Default Twinstorm VE lipo

What lipo batteries size is best for a stock Twinstorm VE brushless?
I run right now on 2x orion lipo 4500 45c 7.4v.

I burned the esc so i wonder if this batteries are to strong for the esc marine voltex 120a?

How long were you running the boat before it ESC burned?
Were you putting around or WOT the entire time?

I run only 5 sec, then it stop and start to smoke.
The boat had run like a champ the day before.
I drive in the sea.

Call for warranty if it went up right after plug in.

I don't know if that ESC has a max recommended C rating but as long as it's getting cooled and your not running the boat until it's hitting lipo cut-off I don't see why it would burn up after almost no runs at all

If i understand this right......lipo 4500mah x45c= 202,5 A
My ESC orion marine can handle max 200A.
In this case i need some other lipos?

Have someone order from team orion homesite?
I have tryed, but i don't find any button so i can fill my order.
