New Proboat Impulse 31" Deep Vee

[lonneyb]

One can run either (2) 4S packs wired in parallel or (2) 2S packs wired in series. Both scenarios will produce 14.8 volts (4S total). A third option is to run a single 4S pack as well.

Thanx for your reply.....So as long as i hit 14.8 v its all good...i see people talking about a 4s2p and 4s1p batteries...could you explain that in relation to a boat ...i looked at Hobby king and they seem thicker...so i assume its 2 battery's in 1?

"S" is the number of cells in series, "P" is the number in parallel.

4s2p means you have 4 cells in series, and two of those in parallel.

[lonneyb]

Also would you use a special connector for series and/or parallel?...Thanx again

Looks great! May have to get one of these. Is the hatch the same material as the mg hatch?

Hatch is all glass... with floatation already added, and a positive latching system... i.e.: no magnets. Even has a little handle to lift the hatch up with...

[johnf]

That is great to hear! This should really be a winner. Congrats on a job well done Darin.

Depends on what kinds of packs you're running.

For 2s1p, I just run normal 5.5mm bullets negative on esc to negative on one battery, positive on esc to positive on other battery, and the remaining two together.

If you have two 4s packs and want them in parallel, you'll need a y adapter on each ESC wire.

If you have 2s packs and want to combine them into 4s2p you'll need the two y adapters as well as plugging the packs together like I do.

Is proboat working on making the plastic lids work on more than one boat, theres a lot of boat out there that have them.

Not sure what you are asking... If you are referring to the sub-hatch, then yes... The MG, the Mystic, the Impulse's (26 and 31), all have them. So did the Elam.

If we can make it fit, it'll be there, unless someone higher up nixes the idea.

[Brushless55]

any word of the date this one will be out?

[bigcam406]

on the Horizon site,they say early July.

No BND or PNP?

I think he was asking there was any intention of making the lids interchangeable, not sure though.

IMO it's not a huge deal since they all come with lids anyway.

This looks like a very interesting boat. I´ve got a Traxxas Spartan on backorder, maybe i´ll switch to this mono. Because i´m new to FE-boats, i do not know the reason why the teflon liner goes into the transom in a stuffing tube with much more diameter. I read it is called "wet well liner"? Is this for better cooling of the teflon liner with water or what is the advantage of this? And a second question: This little silver "knob" between the left trim tab and the stuffing tube, is it an outlet for water which will come into the boat?

IMO, cancel your order on the spartan and pick this up instead! Way better boat for the money.

The wet well stuffing tube isn't for cooling, it just gives you a much wider range of adjustment at the strut. Without it, you can only get a couple degrees of angle adjustment, and no real height adjustment.

I think the silver knob is a water drain, but with it sealed up you shouldn't need to use that much (or ever).
