    Kmot,

    What is the "C" rating on the 3s lipo? I have a couple of 3s, 1100mah, 12c lipo's lying around. The Mini Rio looks like a good place to put them to work... IF they fit.

    I just don't like the looks of the very light (18 ga.?) wire in the stock setup.
    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

    Chop: This particular battery is rated 23C. The first time I ran it, the battery wire insulation started to melt slightly. I removed the esc from the boat, cut the wires down to 1/2" pigtails, and soldered on 16ga wires. I believe the stock wires are 20 or 22 ga.

    Here is a video I made from saturday. I tried my brushless the next day but it made my batteries so hot i couldnt touch them so I converted back. I think the brushless needs a 3s pack not a 2s pack, any suggestions?

    any updates on the stock electronics holding up to 3s
    The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

    My rio lasted 1.5 laps on 3s before taking a dump, I do not advise 3s on stock esc.
