Geico on 6s

[blackcat26]

Got bored last night and tore out the factory trays and made some carbon ones. Replaced the factory esc with the HobbyWing 150a and ran her on 6s.
First run 47.8mph on prather s215.
Second run 53.6mph on x642! Pretty satisfied with the speed for now.

Nice..... What did you use for adhesive on the carbon sheet trays ? Got a Gieco coming Friday.

Thanks for all the R&amp;D!

Thank you for your reports. I just shared your test results with the RC Groups Thread on Miss Geico under your authorship.
Being new to this segment of the RC hobby, information like yours is extremely helpful and will certainly save some $$ for newbies like me.
I new I liked the boat, but it seems like it just keeps getting better.
Thanks again.

Do you want to sell the ProBoat ESC?

Jac 4412, looked on the ragged edge at times but stayed planted.

Stringfly, I used polyurethane adhesive in a caulk tube.

Boomer thanks for the support. Remember this is not the stock esc!

Slyman, think imma keep it for now. I need a good rescue boat.......

could I use a t 180 esc ?? And what should the timing be ?

Thanks

[blackcat26]

Yes. I would use 15deg. Works good with the factory motor.

The bigger the esc the more head room you will have

I would love to see a video of this one

[blackcat26]

Ran today on an Align 600L 1620kv on 6s and got several passes before smoking the motor. Oh well apparently the 645 was too much for that motor. Highest mph recorded was 53mph. Got some good video but my modem is poop and won't let me upload the video. Will get replacement modem asap.

[ammo]

How did the stock motor run on 6s? was the temps acceptable?

[blackcat26]

Temps were fine on factory motor. I was running her extremely dry. Not sure the hull even in the water!
