Guys I'm new to brushless and lipo batts , I read a few post regarding this because I whant to build an airboat and I was wondering if what I bought will work or it will burn.

Default RE: Will this setup work, or it will go on flames?

If wired correctly it will not go up in flames. But no one can tell up how it will perform because we do not know the load on motor. Thats what a watt meter is all about. For back woods advice build fly if anything gets very warm then over loaded and back off on load. One last comment those self detect LVC are not your friend must time your usage and stop before LVC. Using only 80% capacity of the LiPO is the norm for long living LiPOS
