sv 27 lipos

[Pugman]

i have a sv 27 stock motor and speed control with lipo sheild what batterys would be a good choice seen turnagy 6000mah 7.4 2s 25 c packs cheap what kind of useable run time could i expect

[Pugman]

wow no replies

[Jim Caldwell]

Depends on how the boat is set up, how much you are on and off the gas and what prop you are running. I would also go for at least 35c batterys.
What lake is that??

[Pugman]

that is the club lake in celina the hold gas nats up there sometimes

[Pugman]

what can the stock esc handle

[Jim Caldwell]

About 80 amps, 40x55 prop and 5000mah 35C batts = about 4:30 mins in run time.

[Pugman]

been running a x440 with 7.4 4000mah nimh

[Pugman]

have considered ditching sv27 and switching to titan 29 with sv guts

[Jim Caldwell]

Just switch to lipos first, boat will pick up lots of mph because they will keep their voltage under load unlike the nimh.
