I have the swordfish 220 2S to 6S with out the data loging. I have ran it a bout 20 times. In the first 4S setup my War eagle 34 10 plus pound boat on a Neu 1521 1.5d. I it ran it about 6 times dialing it in to get speeds around 55MPH. I had to run a big prop 557 to get the speed I wanted. It thermaled the esc. So I went on to My SS30 and a 1515 1Y and weight in the 6 to 7 pound range with a 444 CNC aluminum prop. The boat was fast but the handling was a little rough. In testing I tried a 640 prop the boat handled well but the speed suffered. Mind you the 220 ESC has faired well all these runs.
I wanted something that would be fast for racing but ran smooth. since I only had one 444 and it was aluminium I could not curl the ends and did not want to cut it for less lift. I decided to run a 442 balanced lightened and curled prop. I went two laps and had to run at 1/2 speed 1/2 pf a lap to bring it in to the launch area. The ESC quit about ten feet from the launch area. and would not re-arm. It will program on the computer but will not re-arm the motor. Is there any trick to make it work again less sending it back to Swordfish?
