looks good mate, I'll be on this to help me with my build. Well done, it's nice the goose stayed off the water for you.

so these runs are on 4 packs per motor, for a total of 8 6s packs in this hull

[rearwheelin]

Looks like a good running boat ! Turnes well and looks like it beggs to go faster ! Thanks for posting Brian, I can't wieght untill you decide to opener up more in the turns and hammer throttle harder !

[riptide1]

no I have paralleled 2 t180 esc's together, so 6s4p is going to both (4 6s packs all in parallel)

Well you have two setups
One esc one motor and 6s2p per motor
Twin CC1717 with 6s4p would be 4 packs per motor...
I would think, anyway.....

[millzee]

what's the benefit of running the esc's parallel, and when doing this I guess you'd do it the same as when making a parallel battery connection?

[rearwheelin]

I think he is trying to say that since he has parreleled all 4 6s pack that would make the battery leeds to the esc's parrelleled. Goal is to have all batts draw down equally.

[riptide1]

yeah ...I didn't know that the battery spec is in relation to the motor ...I do know for sure that there are 4 6s packs in parallel

It does increases the overall discharge rate too ! Esc's are eating good !

[riptide1]

I don't know if I get any benefit except that there are less connectors and I have heard that one esc can draw more amps if you only make right hand turns ...if that's the case, it's spread out over all 4 packs and I don't have to worry about draining packs unevenly. I can tell you that the temps on both right and left motors and escs were equal and I mainly made big right hand oval turns ...

You know it ...I just hope it holds together just kidding ..I can't wait to run her again

You will see a bigger diffrence in mah draw the farther spread your drives are. Your motors are really tourqey and because you were running wet mostlly is why everything was even on temps , and you were using some safe props.

[rearwheelin]

Now you just need to buy another Ice esc and throw some good 4s packs in to series up 8s 2p for a total of no more than 12000mah and get a good pair of 3 blade props and go SAW racing ! You can take S or T offshore for the record ! Easily....
