        They're outrunners. Yes that is normal for they type of motor. Outrunners have more torque than inrunners.

            I don't know the Segad at all but you never want to use two packs of different mah rating at the same time. If you're using one pack at a time then yes they should be fine

                      You def cannot safely run those two packs series or parallel

                        even if its a 400mah diff? the dude at the shop told me that one side would die out and my boat would lean heavy on one side run wise... when the packs are at there end...

                          You aren't running parallel or series if you are running two seperate motor esc setups so I can't say for sure. Someone who knows more will chime in soon enough

                            As far as series and parallel, I always use the same exact mah/c rating packs. At least that's what I was taught
