sv27 tips? and parts i'd need

winner · 10-17-2009, 07:31 PM

hey guys, im in the market for a brushless rc boat (because nitro sucks) i came across the super vee 27 brushless and i was sold. im looking to go lipo, could someone set me up with a good lipo set that would work for the sv27 and a charger for it? and the battery pack has to be water proof.... lol i really dont want to know what a lipo explosion looks like on water... lol unless its my friends traxxas villian.

but also are there any parts i need for it? and would it be worth it to get a mamba 5500?

and i'd like to keep the lipo battery under $150 with charger but i can go up more if i have to

thanks in advance!,

Take a look at www.hobbyking.com they sell affordable lipo's and chargers. I use GE-Power lipo's for my cat. Thay are sold through ebay.

lol looks like a good site, the only problem is i have never used lipo except on xmods and im not really sure what i would need for the boat

You need at least a 25C lipo runtimes varies of course: the higher the number of MAH the longer you can race your boat (if you are using the same prop, going larger or more pitch means shorter running times more speed). I assume you have a decent lipo charger with balancer?
