I wanna Introduce myself to this site and thank everyone for all the great info I have read so far...
I Just received a Brand New KOS P1 with the 2.4 radio
First Impressions were Great I really like the look of this boat.... I thought it would be bigger than my Villian IV but oh well... It is Longer but is seems way smaller especially on the water...
I Drove the boat yesterday (Maiden Voyage) My first mod was adding a Traxxas connector( all my RCs and Hyperion Duo 3 use traxxas connectors...)
No lipo yet so I removed the LVC and used a Max Amps 10.8V NIMH for the first run....
Ok wow talking about cavitation:help: once it gets on planes it moves really well but as soon as you slow down and turn then ease into the throttle it really bogs out almost sounds like its spinning and not turning the prop???? as soon as Im straight and give it throttle it sounds like its working hard and then seems to kick in kinda like a badly slipping clutch.... (Im new to this Flex shaft thing as well)
I almost feel like its slower than my Villian running 18 tooth pinion 28 tooth drive gear on 16.v NIMH....
I have a set of 3s Lipos but I run them in pairs on my Revo and brushless gt2 and 6s would probably blow this boat up :beerchug:
I need a real prop for this thing can someone get me the direct link of the best upgraded prop that would fit the boat with no modifications I plan on running the 9cell NIMH till I get a single 4s Hyperion Lipo
any comments and help would be greatly appreciated
Here are a few pics
