Hot Batteries
Hi All
Last Sunday I found some boaters at my local pond. They were all Nitro, or gas weed wacker boats. So a little nervous about bringing out an electric.
While they were tuning I ran the Super H , and was pleased to see that they were interested in the speed I was getting from an electric.
I still had my share of problems though.
The boat is eating battery packs. Could only get half throttle on one run. Found a battery pack had shorted out and was dead. Another time I blew a fuse, and was dead in the water.
The ESC and motors are not over heating, but the batteries. are really getting hot.
Running the batteries in series really takes the juice out fast.
Does any one know if changing props or something that may help this problem.
I've also seen a posting on another web site that says I should have a diode on the motors to stop voltage feed back to the ESC.
Any thoughts out there?
