If you own the motor Im sure scott will pm u I hope. I know hes been missing but he has responded to all my personal request. I guess in a way I understand. When u have the guts to try to put your own product out there ur subject to scrutiny.That scrutiny can hurt and will discourage one from continuing on. So for myself Im going to apologize to the guys @ screamer cause trying to do your own thing I found out isnt all that easy.I can tell you this though if you had the numbers when you look at the data above 12s on this motor you will buy one. So my bad fellas.

Mark youre a good guy. Youve stood buy this motor as if it were yours I hope people appreciate their friends. Loyalty is hard to come buy these days.

Since the castle esc's don't work with this motor, will the swordfish 240hv esc work? Has anyone run one with the screamers motor? I am trying to finish my mono build and just need an esc that is going to work.

Xfactor · #**394** 06-12-2010, 06:21 AM

Never ran run one but a swordfish is a 240 amp continuous esc. Thats real healthy so it should handle it no problem.The castle situation I think is a mystery to everyone.

Well I have a little screamers motor on its way..... I'm gonna be trying it in my Delta Force Sniper...... what should the timing be set at Little Screamers? and what should it be set a for a scorpion 4035/800.... I have been told by someone that 15 degrees timing on the scorpion otherwise it runs hot... is this true... I think I only ran 7 degrees last time and she got hot... hot enough to burn up and take everything out on a modest prop.......

Xfactor · #**396** 06-12-2010, 11:36 AM

15 degree for the scorpion is right. I did the math on the pole/stator cofiguration. Ru gonna go 14s?

Xfactor · #**397** 06-12-2010, 11:36 AM

or at least 12s?

I run an HK4025/6 on 6S1P, the motor definitely runs better on 15 degrees advance and 8 hHz switching frequency. This is what the US distributor recommended - surprise, it works! Far better than relying on what "someone" may have said....

Thanks Fluid..... maybe those "someones" are whats getting me in trouble! LOL.... anyhow I am going to start on 10s2p 10,000 mah poly rc's 30c's and then 11s2p 10,000 mah poly rc's 30c's..... baby steps for me:) I will also run it through a Turnigy Monster 2000 upfitted with liquid cooling and waterproofed.... also may try my schulze on it after I get the set up close..... rather burn up a $200 esc then a $550 one.....:)

Hey guys I ran the boat yesterday with the LS motor in it about the 3rd or 4th run on the new cells. I was not able to get a GPS on it but it was between 60 and 70MPH this run. motor is getting better! It look so cool what a screamer!

Yeah when I fired mine up the whole boat stand wanted to torque over youre right its very strong.Randy You have yours boxed in. Were you planning a fan for cooling or is that for protection of some sort.If its protection line it with kevlar cloth.Heres a shot of mine mounted in place.

Xfactor · #**406** 06-17-2010, 09:17 AM

I hope people also realize that this motor and others like it that "WE" run can twist your arm off like a pretzel too

I've been working on some oilers, but never heard of water cooling the tube.

How do you keep it from blowing all over in the hull?

I solder with two different temperature solders. It is a sealed cooling system on the stuffing tube. Unlike the oiler it is open at both ends.

Ah, got it! Just runs water around the outside of the tube, not in the drive.

That's pretty cool.

So I just mounted up screamers motor into my yellow delta force sniper in my album... had a 2215 nue in it....

Anyhow I mounted it as it fit on the existing mount that is very strong.... I can lift the boat by the motor itself..... feels secure.. Only thing is I am only using two screws to hold the motor to the mount.... has anyone else used a mount with only two mounting screws on a screamer? just wanna make sure it doesnt' snap the two screws....

MarkF · #**413** 06-23-2010, 03:55 PM

I only used 2 screws on mine. No problems here.

Mark

RandyatBBY · #**414** 06-23-2010, 10:01 PM

I had six on the mount and two on the motor.

JMSCARD · #**415** 06-24-2010, 01:28 AM

Thanks for the info Gents! both of you should know much better then I.... The mount itself has just four screws and epoxy but is very strong... and then the motor has just the two screws... I will give it a go at that... gonna start on 10s.... with a turnigy monster upfitted with watercooling.... I am gonna put the batts outside the stringers and try and find a safe place for the esc too... just in case she does come loose.... at least for the first hard run in:) Thanks again!

I am gonna start with a x455 on the 10s.... sound like a good start? not expecting blazing speed just wanna have a smoke free maiden.....

TotalPackage · #**416** 07-26-2010, 06:48 PM

step down on diameter and add pitch

Rumdog · #**417** 07-26-2010, 09:17 PM

id stick with the x455. It has been proven to work with that power combo. Smaller dia prop may not load the motor enough.

MarkF · #**418** 07-27-2010, 09:40 PM

I found the x460 the best prop for this motor.

Mark

TotalPackage · #**419** 07-29-2010, 02:43 PM

With the mystery of how it a 8000 watt motor that wont turn a prop bigger than a 460 but a cheap 44 dollar kb will. It something wrong with the whole setup or the motor was designed wrong from the start. Or it needs a controller designed specifically for it or one that woks properly with it. if that motor is anything like its supposed to be it should turn a much larger prop. I think those cc esc's are not all they are cracked up to be or the motor is a 150 dollar piece of doo doo.As we speak the motor is still a mystery that everyone has just about given up on.No one that owns one is even talking about it anymore. And i hate to say it but so far it has shown me nothing to compete with an am mathe or a good gas engine that will turn a 460 without even thinking about it. The scorpions seem a much better and safer investment for 30 more dollars not to mention the extra weight of the water cooler that it doesnt need coz it cant turn a prop big enough to get hot. Just another mystery .You are crazy jason to let that 2215 go. whoever you did that with won big time on that deal. Youll see soon good luck though I hope you have the success you are looking for.The water cooler is trick though.
