Default RE: HK Small Bolt Hydro same as HOTR

nice pictures of the boat. I like the special 'paint'.
The outrunner does create a lot of space for the battery!
Today my new 3s 25c 1800mah Lipo arrived and I took it for a test.
I used to put 3s 2200 20c in the small bolt.
The 25c rating does give the boat just that little bit of extra power I liked.
The 20c battery was running great for about 30sec (full throttle) and thereafter a bit less power.
That was alway a pain in the ass for me.
With this new 1800 I am very happy. It is also a lot smaller than the 2200 so I got myself a lot of space too.
I also tried a 35mm plastic prop from my other boat. But my experience is that the octura x432 runs a lot better. (sooner planing and faster)
THe temperatures where not really high with the 35mm prop.
