OSE 700SC Super on 20 Cell

[fragglez]

Just checked, I've got a 2318.45 to hand which seems to be the same spec as the 2317.45

I think I did try the 2317.45 on 16 cell but didn't seem to shift that well so tried a higher pitch. will have a play

Cheers!!

does anyone know what the stats are of the 700sc? can not seem to find it on here http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/mot...otor_table.htm

cheers

It survived!!
I tried it on 20cell and the only parts that got hot after about a minute of running was the cables, but saying that I didn't push it all the way to the max that much.
I then tried it on 10cell which was interesting, then tried it back on 16 cell which seems to run best of all. I might try 14 Cell see if lightness over weight will give me a bit more.

Still using the G2327.42 prop

Here are some Vids

Talking about 700`s....

would a 700SC or ss1 take Lipos with an Astroflight 212D and watercooling everything? if so what size lipos 7.4 2s 20c or 25c? have anyone done it before?............Thanks,Albert

At the end of the second run everything was warm but not hot or frying, 1- 2 minute stints seem to be the max , would not want to push it any more than that. Good Fun though!!

Nope, did look at it, but too expensive + you would need to get a ESC that supported LiPO or get a device to ensure you dont over drain the batteries.

How fast is it going? have you gps it? also any temps taken?.......looking good,...Albert/karfrik

[fragglez]

Have not got a clue how fast its going 30ish?

I messed up today!! took it out and i've got two poorly insulated cables that come from the motor and plug into the speed controller, they touched eachother and melted together causing the speed controller to trip out in the middle of the pool. fished it back in and had a look inside, did not notice the melted wires touching, reset the controller went to try it and fried it big time.
So now need to find a new esc that supports high volts and amps either another Graupner Power MOS 60 or a jeti 600 me thinks.

unfortunately I have no temp readings either only a bit of a novice at this as you can probably tell

Gutted!!

What area is that you live in you Scottish sheep shagger

[fragglez]

HaHa Wrong end of the UK Boi!! I be in the land of Cornwallestishire!! ... still sheep shagging territory though!

[Flying Scotsman]

Where in Cornwall, that is a great looking spot. ....Go with LI-PO, brushless motor and a suitable ESC, your wallet will be greatfull. Is that seawater?

Douggie

[fragglez]

It's a fishing town called Looe , place called the mill pool its seawater yea!! see map!!

My bro has a highwind too, we bought the hulls for a fiva each and have competitions once or twice a year, He's tried stock, Nitro and now got a brushless setup in his
http://www.prestwich.ndirect.co.uk/brushless.htm Hes got a BL3 and some speed controller they supplied for £90 and today was the first time he beat me, but admittedly I did not charge me batteries up from yesterdays run so think I might have had him otherwise. he runs his on 18v Drill Batteries LIPO but gets no extra speed after half throttle so don't know if hes got the wrong prop on it.

I've tried Brushless in other boats and its been a nightmare for me, I've spent too much on this boat now to convert it to LiPo and Brushless!! unless there is a full setup out there that is cheapish....

You may wish to ditch it and buy a Delta 29 or 33. Salt water is not great to run in, you have to be be very dilligent after every run. A cost for a 40mph Delta would be in the region of 300 to 400 Euros for a budget setup not including batteries.

[fragglez]

HaHa!! 300-400 euro!! I don't use it enough to justify that much money!! mate!!

Maybe one day when me 700sc comes to the end of its life!!

How fast do you guys think this boat is going?

[fragglez]

Are these ESC's any good?

RC-Hydros Victory 90 amp conventional ESC's 90-1032/opto.
1032 will work from 10 to 32 cells. Both are opto isolated sealed and watercooled.)
