those battery's wont do.

a 900 will put about 60 amps . your going to need to run a min of 12 cells each motor and one esc for each motor.

2 of these per motor

hi taylor shaw
how do i hook up 2 batterys on each motor to the sc-480 esc thanks rye

what size batteries?

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMND3&P=7 this is what some one on this page said to use whaty do you think thanks rye

oh HAHA . i forgot about that
ok well if you want the most volts for the most speed hook them up in series you will get 14.4 volts at 3800 MAH
if you want a good run time then hook them up in parallel for 4600 MAH at 7.2 volts

ok can i use this http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LC2802&P=1

yes that is for parallel. and you will get 7.2 volts at 4600MAH

ok thanks for your time ,i am new to this kind of power, this is what i am building rye

P109. we have many of them in our club
one has 3 550 motor on one of the SC480 esc's with 2, 8 cells in series. and the motors are in parallel

this boat is 5' about 9 lb with out the batterys how who you do it only 2 900 motors for speed or long runs i want to get up on plain with it ,rye

i know the boat. they are all the same length.
I would suggest a gell cell "lead acid " battery.
of around 4.5 ah( 4500mAh) and around 12 volts
that one battery would do the job

take this http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXL370&P=0

perfect

that one is 7 amp how about this one http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXSK06&P=0
