UL 1 Battery

[davidb]

I just picked up a UL 1 today and have had a supervee before. These forums have been very helpful. I dont race, just go fast. Could someone tell me what lipo to buy please. I am on a buget !
Thanks dave

turnigy 5000 2s 40c, use two of these in series.

[davidb]

Steve, thankyou. Best place to buy is where? Also good all around metal prop? I dont race!

25c will be plenty as well. www.hobbyking.com a octura x440/3 is an excellent all around prop.

25c or 35 or 40c. Does it matter with these batteries? Maybe it is a stupid question but? Will all of these batteries fit?

It's the discharge rate. A 40c will perform better than a lower rate. To make it easy on youself stick to 4000mah+ and 25c+ and you'll be ok.

All the batteries I have listed will fit. I own/use most of them in my ul.

Buy the largest capicity (up to 5000 mah) and the highest "C" rating your willing to spend.

25C = Good
35C = Better
40C = Best

3700mah = Good
4000mah = Better
5000mah(+) = Best

I think you get the idea... Always keep an eye on those temps during long runs.

This is one of those cases where you rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. Point being the esc will use as amps as it needs from the battery. Amp rating on the esc is continuaous amount of amps from the motor the esc can handle, not the batteries. For batteries more amps the batts can provide the better, it's less straining on the electrics. Hopefully that makes sense. Welcome to boating!

I like the Grim l40x57, it's a lifter prop though so your stuck using it on hydros only.

Thanks, honestly it's only slightly faster than the stock set-up. I have A LOT of work to do on it and a lot of prop testing to do.

40c is not needed. My UL-1 has reached speeds of 50mph using 25c Hyperion lipos. These compact Hyperion 25c 2s 5000mah packs are perfect size, but more expensive.
