    it has nothing to do with what i'm running vs his set-up
    you and your pals said thats not the way to do it ....period...(joe)

        Interesting thoughts you have there mate....

        I don't have a logger but I do have an amp meeter. I get max amp at 74amp but I can't log what the motors do as they run.

          i do have a temp gun, but I usually dont use it unless something feels unusually hot! Passed the 15-second test!

            It had everything to do with that. If I remember right, you said something like Ekos on 4s like butter. It seemed to get us all in an uproar. By the way where did I say you needed a logger to run a boat in that thread? I use the touch method or temp gun all the time.

              You said you are running with 2 x 4S , 4500 mAh Lipos? How the heck can you close the hatch? At the hobby shop I tried fitting 4Ss into my EKOS but the hatch did not come close to being shut, so I stuck with 3S. What Lipo brand are you using please?

                You will not believe: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/s...dProduct=10869

                He bought this battery before measuring the space. It did not fit as you said.
                had to rip out the battery mounting tray as well as remove the hard case and wrap the battery in one layer of duct tape.
                After had to play with up to mm mounting position but found one that just fits.
                Still touches the lid just a bit but not enough pressure to stop the tape from holding on.

                  I removed the foam from the hatch anyways 3s lipos fit fine and I'm sure 4S will too..depends on which kind you get actually to be honest.

                            Lose the attitude and the caps lock buddy. Keep plugging Venom till your boat goes up in smoke, which it will. At that point you may have holes burned thru the hull along with some nifty stains and a putrid smell. 4s is a bad idea. I dont care what you say. Ask anyone else who has done it. Look around the net, not just here. The quality of the electronis is terrible. Definately not suited for 4s as well. Even if they were great, still not 4s motors. Name calling will get you nowhere around here. If Steven Vacarro along with other FE experts are telling you it's a bad idea Why even risk it? You'd trust Venom's hype over them? Good luck with that.
