PS- from the photos, you have a different battery box than what came with mine. I've also noticed that your hull/hatch appears to be different. There's a large amount of white around the hull/hatch area.

Glad your having success with 4s, but 3s is still a better setup with this boat. I don't suggest people run these motor on 4s. There are far more failures than successes. You will also find that most companies selling this have removed any info about 4s packs with this boat.

steve,
thank for the concern and you are absolutly correct......but.......
having said that,what fun would it be if you can't run the stock set-up as hard
as you can with minimal tweeks to the best performance or crash and burn and then
just upgrade anyway.....

Ben,

Ah, OK, it's hard to see any detail with white when using a flash. My battery box has sides on it, restricting it to 50mm.

Do you have a current meter? I'm curious as to the amp draw on your setup.

Sorry i do not......
Just going by heat and time...

For the reason that people will read this and run 4s and burn up stuff, then blame the manufacturer and post that the items are junk. Specifications are given for a reason, to run within the safe limits.

For example, People often email me asking if they can run 6s on a esc that has a max rating of 5s. Why people want to pay hard earned money to beat the hell out of the items and burn them up is beyond me.

There's a few here who have tried and can probably share their experiences.

Just about anything you can think of doing with a boat... someone here has tried.
There is a good knowledge base here...

DON'T WANT TO BE A BROKEN RECORD...BUT..I AM NOT
TELLING ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING,THE MOTORS ARE RATED @ 14.4V
AND THE ESC"S ARE RATED @22.2v...SO WHY NOT GO FOR BROKE,IMO NO ONE HAS FOUND
THE OPTIMUM SET-UP FOR THIS BOAT YET.IT IS NOT IN THE FORM OF 3s THAT MUCH I CAN
TELL YOU FROM 8 BACK TO BACK 8MINS EACH WFO RUNS WITH SMALL ISSUES BEING FIXED AS THEY COME UP.
THE ELECTRONICS ARE SOUND, EVERYONE IS TRYING TO RUN THESE THINGS @ FULL TILT
RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX...SLOW AND STEDY WILL PRODUCE A FAST,RELIABLE BOAT
