    200A Swordfish Pro in a rigger?

    First off Thanks to Steve for helping so much. I am going to run 200A Swordfish Pro in one of my boats to test and make sure it is good to go. It belongs to a friend that is a little of a newbe. How about in a rigger with 4S 2P, 1527 1D, X447 prop I ran it with a ABC 1816 prop and a CC 240 LV nothing to write home about but it moved. I have not had a lot of time running this setup. Should I go to a 30 inch sport and 1515 1Y on a 640?

    I am also getting my rigger back going with the 1515/ Swordy combo. I was thinking a 440 to start then up to 640. It went good before with that. Noticed a slowdown on a bigger prop though. Had Lehner in it then though,hoping the Castle has more torque.

      I am running a SGX20 with a 1515/1y 2200 (4200 cells 1P) and an H7 prop. Seaking 120. pulling about 80 amps and going 63mph. Never gets hot. I am sure I could go bigger the current prop has about 2.95" of pitch. This was my P spec rigger. Way more reliable with Full P power.

        Thanks guys I have not ran much other than my 40.160 and Castle 120 and 240 lv. I appreciate the advise. What is a SGX20?

        Normally I just go to the pond and test but my pond had been real low this year due to construction. I have to walk down the cliff side about 50 ft. And at 65 years young my legs do not hold up so well.

              You mean max amps?
              Or what info can be extracted. If you mean programming, there is a lot more with USB link than the old box.

                No I was speaking about the motor, prop and cells.

                I hooked up the ESC to the computer and it does not read. I have three new ESC one out of the three will read on the computer. I get "Cant find hardware O1MS's parameter settings" Just my luck lately. Now I do not get to test it on Sunday.

                  What drive did you install the program on? You need to instal it on anything but the C; drive.

                    I have also been having issues with the programming all along. Somebody posted some updated software the other day either here or on Keith's site. I'll look when I get a chance.

                      That did the trick! Thanks, I installed HiFei program on my external hard drive E:/ now it will read the other two ECS's
