Just bought 2 SMC HCL-HP 5200mAh 4s batteries and I’m having some trouble charging them.
When I put them on my charger in balance mode, they display 3.83 or 3.84v per well which is how I would expect them to come.
Issue is after less than 30 seconds, the charge reads 4.20v or 16.8v total and stops charging…
Never had this issue with any other batteries.
Just ordered my first RC boat and I'm looking for some info on this model. Going to be a week or so shipping but I'm excited to get it and test it out.
It is a Rage RC Velocity 800 BL which I believe is very similar to a Vector SR80 Pro.
I do notice a big difference and that is the two holes on the left side of the transom... The Vector does not have a flood chamber to self right (last picture) but it appears one may have been added to this one? They seem like pretty small holes for a flood chamber tho...
I just have not been able to find any pictures of the inside of this hull but I'm pretty sure the electronics are the same as the SR80 pro because the ESC amperage and motor KV is the same.
The hardware on the outside of the hull also looks identical to the SR80 Pro so I'm pretty certain it has a 5mm flex shaft. That's something I would like to swap eventually because there seems to be next to no options for 5mm props and tons for a 4.76mm / 3/16 shaft.
What would be required for this?
Looking at buying an RC-PRO Sonic 19 or 26
Not very much info out there on them but they look like a decent hull design and they are brushless.
Any info appreciated
