15021 25C 5000mah 22.2V LiPO
15048 50C 5000mah 22.2V LiPO

Both venom lipo packs, recommended for my boat... I have one if the 25c coming to get started... Should I buy more of the 25cs, or start buying the 50cs... I am planning to run one at a time, but I know you can run two if wanted... What are the benefits of doing this in a stock boat, and how is this wired properly to run??? Thanks again all...

DO NOT BUY THE CASTLES

I cant stress that enough. I got 4-6 bags worth to go into the garbage. Some of the worst connectors Ive bought, period.

Ok... thanks for the warning... OSEs any better???

You probably paid too much for venom packs. They aren't great to begin with. Go on hobbypartZ and check out sky lipos 40c packs. Better than venom IMO and more affordable

I got it thrown in with my boat, so I happy regardless... thanks for the info...

Venom are way over priced,
Or get some genace cells.

Are the included connectors 5.5's??? Or I can just redo them I guess...

Yes I bought some OSE 5.5's and the am1005's from HK as I could afford the wait. Appear to be the same connector.

Cool... Thanks... I am looking for a heat shrink gun... I see some wagners pretty cheap... Any other suggestions??? Being I am starting over in RC, I am picking up all the necessary tools, etc that I need...

Heat guns are clean and easy to use, very inexpensive and worth while investment, been using them for years. Link: http://www.harborfreight.com/1500-wa...112-96289.html

And they double as a hair dryer in a pinch........not
