Steven told me to run 12 cells.
Approx 4 MPH. My test was around 4MPH differnce between 6 and 7 packs. There is a but.. you really should beef up the cooling and change the radio to run the 7 cell deal. Good six cell packs are really plenty fast but there is a noicable differnce on 7 cells.
I run my 7 Cell IB3600 BattlePacks with no problems what so ever to date. Temps avarage 110 on the motor and 120 to 125 on the packs. All this on a 45mm cf prop. It's been cold here so lets se what summer brings. Another thing to take into consideration...I don't care about cooking the motor or esc...Just gives me a reason to upgrade. I do how ever care about over heating the batteries.
Well like I said beef up the cooling, use the OSE water jacket, open all the fittings and the pickup. Watch your temps on everything because your pushing the envelopes. I dont peak the 7 cell pack either. Dont over prop. I charge the pack then I let them set for a hour or 2. All I run is 7 cells in the ICE Rocket and I have no problems so far. Knock on wood! I have stock motor and esc drive cable etc. Cooling is worked and rudder lowerd 1/4 inch, and went to a PM3radio. A nice wax job and thats about it... hehhe It works for me...
I run the following OSE hopups. WaterJacket, drive cable, propshaft, drivdog combo, tabs and bulkhead fitting. I didn't open up the cooling because IMO the jury is still out on that one. Next winter I'm refitting the boat with Feigao power and SpeedMaster hardware.
I watched my temp change a lot as the water warmed up in the pond. I was seeing high 90's and thought what are these guys talking about but the pond was 48. When the pond got close to 70 I see 120's on the Rocket, but less on the stock boat running 6 cells, like 105-110. Your water up there is still real cold, you may see more temp when it warms up. I just read all the posts on RCU and decided to do it. I am happy I did because I relax a little more knowing its done.
i got the jacket, cable drivedog... and am adding cooling to it.. i will be putting on the trim tabs from the v24 just for the motor, and using the rudder pick up for the esc... then i may do something for the batterys.. but not to sure yet

I'll go with a second propwash pick up if I see a jump in temps. Pop in another bulk head fitting and cool the motor and esc in seprate systems.
hahah GO FOR IT, just dont do it unless you can stomach that OT OH smell heheh You never know
o im doing it... :D

Hey Ice..there are still spots avalable in the SJFE one handed driving school:p .....:D
That camera almost went into the drink twice... I need a tripod. I know something is going in sooner or later just hope its not the PM3
I almost dropped the Sony Cyber shot camera I use in the drink last shoot. It's MrsSJFE's favorit xmass present from this past season. I would have been on the coutch...maybe in my car for quite a long time for that one.
