hello i just bought a miss gico and new lipos and then found out i cant use 35c lipos but i need 25c what is the difrence and what would hapen if i did

[hazegry]

35c is the discharge rate of the batts I may be wrong but I am pretty sure you will be fine with 35c in that boat

[dana]

you need a minimum of 25c, anything above is better. the higher the c rating = the better your boat will run. the c rating is basically how much the battery will discharge, so the more the better

I am just thinking of getting into FE Boats and wondered if the Rio EP is a nice boat for a beginner????

[dana]

i really havent any experience with that boat, everybody has different opinions about starter boats, but i know alot of people start on sv27's.

bob, great little boats but you'll be looking for something faster real soon. Depending how big your pond/lake is you might want to look into a supervee 27 or a rtr cat

bob you might want to think of building your own as well if I can do it anyone can

Why can't you use 35C lipos? the "C" is the discharge rating. For example, a 1000mAh lipo batterycan be continuously discharged at 35amps. a 25C would be 25 amps.

proboat recommend 25c lipo

[jac4412]

paw, 35c is perfect, probably better than 25c. Proboat just wants you to buy their expensive dynamite lipos
