delta force 33 4s2p 58 mph passsss

I race in 90-100 deg. weather and still heat up my lipos to 110-115 before races... But, I must be an idiot!

[Doby]

What a bunch of idiots you all are.....................

I might have to try that as my Zippys only get to around 110 after about 3 minutes of run time.

Maybe I can be an idiot as well...............

[Jesse J]

That does it, Rich I don't want to run with you, I don't like getting perma-sprayed.

What do all you idiots use as a batt warmer, I might have to join the club as fall is dropping us into the 50s and 60s. I usually heat them up in a cooler over night and then keep the lid on and the ~100 heat in to be safe and avoid damage. You guys are heating them for performance and I want to be an idiot too. Any links on battery warmers?

[Doby]

Sit on them and see if the warmth causes them to hatch!

I suppose on a nice sunny day they could just be left in the sun to warm up. I have seen some guys at races using those 12V coolers/ heaters for LiPo storage.

That wasn't a hurricane, it was a couple skeeters!! or should I say gators on the wing?

Maybe a Dingo (alligator) ate your Baby (boat)......................

LMAO.....That video was filmed about 15 miles from where I live. I dont know the person who video'd that but Bayou Black is just down the road from here. Funny someone from Florida posted that,

I always new that i was an idiot!! Jesse, i use a cheap heating pad , like for my sore back! I turn it on high and wrap up my lipos nice and tight. Needless to say i have a few laying around the house. I tested all of them with an i.r. Thermometer and picked the one that got the hottest. It easily heats the packs to 110-115 in 10-15 min. The actual heating pad gets to 140!!!

[Jesse J]

I just worry that if I get one, my back will start hurting and then I don't do boating anymore... good idea, maybe I ask my mom if she has a spare.

Here is my heater I got from Big Lots for $20

Wow, you guys are really getting those DF's flying. I have a DF 32 clone with a 540 9L that is too small I think. 2720 is too high of KV too. On 4S it's at 40,256 RPM so my ESC is getting hot. On a small Y536 (36mm - I know that's too small, I'm trying to keep the amp draw under 100) but I'm only in the mid 30s. Not where I want to be. I have two 2S 5000 packs and two 3S 5000 packs. All zippy 30/40c.

Can I ask you a few questions:

• Is my 9L even worth trying to get to 50 MPH with or do I just have to go bananas with a Hydra 240 and a big Neu 1521 1.5D?
• What's your amp draw in any of those configurations? My Hydra 120LV is under rated even for a 9L apparently.
• What ESC do you prefer to run??
• I though that it was best to use as many volts as possible to keep amp draw down... I'm surprised 6S isn't the way to go - many people have success with 4S. What am I missing?

I've been using my Eagletree and FECalc but I just have questions not answers.
Thanks for your help.

hey mick, I run a df 32 knock off as well with a fiago 9xl and had to up the amps to run the prop(x445). i have went through 3 hydra 120's trying to get that speed. I just ordered a hydra 240 to see if i can reach that speed. We are also using 4s 2p 4200mah to 5000mah 35c packs which is 2 4s 4200mah packs paralleled to make 4s 8400mah.
