Battery C rating for ProBoat Volere

[EXTREME RC 4X4]

I have a ProBoat volere which can handle 2s just fine and I’m wondering what C rating I should be looking for. I know I’m going to need an alarm so that I know when it’s time to stop as the factory esc doesn’t have a LiPo cut off. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Just get the highest C rating ou can afford. I wouldn't consider anything less that 50c for anything that goes fast.

What he said. 50C or better

A 50c lipo would be a complete waste on that boat. You can get full performance from a much lower rated pack (read, cheaper).

It only has a 30 amp esc, and I doubt it pulls anywhere near that even at full throttle. Heck, the stock pack is a reciver pack, not exactly high discharge....
I doubt you could buy a lipo pack these days with a low enough discharge rating to affect performance on that boat (unless you get a too small pack)
I would look for 20-30C myself.

Thanks for the advice! The stock pack gets pretty hot while running full throttle and you can tell it kills the performance a bit after running it with a lipo. I think I’m going to go with a venom 3200 20c pack.
