New mystic owner here

[GatorsFan]

Hi all i just bought a mystic and figured i say hello this is my first electric boat but not my first boat as i previously owned two 1/12 miss buds that were nitro

Hey Gators fan, congratulations and welcome! I havnt been a member here long and Ive only had one other boat before my mystic. Ive got about 6 or 8 runs on it and really like it. Theres allot of knowledgeable people on here and its a great resource. Good luck and have fun!

Just some friendly advice, avoid running 11.1v LiPo batteries in the mystic! I ran 5000 Mah 11.1v Li-Po batteries and my Mystic ESC exploded. The new ESC that I ordered is the New 80 Amp, (thats sold in the BlackJack 29). with 5000Mah 7.4v Li-Po batteries I was getting 35mph, and the 11.1v's I was getting 48.8mph. (ESC's aren't cheap)

Thanks for the info i was not planning on running 11.1v lipo batteries as it states 4s is what it is rated for. im running 5000mah 40c 7.4v gens ace batteries getting about 6 min of run time not sure on mph

The Mystic is not a stock 6S setup by any stretch! Even 5S is pushing it. Stick to 4S (2 - 2cell Lipos). If you want to increase speed and performance....read through the forum and go slow with mods. tinkering with setup is a much better way to get improvements at the start. Otherwise, you are stressing everything! Do prop upgrade. Make sure CG is good (27-30% from transom) Strut angle should be 0 - +2 degrees. Strut height... check in forum but most likely 1/4 above transom.

6 minute runtime? with twin 20C 7.4 Lipo 5000Mah I was getting 25 minute runtimes.

[GatorsFan]

wow i timed my run with a stop watch and it was right around the 6min mark with 2x 7.4v lipo 5000mah 40c packs

I am very new to the RC boat scene and just bought a Mystic. I understand cars but a novice at boats. Can anyone give me advice on a basic setup for what I will need? Batteries, charger, connectors etc..? What do I need to watch out for? Any advise is very much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I just redid all the electrical connectors on my Mystic(first rc boat too) to 5.5mm bullets. The deans were soldered on like ish. I would guarantee one wire would have definitely unsoldered on me while running. I also changed over the 3.5mm bullet connectors on the motor to 5.5's as after seeing the soldering job on the deans I wanted all new joints done by myself. Batteries I'd look for some 2s1p 5000mah 40c+ batteries and as for a charger your budget is the biggest dictator of what to recommend. I went with a Thunder Power 820CD as I wanted a charger that would last me and be reliable. I came from dual CE turbo 35 GFX's and I wanted a quality charger to get back into the electric game.

Twin . Is that 2x 4s ore 4x 2s into a 4s ore just 2x 2s ? 25 min, that's a long time man, I thought the stock setup on my friends pnp mystic lasted quite a while on 4500, but 25 min, wow.

two 2 cell batteries. I was running on a small golf course pond, so I couldnt keep the throttle pinned.

[GatorsFan]

when i stated 6min of run time that was all out max throttle on the boat

6 min is about what I would get from my stock setup on 4s WOT. Anyway welcome to the forum.
