60 sounds good though!!! And more importantly.. no fires!
What kinds water stream do you have coming out your exits? Does it look spotty and weak?

OK ran her again today with Ammo 36-50-3300's. Looking at their wattage rating of over 800 almost double the Turnigy's rating I was pumped, until I ran it. Top speed identical to the turnigy motors. She went 61.1mph riding very dry. So, what's the difference between $15 dollar motors and $50 dollar ones? (about $35 dollars apparently) Got the 36-56-2600's on the way, hopefully they will diliver me into the "70" zone.......FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

I did some runs with my Skunk yesterday with different setups and found my findings pretty similar. With the 1p setup it corners a little better but speeds seems slower. After a long straight at full throttle it hits the LVC cutoff too. With the 2p it holds the voltage up higher thats why its faster.
As far as the one motor thing. It happens to mines too. Although I have only one twin boat I have many twin motor monster trucks. Even with two esc in parrallel which ever motor has less load will spin faster. I'm assuming it happens to yours in the corners when you get off the throttle.
When are you going to be testing out the new setup?Last edited by BakedMopar; 04-23-2010, 01:53 PM.If all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed!Comment

Well I'm hellbound to make these Ammo motors work.....Got 442's in today and have already started whittling em down a bit (38mm) Shooting for this weekend weather permitting. My theory is these motors can't turn a 42mm prop the rpm needed to break the speed of light. SO, I'm going to try smaller props and see what happens......(still waiting on HOBBY KING order with my 36-56-2600's and batts)FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

A quick shot of new prop. Might cavitate like crazy, we'll see.FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

Prop looks good!
I wish I could fit 6S2P in my build. Its just not happening. I may consider going to 5S on a 9XL. I may lose a mph or two, but my run time will be much better. For a quick Woohoo pass on 6S though, its fun.
I got my props in today. Hope to see the water Monday.Comment

You try out those props yet?If all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed!Comment

Yeah tried them Sunday. Lost a few mph from them, but they still looked pretty good! I think I finally see the light on the problem. Mudl told me from the start the 50mm can's were too underpowered for my setup. I believe this to be the main problem as I have explored smaller props now. My only other concern was stinger height but he said mine should be fine. Hobby King still has not sent my order of my batts and 56mm long Turnigy's due to a $1.50 pc. of backordered fiberglass.........FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

You can email them and they will take it off your order and gove you the dollar amount in dollar points. Ive done that a couple times when I got tired of waiting. Then just re-order it when the piece is in stock.
I originally planned on those cans for my build and Mudl suggested it woldnt work well. But thats also a 32" hull compared to the 26". That guys got some great knowledge.

Ran her yesterday with the 36-56-2600's and Gps recorded 63.8......Realistically how much faster would pitching up from the (442's, 1.4) to 1.6? I need to hit 70 bad! My props are x442 counter rotating s/b and slightly detongued.FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

Not sure if youd get 6mph out of it, but, it could slow you down as well. For example, a single drive cat I have runs 2 mph faster w/ a 442 than a 642 on a 8XL... BUT, you never know til you try. And I think unless someone has your exact set up, you can get an answer without trying.....Comment

My elam on the blackjack motor picked up 2 0r 3 mph from a 442 to the 642. Guess I'm back to the drawing board.....FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

Was that with the 42 or the ones that you cut to 38? Did you try the 38? I have had no luck with the X6 series. I don't gps but I doesn't look any faster but more heat. You could try to de toungue them add a little cup to the tips and or give them a little hub cut so it revs a little better.If all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed!Comment
