hi
i have a proboat mystic , i changed the esc ( i wanted to runs 6s) to a turnigy 120 amp. i ran the stock prop and motor , all was well untill the motor caught on fire .
the good news is , i had an osd and all the data that was going on , on board .
my amps never spiked over 100 , most of the time in the 30s , a few pumps on the throttle it will get in the 70 amp range , but once the boat gets to speed its back to 30 or so .
stock prop , i was making 42 mph , with all the extra gear on board ( video tx , osd, 2x 5000mah venoms , camera , dragon link , big ugly cloverleaf antenna ,gopro ) - mostly cruzing at 15 mph , a few roll ons to max .
my passes are over 3000 ft long @ 30-50 amps .
my motor is now incinerated . my esc has buldging capacitors , but still works .
are there any motors that fit this hull , that can handle this set up ?
id like to do flat out for a mile , but i dont think the batteries could take it .
1 motor per season is acceptable , id like to have 55 mph , dragging all the gear
i have a massive 540 kv outrunner , im guessing id have to double my prop ,and there is no way to cool it = more fire .
any ideas ?
thanx
