    Feigao motor install pics

    Just wanted to show some pics of the new feigao 380xl's going into the ekos hull. These are the 9xl's with the new ose water jackets. I'll post some info as soon as I get it on the water. Oh yeah, I have some ammo 28-45-2700's with water jackets up for sale on the swap shop if anyone is interested. Second pic is the ammo compared to the feigao.

      please let us know that propeller you are using too. It seems that tower will not have the cnc 32 mm venom props in store any time soon.

        Ok, got her out on the water yesterday on 4s 3600 30c lipos w/36mm venom props. Got a bit of porpoising and a gps reading of 107mph???? It was fast but not that fast! So I reset the gps and moved it in front of the motors this time in an effort to stop the porpoising and got 48.5mph. Not too bad but I think there is more there. Sooo, last night I put on a pair of counter rotating CF-40's and bumped the stinger up about 1/16" posotive. Ran it again today after work. The attitude of the hull was much better today and I recorded a screaming 55.2mph! I'm very happy with those numbers and am hoping to get 4-5 minutes of run-time with this setup. I only ran it 5 or 6 passes for about 1.5 minutes but it was cool to the touch. I don't want to push it too much but I would like to try a set of octura 442's, only because the cf-40's prop hub is larger than the ekos drive dog and doesnt fit real well. I know! I know! Wheres the video!

                  Why

                  I have NEVER ruined a carbon prop. At 25-30k they work great.

                    Yes, new couplers. Stock motors are 4mm shafts. Feigao's are 1/8" shafts.

                          Yeah, a plastic prop would shred,but not carbon.

                              any thoughts on whether the 32mm venom props will be too small with the feigao 9xl on 4s?
