Have you had any over heating problems with the lipo packs in it?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@barto249 Nope, and I've run a lot of packs through this boat. I even took it with me last year to the lake on vacation where I ran 3-4 runs a day and no issues.

is nimh 7.2v 5000mAh (60 cell battery to strong?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@barto249 I'm assuming you meant a 6-cell pack with 7.2V. If so, no, that is fine but you'll need 2 of them as this boat runs off of 2 battery packs.

so basiclly lipo batteries give rc boats more power

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@benchmade556 Its more than just more power. They're more efficient, they have a flatter discharge curve so it stays faster longer, they don't degrade if you run them more than a couple times a day, they're easier to maintain... I could go on-and-on!

[Mr97braden]
