hi Ctonez

What motor, esc, lipo's and prop do u setup on that triton?is it necessary to sharpen the turn fin?

Mel

motor = Neu 1521 1.5D
esc = barracuda 125
Lipos = 2 x 4s 4500mah 30c
prop = 450/2 (prop in the pics is a P220, just for the pics though)

It is necessary to sharpen the turn fin as well as the rudder if you wish to maximize boat performance and minimize drag.
I don't run a turn fin quite that big anymore, and I also run a small fin on the left side now. I am pushing the esc pretty hard, or I'd prop up to a 452...then again, I rarely need more speed than I already get.

cheers,
...and thanks Westbeach!

Oh I see, no wonder my triton run when turning seem to a a bit jumpy, I'll sharpen it as sharp as a razor blade...LOL

Im also going to downgrade my setup to 4s, as 6s too much esc's fried and motor d-magnetize, really take the fun away

Thanks Corey for the info

just to clarify - I run 2 4S packs in parallel for a total of 14.8v and 9000mah.
