boat turns right better than left and heat!

[SweetZ28]

Well my 3300KV 3s apache set up for some reason turns better to the right is something wrong here?...se my set up in photo...
Also in the spring time it was staying cool now that it's hot like 90Deg it's to much and the motor is hitting 130deg and i had to stop the boat and the lipos where at 120deg how can you run lipo if they say 140Deg will kill them if it's 90 deg outside?

I think i should go with a lower KV motor for 3s on this 24 inch boat what KV would be good and keep things cool with decent speed?

THANKS

probably has to do with balance and maybe the rudder has more travel to one side than the other

Ditch the plastic/carbon prop and look at all drivetrain components

actually the platic parts don't flex to much i fused it together and i have a flex cable on it now.
could the steering rudder be to long for the boat will this cuse bad handeling to one side..... it kind of chops when turning one way and is not to smooth.
Also what KV for a 3s set up for a 24 inch boat would be ideal?

[Make-a-Wake]

It will always turn right a bit better as the rudder is on that side.........................hence racing being clockwise.

For 3s try a Feigao 540 10L.

dumb me for some reason i was thinking they raced in the other direction!!
Guess it's handeling pretty darn good then.... Now i just have to get the temps down.... anyone ? KV for 3s on a 24" boat?

I suggested a 10L above, maybe you didnt catch it...................2602kv.

Thanks mines a 3300KV and the batteries get hot would this 10L motor make things run much cooler?

Yes it will..............what size is your 3300kv? Is it a 36mm dia...........what length?

As suggested by others, get an Octura prop to throw on there.

Hi it's a hobbywing standard 540 sized motor.

I could be totally off base here but the plastic fin ahead of your prop may need to be trimmed off flush.

Hi I don't understand? I did cut the fin off that ran under where the prop shaft runs through this is a older photo of when it still had it on.

The reason that it turns better right is basically because of the direction your prop spins. Especially more noticable on small boats. Scale wise, look at the prop compared to the boat. It is HUGE! Not saying thats a bad thing, but turning left will definately suffer. Prop walk is making the starboard sponson dig and the port sponson lift. also 120 deg. is not bad for lipos at all. Let em heat up a bit.

been running a 9L on 3s wicked fast a little short on batt life but got two lipos(and some other things), 3600 3s on there way fron hobbycity

[SweetZ28]

I don't know with the lipos 120 is getting up there and i have my lipo LVC on 3.4V cell and it never got activated I fear trying to run it a bit longer because all the sudden 120 can jump to 140 or so. and that was 120 only after about 4 min or less running.
