FastGuy, I think you might be cutting it thin running 2 of the 7.4v 4000mah 10/12c packs. If you run 4 of them then you got a powersupply that would kick butt. The 7.4 3600 12/16c packs would be a better choice for just running 2 single packs. Comparison against the subC packs...There is no comparison there a differnt animal, the LiPo's are or make the boat light, fast and into a beast. The subc packs pour raw power out but the boat may be a bit more stable due to weight. So both setups have there place. I love both of them both are awsom. Love the 3600 NiMh BattlePacks but I also love the LiPo's.

I ran the stock boat yesterday after I balaced the LiPo packs with a CF48 prop. The boat became a BEAST... it was so quick it was unreal. I didnt GPS it but she was absolutly flying.

Thanks for the info ice. Whats a powersupply?

a powersupply would be the batteries in this case, providing power to the motors.

FastGuy, I said power supply which would be your batterys. The 7.4v 4000 10/12c packs are good for 40 amp continuios with 48 amp bursts. Might be cutting it close in the SV. The 7.4 3600 12/16c are good for 43 amps continuios and 57 amp bursts. Next week NJFE will be doing testing with equipment in the boat to get a better Idea of actual numbers.

The 7.4 3600 12/16c packs seemed to work fine in my boat, the pack temp were under 115 and I had solid power threw out, take off acceleration etc.

here is a vid from this past weeks testing
