What battery life to (very roughly!) expect
« on: April 15, 2022, 05:24:44 pm »
24" 'sport' boat, bout 1.5kg, basic stock 540 motor. Hopefully planing!
I'm planning to use a 2S LiPo, but wondering what capacity to go for.
How long would e.g. 4Ah last? Not looking for a detailed answer obviously, just a 'gut feel' from those with the experience. Thanks.

35mm prop, direct drive, about fifteen to twenty five minutes, depending on the 540.
