    Nice work. I don't think I'd want to clean up after a mishap at 90mph with this boat. I have a hard time just keeping it off the rocks at 70.

If you're not timing the run itself, you're going to hit LVC on at least one of the ESC's for sure. I don't think anything is wrong with what you're seeing. Did you measure the voltage of the cells after the run to determin how much capacity was left in them?
      sure: at the end of running voltage of any cell is the same: 3.75V... so dropping is over 0.5V under stress...
      changing tx timer to 3 minutes i've no lvc hitting!

            Lol they weren't hot at all to the Touch. I don't have a temp gun to give a definitive reading

              Keagan-Z06, What motors and props are you using on your set up? Are those OSE speed controls? That thing is fast! Looks like it hadles well with 4 batteries.

                I will try and get the video uploaded. I'm using TP4050/2050kv and abc 1815-17-45. ESCs are Seaking 180. I do a high speed run and then a victory lap to cool things off and bring her in. No back to back high speed runs.

                    The ESC's are wired separately to each motor. Power depends on what your battery configuration is. The throttle lead of each ESC wires into a Y harness that connects to the receiver.

                          I got them from the Classifieds from kfxguy but you can get them from TP website or on the OSE store I believe.
