NEW FASTECH!!! :help:

yeah i could. i was just wondering what my options would be.

I have run 5S, but in parallel... you need to balance out the boat. If you go 1 5S where do you put it? This is what I was trying to explain earlier. Why not try 2S x 2 (4S1P) as Robert says and if you want to go higher voltage, swap out one of the 2S for a 3S (of same mah, c rating and preferably brand), this way you have flexibility. When going higher voltage than 4S/12cells, you should probably prop back to 42mm.

oh ok i got it now. if i did this would i have to change the wiring of anything from series to parallel

yeah i saw that u posted that up top. do u have any pics of what it would look like?

[Jesse J]

actually the diagrams tell the story. Here's what i did:

1) take a big pair of diagonal side cutters and clip the battery wires coming out of the ESC about 2"
2) solder on 5.5 mm bullets (male on the positive and female on the negative - that's my convention)
3) make a parallel adapter - 2 Y adapters. 1 where two males go to one female and the other where two females go to one male.
4) plug in the adapters to the ESC and then batteries to the adapters.
5) give boat a toss and grin big.

make sure to use good tape to seal your hatch and spent some extra time in corners of it, you need to keep your boat dry inside. Oooo, if your boat will be too heavy front, too wet ride, cut the battery trays such a way that you can move your lipos back a little. That will help in tweeking it.... Lovely boat for sure...
We need to see pictures please.....

ok thanks. i will let you know when i have the money for that.most likely in a few days. ill buy it if you still have it.

[Jesse J]

Your name is written on it and it is waiting. It was just hoping somebody would be looking. Not really something that sells unless somebody wants one. Let me know when you want it.

[p.swiggs]
