1st lipo experience

[Rex R]

took my new N2(lipo)* boat out to the pond today(sorry no pics)...not sure what I was expecting but no dramatics. boat ran much like I would have expected a GOOD set of nimhs to perform. except; I left the charger at home, the lipos had been charged a few weeks ago, and there was little drop in perfomance till after roughly a mile and a half! was nice to just plug and go(and bring the boat in for adjustments) w/o having to repeak every time.
I do echo the suggestion/recomendation of; set your LVC no lower than 3.1v per cell.
*running a 2s2p set of 4k mah lipos.

Rex what about proping up? Thanks for sharing. What manufacturer did you go with?

proping up; well was trying to free up the hull...by the time I tryed more prop the packs were done for the day. went with 'max amps'(not the current offering, one offering back) cells. if you're asking about the hull, its a 'delta force 12'. got to wait till after mothers day to try a bigger prop(some sort of fishing thing next weekend). also have to adjust rudder throw, seemed like I had only to look at the wheel and the boat was turning :)
