Hi Guys,
so it seems that the IM 31 V2 is not for 6s with stock upgrade?
Thanks,Niky.

impulse 31 v2 works in 6s, but is excellent in 5S (most favorable) prop x442

Are the two new proboats ok to run on 6s? It seems to me if it had a problem with 6s it wouldnt last 6 months, I would think if if it didnt burn up after a fair anount of use, you should be good to go, when somethings not rite, it doesnt take 6 months to burn up. more like 6 min.

Hi Guys,
It seems to me that the new IM 31 will have the same pains on 6s as the Spartan had.
So I give up, I'll buy by OSE STORE the upgraded components for my Spartan and the case is closed.
Another "sacriface" of 350$ and all the pain will be gone (hope).
Thanks all,salute Niky.

hi,Guys
I do not understand, Impulse 31 v2 works excellent in 5S, why put it in 6s

what is the obsession of 6s, 6s, 6s ,6S,...... Why?
6S is an illness

[LOVE6S]

what is the obsession of 6s, 6s, 6s ,6S,...... Why? 6S is an illness I dont understand why you would say that, 6s, is a standard, that many a FE BOAT is run on, 4s and 6s I think are you most common power sources people run, higher volts and less kv, draw less amps, and can be a great setup???

[mannytx1]

you love 6s

rc boat 4s or cr boat 6s
not 4s and 6s
I prefer 2200kv 4S
I prefer 1500kv 6S

Hi Guys,
yes, you can say that is my obsession, but now I got 6 peaces of 3s LiPos.
You have no idea how much it costs here in Switzerland. I spend almost a 1000$ for 3 couples of LiPo batt. and the charger.
There's sites you can order the LiPO for a double less price than here, but it's very likley that you'll never get it because of non comfortibility with swiss law.
I know the people who never recived their batt.
So i must use what i have, don't wanna spend anymore my money for the LiPo.

hi NIKy
apology
I live in U.S. texas and we have this problem, 6s runs fine with X442 5s and 4s x445 with no heating problems.
my temperature here is 90-100f
the speeds are different every day with the same settings, dependent on external factors.
I am a fan of speed, but I like to take care of my boats

I desoldered my new version 2 also and had discolored/burned motor wires. And after reading Darin's comments from above, I am guessing that I did not have mine setup well either and I was running 6s. The difference is that Horizon Hobbies/Proboat sent me out another motor and esc. I like the boat, but it guess I need to learn more about setup, but 6s on the stock setup I am not sure about. I have since changed esc and motor and added the dual rudder option for extra cooling and changed to 5.5mm bullets running .187 flex without teflon. I haven't had a problem with the servo (yes the back screws come out at an angle, but it is not that bad). Yes the antenna was a pain ONCE. The hull is solid. I have had issues from day one with water in the boat. I still have not located the area yet.
I guess what I am looking for is a boat I can run wide open for 5 minutes without any problems. I am a newbie to RC boats. This is my first fiberglass hull. I am trying to learn the ins and outs of this sport. I guess I made the mistake that Proboat said it would run on 6s and it is a RTR boat.....so I put in 6s and ran it. I also had the top hatch crack on my first crash. Proboat sent another hatch. Horizon and Proboat have EXCELLENT customer service. All in all, This is a good boat. After some mods a great boat.

Hi david,
that what you say is materializing of my fears.
Today, there's no RTR boat that can run on 6s out of box. It's better to buy just a hull with drive hardware and put the ESC & motor depending which batteries you want to run.
I'm wondering why don't they make the boat a hundred, two hundred box more expencive, but also qalitativley better. Incredible!
Salute all, Niky.
