Yes im strongly thinging about ordering a MG boat . but first wanted to know i've read till my eyes crossed about these boats . but what is the run time of the batterys if i leave it stock and throw in some 2s lipo batts ? Just looking for fun in the sun with my son this summer

With turnigy 2s1p 40c 5000 mah bats and a X642 prop I was getting four minutes thirty seconds runs. I changed all the connectors to 5.5 bullets. This is my first Fe boat and I love it. it has been alot of fun, keep reading all of the good info from the guys on OSE.

i run about 15-20 minutes per set of batteries in mine.when i charge and balance,they are only putting in about 2500-2800mah.They are 7.4 5000 45c and a set of 40c

i could handle 15 -20 min run times but 4 mins wow i just cant see how it would be fun to run 4min then charge for hours ..

using turnigy batts from Hk 4s 5000 mah 20/30 c X 2 for 4s 2p and i'm getting 10 min with the ul1 motor. You should get a bit more run time with the stock set up and those batts.

Don't want to discourage you, but if you plan to run a fe boat you are going to need to invest in some batteries. They aren't like a rock crawler that will get 30 min off a little 2200 mah batt. It sucks but it is what it is, if you want to pull the amps you have to be able to supply them.
