    Unhappy 4074 2200kv Leopard Seaking 180a.

    4074 2200kv, seaking 180esc, m445 s/b/t, 25-50c 6000mah nano techs running parallel. When i give it full throttle its seems slower than stock. Settings on my seaking is 1-1 2-4, 3-1, 4-5. Others please feel free to chime in.

    you need to recalibrate you throttle
    turn radio on

    pull full throttle
    plug in esc while holding full throttle
    when you hear 2 beeps let go throttle you will here one beep
    lets you know that the off is set

    then you are ready same set up in my boat run 53.8-55 depending on water conditions

    you will find very short run times with those batterys like 1.30-maybe 2 minutes before they get hot at 230 they will get puffy
    batterys are the week link in this set up, you average 120-130 amps esc cool motor cool batteries hot
    I went to nano tech 5000 65c get 3 minutes before batteries start getting warm

    Ok so I have 3 different batteries sets now.
    after 3 identical timed 2 minute runs, all within 30 minutes of each other on same wind and water conditions.

    Skyhighdiver what lvc voltage are you using on the 180a esc & have you had the lvc cut in early at all.

    I did what you said and still slow. Could the esc be defective? Bad motor? Let me know what you think?

    I have set on 3.2v but am going to push it up to 3.4 as I dont always run wide open
    some times i run for a while then float then run again later
    Dont need to push the cells anymore than nessasary
    I have never had the cut off kick in on my 2 minute runs but have when fun running
    Seems like my fun running although 3-4 minutes run time but in spurts going to lv cut off the batteries are cooler than 2 minute wide open
    and all balance out well the 65c are by far the best ones i have more spunk and much better run time.

    Notice I updated my post those mah replaced were from the two 4c not one 4c

    I'm surprised you get as much run time as you do..
