Seaking Boat ESC recalled by factory

[ray schrauwen]

Thanks Tony. Not too bad then. I can send back the motor also i bought that isn't usefull..

I bought a 20 x 30 5700 KV motor and picture showed a flat face but, I received a motor with the bearing sticking out.

I could Machine a plate out of Aluminum but, that defeats what i wanted, a short can motor. oh well.

I'll send it all back. Don't need the esc that bad yet...

I ran the SK 180 in my Q hydro this weekend. 1527/1Y Neu pulling about 90 amps average. No problem. 2.5 minute runs and the temps came back like this: Motor 102F (good cooling, ESC 104F, batts 115F. Boat runs in the 70's. running 9 second laps on the 1/8 mile course. 16 laps in 2.5 minutes. Made 2 runs (at lunch at our club race), same temps both times. ESC settings were: Forward only, 6 cells, 3.2V cutoff, 7.5 degrees.

I like this ESC.

I emailed the factory today to ask when the 'bug fix' would be done. I will have Seaking 35's, 120's, 180's, and program boxes coming in when they are ready.

I'm keeping my SeaKing. My buddy runs the other one I bought on a 2250 lehner on 6S in a mono. He disconnected the BEC.

I'm running my 180 on 6S w/o BEC as well.

I'm running it on 6S with the BEC driving a futaba 9156. No problem.
