First boat, Delta Force 35" Pirate

[chummer]

I just made a shorter video of the last run only, the long video was too annoying even for me.

What prop?

I'm finding the x450 to work well.

I got a couple of runs in tonight and managed to get 91.6kph out of it, not much of an improvement but I was only playing around with battery placement. I will still have to tickle the strut and reintroduce the trim tabs. I put on some larger turn fins from ose and they rock, no more hopping in the corners at 1/2 -3/4 throttle, I'm very happy with them although due to my getting to like high speed turns and having a fare crowd, I managed to spin out several times, a few times I had big flips, the first 3 or 4 time I got lucky and landed upright, it was the high speed run, a bit unstable into unsettled water that caught the nose and sent the boat into 2 or 3 end to end flips that landed her upside down. I kayaked out and turned it back over within 5-7 minutes and a friend drove it back in whilst I paddled back. Very happy, not a drop of water in the hull, so I checked temps and through it back out until the LVC kicked in. Temps where all good, probably 5-6 minute runs and the motor only got to around 42c-107f, the esc was about the same but the caps around 63c-145f after the lvc kicked in. Batteries stayed around 40c. I'm sorry I didn't get any video as I would have finally had some entertaining footage but I just didn't have enough time to organize it, this was a spur of the moment run between busy spells.

Here's some video of today's efforts, short and sweet, top speed of 96.9kph - 60.21mph, I'm getting close to my goal of 100kph

Hello Milzee


The best think i can tell you is give it a try for 30 seconds...and check temperatures...!
Mine NEU was pushing easily the the X648, about the Castle 1717 can´t tell anything..

Try it..

Best Regards
