OK, I am looking for data on the twin drive setup of the KOS. The stock 380 sized motors with a kv of 2850. The ones that are actually still running, no "3s, 36mm prop, 0 mph for 5 months sitting on mantle waiting for ...... " :bounce:

I want to set up a similar powered 32" cat, so I am primarily looking for is what kind of power draw did you have on 3s with the 32 or 36mm props?

Also, what capacity of batteries were you running and did you know the speed?

There seems to be conflicting reports out there. Some are burning up 60 amp speed controls, others are reporting a run time of over 10 minutes? I know quality is part of the problem, but was wondering if anyone has any real data they could post, many might find it helpful.

For now I am looking at a lower power setup, so want to stay away from the numbers of the repowered boats with 540's in them. Nice, but not for my application right now and there are quite a few helpful threads about them on OSE already.

Thank you for your help, Brian
