OK 2 minutes is not so far from my 45 second exagerated guess. Yes more than double but it's not what I'd consider a realistic run time unless you are talking about a shuttle launch, top fuel run or some sort of cool pyrotechnic display. I didn't realize that BT was running lipo (I saw "6 cell" and assuemed 6 cell packs, I have no experience with Lipos. I can't imagine draining 4200mah (nimh) out of a battery in less than 3 minutes w/o it being white hot. I prop up to 45mm and run for 5 minutes and risk poaching my IB's How is this made possible, Dude.

he isn't from what i read. i never said he was running lipo. read what i posted again
2 mins is ususaly the length of the oval. However this is a P offshore, there for in IMPBA it is a offshore course, which doesn't count laps it MUST fiish the 4 min time and who ever gets most lasp in 4 mins wins.
So if he was racing his boat would need to run 4 mins

I read what you posted several times. I still can't see how you could discharge that fast w/o damaging Nimh cells due to temp. Not saying it's not possible but my imagination won't allow it.

Yes I bring the boat back under power, and with 12 cells the run times are 7-14 mins long.

7 mins at 58 mph. . what are you running like in excess of 20,000 Mah or something ?

Come on be real dude. I race ovals and offshore and i don't get those numbers

Im not an oval racer. I dont go 58 all the time, and when i run it wide open its more like 2 min. 58 is with lipos on glass claim water.

I ran at 55 mph for about 2 minutes with a set of Lipo’s and shortly there after wasted the batteries..
That said, if was fun but expensive..
