The Turnigy-labeled SC on HK's site seems identical to the Seaking, BUT the HK programming card that they show only has Running Mode, Drag Brake Force, and LVC. The Hobbywing-branded card that I got with my SC from Jim has :
Running mode, Cell count, LVC, and a choice of 8 timing values. Mo' better !

i had a seaking one it does allow timing change it just has a diffrent sticker i think
$115 with programing card shipped thats a good deal
have they fixed the low voltage cut off issue ? or was that maybe just the 120s

[QUOTE=ozzie-crawl;140826]thanks for that
was running my meanmachine last weekend with a 8xl 4s 1p m545= QUOTE]


hmm thats alot of prop for an 8xl... no wonder the esc went poof.

yes maybe a bit to much but it sure was fun and got it really moving. probably be okay for 1 minute run, i just ran it a bit to long

440/3 works good on that motor. I liked it anyway..

Since experiencing a slight thermal issue with the CC 240LV on the 31" H&M [ Neu 15151Y/4S2P/M545]; I decided to try the Seaking 180 I just got from Sailr. Here's my first impressions/results :

1) Sturdy looking, with heavy wires, looks waterproof/resistant. I corrosion X'd the outside exposed contacts just in case, 'tho.

2) Included program card { It's a box } was a piece of cake to use; makes pit-programming a snap [ no Computer + link needed lakeside ]

3) @ 1.5-min. all-out running : 115 degrees. Nice.

4) Throttle curve was VERY VERY nice.

5) Cooling inlets/outlets are 90 deg. from front/back. Could be tough to plumb in narrow tubs. No problem with monos/cats/hydros

I really like this SC, especially for the price. With claimed 180 A continuous/ 360 A burst, it's a great deal, especially if it holds up over time.

these look nice were do you get them?

i dont want to jack properchoppers thread but yes i normally run a
m440/3 or a pranther 215
they m545 has been okay, i think the problem was were i run is usally fairly rough water and the MM runs very well, but the day i was running the water was rather flat but there was a very high wind running across the surface, the boat goes well when running with the wind but against it the wind rams to much air up the tunnel causing the rear to lift (small hop) causing the prop to load and unload
this is my theory any way as every other time were the water is choppy and no huge wind blowing it runs fine with temps at the caps and end motor bearing around 120-125 deg after 1.5 min run

but if sailer has any more he has them for $115 posted with a programing box
if im correct

[bustitup]

lol no $89 u.s or $97 a.u
still not bad for a 180 amp water cooled esc that can be programed with a $8 box

if you are refering to the price from hobby city for frequent members how do you get it shipped for free?


my price is $89 also but its 20 bucks to ship it to usa

[bustitup]

there it goes

I am curious as to why you refer to the tx as the "crappy" tactic

[sailr]

You got it. Sold to TTH

I "MAY" have more. Still waiting for responses.

I will take it Jim ...... sent you a PM

[sailr]

Yeah! I resemble that remark. I use Tactic radios and they are GREAT. No, they are not a computer radio but 'back in the day' we didn't have them and we learned to set the boats up mechanically. EASY EASY EASY! I especially like the fact that the tactic receiver has NO ANTENNA! Hoooray!

yes I love my tactic after using spektrum dx3.0 and having issues with runaway boats

for any amount of money I find it works great and yes no antenna is thick thick iceing

I'm just wondering if chopper knows something that we havnt discovered yet about the tactic

[sailr]

You are correct but that price is shipped in the U.S. If outside the U.S., you need to add $20.
