New Hobby King Cat (Surge Crusher)

Yea my typhoon felt like it was sitting in the sun for a half hour after a 7min WOT run. Not very warm without water cooling. But that was the 1100kv version.

the typhoon 600h fits on the stock mount good or what? i noticed its abit bigger in diameter than the 500h so i didnt get it.

It fits perfectly! i was planning to run it on 8s and a turnigy 100amp hv esc BUT the esc gets out of sync with the motor and i was pretty mad about it! so i went with a 120amp aquastar and huge prop on 6s.

Well so much for waiting untill spring. I went with the 180 amp turnigy and the typhoon 500 motor last night.
Let's hope it's here before the temp gets below zero.

Timing help

Well, first run after winter for me. One run with 2x 2s and a couple of run's with 5s setup(3+2 s)

I got the 180 esc and a Turnigy 500 outrunner 1600KV. I would like to get some timing recommendation's for this motor. It got hot with the 5s run's. Like to hot to touch the first 5 mins and nice and fingerwarming the next 5.

Thanks.

Set your timing up. It will get hot with low timing. Advance it to 15 at minimum. It's an 8 pole motor. =)

I run one in a 24" mono on 6s and doesn't get hot, just warm.

[maxmekker]

Will do m8, thanks. I had 11,25 today.
Is there a guide somewhere to tell timing on different motors( and what type of motor likes high/low timing ,like you say ,it's an 8 pole motor )

thanks

Lipo for stock 50amp esc

Hi newbie here , just got myself a Surge Crusher, everything is still stock. May like to ask , how many mah lipo is more than enough to power this boat.

Cause I plan to use 30c two 2s lipo 4000mah? Is 4000mah more than enough. My main point is not to burn or overstress the esc.

Cause some members here say running on 3300 mah 30c two 2S, after a full run the esc and motor is pretty hot.

Thanks

Well, I would say, get a 125/ ore 180 amp hobbyking esc asap.( the 180 is big,and a tight fit in the hull) but on stock electronic , 4s is more than enough I would say. I burned the ecs on 5s with a prather 215.
Here all stock with 4s+ prather 215 prop.

here stock with 4s first and then on 5s, all stock(prather 215)

Ok noted thanks maxmekker. Btw have u heard or use before Birdy boat esc from Hobbyking?

[maxmekker]

nope. Only the 180 amp , and I got one of this for spare, but sold it before I tried it.

HK-B125A (Enter in search bar)
I did however, remove the heat sink, sanded it down smooth and reset it with thermo dob.sided tape, since it was only touching 2 of the chips on the ecs

I would say, get the the 125 /180 amp + prog card ecs

Look like some of the people use heli or plane brushless motor for boat, is this ok?

And is there any website, thats tell newbie like me , what is the motor speed for which size motor and suitable esc to match with.

Many thanks
