I think the hv castle cap bank has four 220uf / 50v caps on it

Thanks Tyler and Chris will get some good ones and make my own cap board.Gill

Ok went to water to test the boat with A-spec 6S 65-130C batteries and finally can confirm a superiority over the nano 45-90C and nano 65-130C.there is a noticeable increase on power end(watts),lower temp on esc/motor/batts .Gill

thanks for the information gil. are you running the neu 1527 and if so how would you compare to leopard 4082? like a volkswagen beetle to a corvette?

Gill this is good to hear as i ordered a set of A Specs 1.5 weeks ago so should arrive soon, i only ordered 1 pair just in case they did not perform so well.

I am hearing and seeing testing done with the A-SPec packs and they are some of the best we can buy for the money right now...

Martin I also bought only two packs of A-spec and will get more as they by far outperformed my other nanos.There is an increase of 37watts on the datalogging with the same set up and temps lowered 11C.Urbs you can't compare apples to oranges but any good motor with the right set up can be very competitive.Brushless I agree that these packs are awesome for the bucks we pay for....but time will tell us the truth.Gill

you are right my friend...time will tell us the truth!!!

any experience with these packs KTMAIAS? Thanks Gill

[ktmakias300]

gill i have tried the nanotech 65-130c and i think was ok...but i tried the dinogy 65-130c and i was very happy with the result!!! i dont know!!! small differences and to be 100% sure must have in the tests the same condition(water,wind)... my opinion is this batteries are good !!!! speed control technology is very back and remember speed control manage the power suply! max speed = many amps if a speed control can manage 360 amps continous then the max speed its going to be very big!!!! good esc= many dollars!

i dont know my friend if i am totally right but this is my opinion. gill i love that rigger of yours...good luck my friend!
thanks nikos

[grsboats]

Ktmakias thanks for your reply and agree that time will show the progress of this tecnology.Btw Tyler correctly stated that top speed is the result of many factors like high discharge batteries,right inside temperature,well designed boat,top quality motor and mainly the use of the right prop for your set up.I must confess that I had a wrong impression of the real potential of Fe models untill get a try to a Fe rigger more less year ago and today I'm completely involved with this class even knowing there is a long way to learn all technical aspects involved here.Anyway I'm glad to have joined this great space wth so many nice guys ready to trade and seek their knowledgment that sometimes all those info made me crazy.I hate to learn burning things but this is part of our hobby.Next step will test the boat with a good cap bank (just waiting Castle retur it to me) and see the effectiveness of the A-spec batt.Cheers Gill

[grsboats]

I would like to state that Castle creations repaired my esc and returned it in a record time(five days)...its quite a trip from São Paulo to Kansas ,knowing i'm in a hurry for my next race so a great customer support that deserves my respect for their acomplishment. Gill

[RaceMechaniX]

Holy smokes! That is a record.

[Chrisg81983]

Castle has been great to me over the years. They never gave me a problem once.

[grsboats]

Yup Tyler I was surprised with their support so from now on I will pay more atenttion to details and get smoke only from my nitro riggers lol.Chrisg this is the well known process of living and learning ..takes time!Gill
