighty sounds great.


yeah pack it well.
its going to be taking on quite a journey to Illinois
