New Stealth hydro

[detox]

I haven't got mine all trimmed out yet but, I like these cells because they eliminate 90% of the lead you need to put in.

These never break a sweat:

The more mah the better. Less voltage drop as laps run down

I dont have lead but where you find that battery?

Here are some cool higher capacity bateries.

thanks for posting those Ray
I'll have to find the link and check out those prices..
I'm needing to buy 12 to 18 more lipo packs for 2013 racing season..

The Turnigy Nano packs ray posted are 2s2p (two 2s packs paralleled within the pack). The Neu packs are true 2s1p.

so?
if they kick a$$ then it really does not matter 2s2p or 2s1p

You are very correct.

I originally bought them since they were listed as 2S1P but, I knew they were 2P.

That said I'm still very, very please with them.

Yes, there are much better cells out there but, they are too light most times requiring Lead to offset the CG or cut & chop the inside up.

Back to the Stealth, sorry to Highjack or take thread sideways...

I can see how some cells would be too light for the higher power P sport hydro class, but not the LSH class (UL-1 power). I think the NEU 6200 would be perfect for LSH

NEU 6200, 2s, 312 grams, 5c, 35c, $47.00
NEU 8300, 2s, 409 grams, 5c, 35c, $79.95

No hijack here. We are talking about the Stealth and what batteries may work best.

Thats ok, so with the 2p they are more weight and longer run time, sounds good. You have two of these in the boat for total of 4s. How do they charge, just use 2s charge on each? Is there a balance plug that sees all 4 cells on 2s2p.

[ray schrauwen]

The Nano's are 377 Grams which adds a total of 130Grams to the front of your boat.

Yep, they charge as 2S1P packs. Since they are not duds from factory the 2P balances fine on a charger. Of course you can't check if one of the P'ed packs goes bad... at least not that easy.

Since I learned of Parellel charging and bought a couple boards to do it, I really like it. My cells are more balanced.

I might try a 2200Kv SSS 4074 in the PT on same packs and 120Amp esc to see what it will do.

I hope we get P-Sport Hydro back up in Canada next season...

I've found that 2s 6000mah nanos work well for LSH heat racing. With the motor forward like Shooter did can eliminate having to add weight to the front boat.
weight = load = heat. In stock class the lighter the better. You can put your ESC in front of the motor and your packs in the sponsons and WHAA - LAA !!! No weight added. The boat handles even better that way with the weight of the packs spread out across the front.

Mark - I run a small 3/8" air dam on the front of mine (older stealth). Seems to work well. I was packing too much air at the higher speeds (54mph+!!!!). We ran in pretty gusty weather the other day and it stayed right side up.

Something to be said about the higher capacity batts. They will definitely maintain power better....and you may not need the air dam with the extra weight. By the 6th lap, I'm considerably slower with the 4500 pack.

Here is where I run my batt:
