Default RE: HK Small Bolt Hydro same as HOTR

I received the battery today...
Gens Ace 2200mAh 11.1V 55C
Local store had them in stock...

... and yes ...that battery worked. There was not any cutoffs. Top speed was 67 km/h (41 mph), second best 64 km/h. At the end of 5,5 min run the speeds were 56 km/h, 56 km/h and 52 km/h just before battery was empty.

I opened the hatch and measured 42 °C from battery and 37 °C from motor.
- with water temperature about 10 °C

So this config feels very good...
- Leopard 2445 3400kv
- x432
- Turnigy Marine 60A
- Gens Ace 2200mAh 11.1V 55C

Edit: Image
I placed the battery to left side as much as possible to fight against torque twist.
The "G.730 VENTUS GPS-logger" next to battery.


Edit 2: Trying to add video

inthis video part the top speed was 64 km/h, this happens at 20 s and at 54 s. For example in more visual pass at 1 min 3 sec the recordedspeed is only 52 km/h.
