Ok I've gotten the specifications for the battery not even sure how I found them but it's compatible with a 7.4v 2s lipo is what it says but doesn't tell me much else

Okay that means that you can use a 2s lipo. With a small bit of soldering you can swap the plugs. Just do one wire at a time on the batteries.

Ok ya I'm probably going to ditch this funny looking set up all together due to wiring not needed

The plug on the opposite end has a loop in two of the four wire sockets assuming for the balance section of the battery

This is definitely toy grade stuff with a twist it's capable of handling much more power then it lets off

Is that the ESC of the RX?

 

[97warrior_rider]

Yup it's in a mildly toy/hobby built boat

It's a all in one unit which blows my mind because it binds and runs a 380 brushed motor on 2s for about 10min and it's fast

In theory you could upgrade all of that to brushless and lipo. Gut all the electrics and add in after market parts. You may have to fabricate a motor mount but that can be done with some hobby plywood.

That's actually my idea for it just trying to get by with the battery alone till I can afford a castle boat system

I would just go with a hobbypartz setup until you can piece the scorpion system together. I wouldn't put that kind if money into an affordable boat. Personally I would get the boat kit first then build the power system around that.

We'll see that's the thing I am getting a rockstar 48" nitro offshore catamaran in August and I plan on getting a lot more in to boats so I figure if I get a soiled system I can always drop it in another hull down the road but you maybe right with the scorpion to start.

Scorpion is a great setup. Down side is the investment needed to get it together. Also check out the for sale ads on the forums. You might luck out and find a great deal.
