Thats a good thing. The only water I take on now is from throwing her in. The hatch snap needs a sponge. But that's it.
You mentioned the batts were a bit hot. Was the water loose? How wet was she running? Too much prop? These are the 3 things I'm always asking myself when I get too hot.
Just a recommendation on the batts.....go with 4200s/balanced if possible. The extra money spent on balanced packs will be worth it since it will keep temps lower and allow better flexibility with props. At least for race day packs. They're also lighter than the 400s and lower internal ohms. You'll also get about 6-8 min run times depending with setup. The 4500s I have are great and take alot of abuse. But extra 300mAhs isn't worth it. To me.
Ha I didnt tape the snap but I will now. Mine runs real dry.
Well there is a fourth thing to. How many amps I want for how long. Is it race or is it rec. You want WOT till the packs dump you will get heat. You know the race guys are heating up the best NiMHs on a race set up. I was gonna try some of those 4500s. should I? I have 4200s sport and a set of 4200s Race on the way. I have some High Amp 3800s and some MaxAmps 4400s and the fact is I can heat em all up and the esc and motor temp is good.[&o]
