Is that blue SV good for a boat newb?

I'm into planes and cars and would like to start in boats.

I'd like to share batts with my VXL to save costs. Can I use 14 cells in it without issue for sport use? Receiver pack required, I read? Or are lipos just that much better? I'd rather use my VXL packs to make it a little more economical and not have to buy a balancer and carry around tons of batteries.

What other mods does it have? And what usual required SV mods still need to be addressed?

What balancer/adapters do I need to charge the Firefox Lipos on my ICE charger?

Is salt water use okay on these? Any special care for that?

Sorry for all the questions. I've only spent the last 2 weeks reading on OSE.

Yes, it is one of if not the best newb brushless boat on the market... Very reliable and fun to drive..

I always encourge FE brushless boats too anyone that has hobby expirence.. They are very low maintance, and easy to fix and find parts for as well..

Yes, 14 cells is what is recommended,, I only use lipos,, much lighter, faster, and longer run times... No reciever pack is needed,,, just hook up 2x 7.2V packs and go!.... I would "STRONGLY" recommend the FireFox Lipos, they are like putting in OVERDRIVE, it is that much of a difference.... Yes, you will need a Astro Blinky balancer,, and you can use the ICE with no problems,, I have used 2 of them in the past and they performed great..

What other mods does it have? And what usual required SV mods still need to be addressed?

It needs nothing, all the "normal factory problems" have been addressed...

What balancer/adapters do I need to charge the Firefox Lipos on my ICE charger?

I use Astro Flight Blinky balancers,,, nice and easy to use, cheap, easy to find on ebay or towerhobbies.....

No problem, just flush the cooling system and clean the boat after every day of use....

No biggie,, it is nice too see new members getting into FE boats!!

14 cells would be 8.4v packs, not 7.2v. I have read that the 8.4v packs need a receiver pack on the SV27.

I like the 14 cells because I can use my VXL packs.

.... I would "STRONGLY" recommend the FireFox Lipos,

lol maybe with a deal I can't refuse. Is that setup all dialed in? Do I need to check for heat and monitor everything or is it a plug and go play type of setup? I'd like it conservative just to screw around for now. Maybe prop down to CF45? Don't wanna start out and learn with a ragged edge setup.

The Blinky I was researching a little. The instructions on it blow. I take it you plug the Blinky in and you use the battery main deans plug to the charger correct? You don't charge thru the balancing taps, right?

If you'd do $285 for the SV and the Firefoxes I'd probably bite.

I have a CF 45 i can through in place of the CF48... It is plug and play and dialed in very nicely!

Yes that is correct,,, the instuctions that come in the pkg. are detailed...

With the lipos and the BJ motor, how's it run with either prop?

Which do you feel is better for the setup and which prop excels at what?

Just trying to make a choice between the two. Does the 48 get things too hot requiring breaks and such? Roughly what speeds are we seeing?

And lastly, why the switch from the stock motor? Is the BJ motor better?

Thanks, Rich.

Faster with the 48 and more run time with the 45... Niether got hot at all after 5-6 min runs....

I run a M445 most of the time, it it sharpened and balanced,,, little more speed, no heat issues, good run time 5-7 min...

I will through in both 45 and 48mm CF's...

I think the BJ motor is smoother,, about the same KV and has a better cooling jacket...

Excellent. SOLD.

Payment sent. I am having trouble finding an Astro Blinky. Everyone's out of stock and eBay seems to have a generic version. Are those okay?
