Sv27 ? Lipo ?

[BIGDG357]

i have had my supervee 27 for about 1 1/2 years now . i have also recently purchased a UL-1 which i am having nothing but trouble with , but any way i have thrown alot of cash into this hobby in the last few weeks along with these purchases were 2 sets of lipos (2 5000's and 2 5200's) and a hyperion duo charger.I would like to use these for the SV27 since it looks like i'll never run them in the UL-1 but my question is besides a lipo shield unit what else will i need to convert the SV27 to LI-PO. Oh and i plan to put a Tactic 2.4 RX in the SV27 also if this would make any difference. Thanks Nick

You don't need anything to run lipos on a sv. just time your runs and with the duo you just got keep track on the Mah you put in the lipos and go from there. just stay above 70% of the Mah of the bat.

Alright thanks ,what benefit would i have with the lipo shield if any and also someone told me that the bec has to be disabled how true is this and why would it have to be ,still learning and just trying to suck up some info thanks

The lipo shield is just a safety thing. just cuts of power at a certain volt. I don't use one. actually my hydra 120 has one but i have never hit it. you don't have to disable the bec on the sv esc on 4s. your esc will run cooler if you do. i run all my stuff with an external bec or you can use a rx pack.

Im trying to run the same set up, but how long would the lipo run for before I should shut it down?

[BIGDG357]

I am wondering the same as fastxturtle and is there anything I can put in the boat to let me know when its close or will i have to make a few laps and pull it in to hook it back to the charger to monitor the MAH drain and on the same note would I have to do this with my UL-1 even though it has low low voltage cut off

just buy a lipo sheild fellas. I run one in mine and it cuts the throttle out, then bring her back in and recharge. I have 4000mah packs and I put in 3200 back in every time.
