If your running:
(2) 2s packs in series = 4s
(2) 2s packs in parallel = 2s2p
(2) 3s packs in series = 6s
(2) 3s packs in parallel = 3s2p
(2) 4s packs in series = 8s
(2) 4s packs in parallel = 4s2p
(1) 2s pack + (1) 3s pack = 5s
(2) 5s packs in series = 10s
(2) 5s packs in parallel = 5s2p
(2) 6s packs in series = 12s
(2) 6s packs in parallel = 6s2p
If your running:
(2) 2s packs in series = 4s
(2) 2s packs in parallel = 2s2p
(2) 3s packs in series = 6s

(2) 4s packs in series = 8s

(2) 5s packs in parallel = 5s2p
(2) 6s packs in series = 12s

You didn't include my setup in your list.........
(3) 6s packs + (3) 3s packs = 9s3p

Well
So what do you guys think. Should I upgrade and tweak my df29 to run with the Spartans? Or should I look into a larger hull first?
Bencorecycle on here is offering a hopped up HK Pursuit 32inch with hobby wing 180A with extra caps and a leopard 4074 2000kv for a spartan comperable $450. Sounds pretty appealing. Or can I get mine where I want it?
I don't mind buying a new motor and props. Seems smarter than a whole new boat.
What do y'all think?
Is say the leopard 1700kv gonna do that much better than my pb 1500kv?
So, leopard and x640 and maybe m445 right? Think that'll get me up there with em?

RE: SPARTAN killer ????? Do share
Well, lots to report. Before I posted this thread I bid on a spartan with two lipos. Ended up winning it at a great price.
I'll take it... For the money I got it for, sweet deal!!
I guess last time at the pond I really didn't get to compare speeds well. I was actually running 5S when the spartan walked all over me. And when I had 6S in it I really didn't get to run with em. This weekend I did about three good cycles on 6S with the Spartans also running 6S
As it turns out.... Basically already have a spartan killer with my set up... Or at least a spartan equal :-)
The water was pretty rough so it was hard to see who had the advantage. Maybe the other weekend the Spartans just sounded faster.
Either way fellas happy to report my rig is running great!! The two 3300 25C 3S Traxxas lipos weigh about 111 pounds lights than my brick nanos lol
Also, I ve been having some pretty sweet 3S runs with a 52mm guapner. I'm thinking about gettin two 2S 3300's so I can try some 4S and 5S tests
Thanks for all the input guys.
I bet those big props of mine will be too much on 5S, but I'll keep y'all posted

this will do it and on 4s 5000mah, no need for 6s to beat down a spartan
my DF33 with a Leopard 4092 on 4s will spank a spartan that runs 6s, and do it every day of the week and that's running 4s2p (10,000mah)of weight[:-]

RE: SPARTAN killer ????? Do share
So that's (2) 4S packs run in parellel then right?
Cool, and awesome!!
I need some 2S packs. But I'm thinking I can have a serious run at em possibly with my PB motor on like a 50mm prop on 4S.
We'll see on Saturday... That is if I get around to getting set up in time

Cheaper, Fiberglass and built by a Racer. Spartan killer indeed!
Still not a fan of 1800kv on 6s though.

RE: SPARTAN killer ????? Do share
Yea a six pole does handle higher rpm's better with less aggressive amp spikes. If darin's involved it will be awesome.
Yea a 80 will do. I was using the orginal 1500kv motor on 5s with a pb45 amps esc I also used the pb1800kv motor with the pb45 amp esc. They're hard to kill (the old esc's at least). Knowing PB i doubt its a 80, prob more like 90-100. The old 45 I data logged 60-70 amps constant with high 70 amp pikes and it didn't phase it.

What props and esc are you running with this setup with your DF33? Is the lepoard 4092 the 2080 Kv version? What type of top speed are you getting with this setup?
Thanks,

Prop I started with was a X645 and moved to a M447, I will be trying more different props to find the sweet one!
speeds I'd say are low 50's right now?? we have not put a gun on them at the races yet..
this motor can take more prop, that's for sure

Just to be sure, is the lepoard the 2080 Kv version? If not which one?
What run times times are you getting with 2P battery arrangement? I would quess you are getting great run times with low temps.
When you go to some bigger props, which ones are you thinking about trying and what ultimate top speeds do you expect to get when you get your best setup with bigger props?
Again thanks.

@ dce
our races are about 2 1/2min
and my packs are about 60% used I think..
not sure what prop I will try next and for speeds I don't have my gps any more... lost it setting up my Pspec boat [&o]

RE: SPARTAN killer ????? Do share
Well, Ive got my DF29 i think at the peak of its top end.. (maybe i need to experiment a little with the tabs tho) but radar gun on our 6S spartans and my 6S DF29 both show 43 mph. I really looks faster, and maybe with a gps inside and a longer straight, we could see more but. As of now I alteast have a Spartan Tie-er. I do have a Spartan now, and like it quiet a bit, especially that high pitch wine it lets out. I wish my DF did it, im sure a motor swap might get me there, but I do like my DF better for sure. I've finally got some 4S pack on the way. So what do you guys think? Try the M447 ??? Yesterday I ran a short little 4S run on a big ole 52mm Guapner plastic prop i believe. It was running pretty well... faster than anything else out there on 4S, but into the 50's far from. I realize 4S would be better on a higher KV motor like the one you guys are talking about. Im thinking about ordering an M447 and see what happens
