    What Battery do you use for your speedy RC boat?

    Yeah, What your describing does sound like LVC since a fresh battery will make it run again right away. Something doesn't seem right though. I would think it would be designed to last longer than 3 minute run times. It would be helpful to know what the temps are on the motor, esc, and lipo after...

    What Battery do you use for your speedy RC boat?

    Ok but were not trying to go for longer run times here, were trying to make sure the batt can handle the amp draw that is being asked of it. Either way though the bigger question to me is...Is he hitting LVC or is he hitting a thermal cutoff on the ESC?

    This is also true. I wonder just how much it would affect it though. I mean would the increase in mah outweigh the extra weight in terms of amperage draw? Things that make ya go "hmmmmmmmmmmm" lol

    Just to put it out there. higher mAh rating also help with higher amp draw so if I was gonna try and go with a different lipo route Id probably try to find one with both high mah and higher C rating but I really dont think its the battery...

    What Battery do you use for your speedy RC boat?

    I would not recommend going to a 4S lipo. Most smaller scale brushless electronics are only designed for 2-3S typically. I see nothing on the specs of the ESC other than its rated at 30A and the recommended lipo is a 3s 1300-2200mah 35C which you have. If youve done nothing at all to mod the...

    What Battery do you use for your speedy RC boat?

    The first questions that come to mind are. Is this the same battery you used before or is this just a random battery you bought thinking it would work and youd never run this boat before? Is it the stock electronics in the boat still or have you made upgrades? Can the boat hold a bigger and...
