MEAN MACHINE Owners

Are you running a single motor. How many Mah total are you running in your boat? 4S or 6S? Run time? I have two 3S 5200 mah 45C packs. I also have two 6S 2600 mah 45C packs. Will 5200 mah give me 4-5 min run time with a 4082 1500KV and M445 prop?

I run 4s 5800mAh in mine, on a hacker b50 10-11L (bought too many years ago to remember which), detongued x438, 5 minutes 2o seconds runtime. I have also run it on 8s 5800mAH, on a Neu 1521/2.5D, detongued x440, 5 minutes 20 seconds runtime. Both setups drew the batteries significantly under 20% at the end of a run, runs of 4 mins 30s would have yielded significantly longer battery life.

It felt too heavy for the hull on 8s with the big motor and if I was to set it up again without the constriction of rules I would go for an in between setup of 6s1p 5000ish mAh, 3674 1500kv, detongued x440, if you are after 4-5 minutes on 4-6s 5200mAh that is not enough power to warrant a 4082 motor and you would get very similar speeds but with more runtime from a smaller motor with lower io and less inertia.
