Unsullied_Spy · **Hydra Question for the CC Guys -** 08.31.2009, 09:23 PM

I have an AquaCraft SuperVee 27 that I am upgrading and need a new speed controller for it. I'm currently running a HobbyCity 9XL motor on 4s but I want to step up to a Neu 1512 2Y on 6s lipo as soon as I can swing the cash for the motor. The regular Hydra 120 is what the chart on the CC website recommends for this boat but I want to run 6s through it. It's rated to handle 6s with the BEC disabled but I've heard they aren't really reliable on 6s and that I should step up to the Hydra HV.

Is it your recommendation to go with the HV (60 or 120?) or will the regular Hydra be OK? If I do go with the standard Hydra and the rumors prove to be true and I kill it can I send it in as if it were a warranty repair and pay the difference to upgrade to an HV?

All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
