I am just wondering if anyone has attempted to run a MG with a pair of 4s 5000mha 40c (14.8 volts) In a Miss Geigo that would mean the system would have to deal with 29.6 volts or 8s. 
If this has been done successfully, I'd like to know the set up used; what ESC, motor, prop and if you changed the wiring from being in series to parallel?
I have a new set of these batteries and am dying to put them in something. I got them for my EKOS, which is of course a twin with two ESCs. I have upgraded the stock 60amp ESC with 120A so it should be ok. These batteries are pretty heavy and make the EKOS sit pretty low in the water, so looking at the MG, it has more freeboard and looks like it can handle the extra weight, so...............
When I tried 6s on my MG it was scary fast. I was surprised that it was able to make 10 or 12 passes before the ESC decided to go up in smoke!
I have since upgraded the ESC to a 120amp Turnigy so no more smoke for now. 
I am wondering what it would take to set the boat up for this kind of power?
And yes, I am a little crazy, so it is ok.
