P Limited Offshore Setup - Lucas Oil

[Fluid]

You can’t run 2S in P Limited class nor would you want to - amp draw would be double that of your competitors. My Motley Crew sprint setup is a ProBoat 1500 Kv motor with an x447 or x450 prop on 4S1P/5000 mAh, great in rougher water. That setup uses about 2750 mAh in a 6 lap heat. For a faster setup on smoother water I’ve run the AQ1800 motor with an m445, that used ~2500 mAh for 6 laps plus mill. For a four-minute heat you’ll want at least 6600 mAh and a slightly smaller prop, offshore has lower average speeds and a lot more acceleration, which pulls a lot more amps.

Thanks. I was trying to see if I could setup a 2,2s setup for offshore, not just a 2s. It looks like 4s is the way to go, however. Thanks for the info.

How do you know how much mah was used? Watch the next charge?

Thanks again.

Yes. Keep a record of the amount of mah to recharge. Always run the boat on fully recharged batteries so you can keep track of this critical parameter.

Thank you!

Anyone try a 1715-17-45%?

Get yourself one of these.... Shows you the total voltage, voltage of each cell and a percentage of mAh left.
Offshore is out of stock, but also here's a link to an eBay seller.

This got lost in my endless battery questions and wanted to see if anyone has tried a 1715-17-45%?

Thanks all!

Finally starting on the boat. Couple of questions:

Does the strut have a bushing in it already? I didn't buy the OSE strut bushing as it seems there is something there, but wanted to confirm.

I bought the OSE replacement flexshaft already and typically didn't run a liner with a strut bushing in my nitro boats. Do I need the teflon liner for any reason? Doesn't seem like it would fit anyway.

Lastly, did anyone change the screws on the motor mount? Those hex heads are bound to strip. And again, if so, what size screws are they?

Thanks!
