i ran my new boat for the first time today. (cobra2) it ran well but i think i didnt have the right prop but anyways after many laps it slowed down and stopped and the motor wouldnt spin over anymore, i did have sterring thou. is this common ? could it have reached the cut off point ??

How long did you run? definitely sounds like the low cutoff point"Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone except God.

Could be a possibility , how long were you for and how many miliamps the battery took when you recharge itOriginally posted by dan hutchinson View PostComment

im not sure of how many miliamps it took . but it was reading 13 volts when i plugged it back in to recharged it. you know i really dont know what im doing and i should probally wait to get some help. im a nitro guy and this battery / charger is confusing to meComment

Dan if you're using a 4s (cell) lipo battery then 13 volts would mean it had 3.25 volts left per cell. That's discharging it way too low and was probably kicking in the low voltage cutoff.

Dan, i have a Cobra hull set-up with a 2560kv motor and a 120A esc on 4S 6000mah. Running high 40`s to low 50`s. Dont know if`s the old or new hull, but it`s tracking perfect even at full speed in the corners. Great boat! See my boat under Cobra, Show off your rcboat-picturs
