Can i run this boat with a 5000mAh battery with no damage to ESC?

Yes mah has no bearing on the esc. Other then the longer run time will create more heat. Just make sure you check before you buy that it will fit in that space. It will also add more weight which will make the boat more stable but a tad bit slower.Hope this helps you

the flight time could possibly overheat the motors if you run them at close to full power for a long time. The motor should have a rating on it showing how much voltage and amps it draws, i would be more worried about your esc. But i would imagine that you should be fine because it is only a two cell.

the battery does not get affected if the boat fills uyp with water (which rarely happens- only if it overturns), just take it out of the water-

If you know nothing about this, maybe you shouldn't own a boat! The short answer is NO, you wire it in with your boat battery.

You can charge a marine battery if you take it out of the boat and charge on shore. DO NOT charge a battery in a boat with anything but a marine rated battery charger. Anything from VERY rapid corrosion of your outdrive to your boat exploding could result. People that don't understand marine technical issues shouldn't attempt to answer questions like this.

The motor will only run if the boat is in water. If you want to test the motor out of water you can touch both metal tubes (at the same time) on the inside of the boat to start a charge.

Use your normal marine battery but make sure that you protect your radio from water. If there is single drop of water do not turn your radio on until it get dry

You will likely fry the esc. I am not as familiar with nimhs. I run lipos. Are you running in series or parallel?

The stock battery is kinda small, pick up a 1600mAh and you should get about 8-10 minutes. Don't feel bad, the really big and fast boats that go 60mph plus only last about 2-3 minutes!

I asked my son, who's actually the person we bought the car for. He knows much more about this than I do. He says: "sure you can use the hexfly 2s 5000 Mah 7.4 V battery but I would not suggest a 3 cell! You could damage your esc or your motor with a large battery."OK?

You will have to do the soldering. You don't have to get the programming card, but it is WELL worth it, and I HIGHLY recommend it, or you may find yourself rather frustrated when trying to change even a small variable. Additionally, this ESC needs really good lipo batteries. If running 4s, I recommend at least 5000mah each at 35c or greater discharge, I believe I run 60c. Caps might help with inadequate batteries. It demands a lot of juice, but really puts out the power. I can't see how anyone could make use of all the power it puts out even with just 4s. It is a handful and awesome.

I have 2 sets on my pontoon and am adding 2 more I will definetly run a secon battery, but if you put a switch on them and use them for 2 or 3 hours, you could probably get by with one battery, hope this didn't muddy the issue to much . It's always nice to have a extra battery on board, in case your starter battery decides to belly up. Good luck and enjoy !

If you are referring to the main engine starting battery then yes. If will not maintain the other system batteries, they simply are not large enough to do that. You will need to keep a check on the water levels unless it is a sealed battery.

You will need to put the battery in some sort of case to be safe. The battery will short circuit if accidentally submerged. It could also suffer damage if left loose inside the hull.I use this in my Ocean kayak trident 13. This kayak comes with a mouted battery bag for the mentioned reasons. You may e able to buy the bag and mount it in your kayak.

Yes it can run on non lipo batteries. But what kind of car/truck are you planning on putting it in? The only thing about this esc is that you have to solder the battery connentor on it.

Sure. It's a 12 V battery and mine runs off the motorcycle electrical system. There's no guarantee of long life, but you can definitely run it.

Hi ThereI run the inverter off of a 27D size 12 volt battery on my boat that is charged from a 120 amp alternator off of the motor.
