Apparition on 6s with typhoon 1800kv

[Pompel]

Have you tested the boat more with this setup?
How many cells do you recommend for a trustworthy boat? Is 6 cells too much?
How long run time you will get with this setup?
Was it just to bolt the engine right in or was it much modification?
I wish to mount the same engine as you are in a Genesis, but is unsure how many cells and how many mAh I should run?

[Graeme]

I have run this set up lots on 4s2p very reliable everything stays cold.
It runs a constant 40mph and last 15-20 minutes on 5000mAh packs.

I have not tried 5s to see if things stay cool.
I would imagine it's just a matter of finding the right prop combo to run 6s and keep the heat down.

The only thing I modified to make the motor fit was the motor.
I cut around 5mm off the shaft as it was much longer than stock motor shaft other then that it bolts right in.

I should have my Genesis this week and I am going to try this motor out in it as well.

I tried the typhoon in my genesis today and it sucks.
too much boat for the motor.
It's slower than stock and gets too hot.

The Typhoon is a tad too small for the Genisis but, what props did you try? Did you use 6S?

You would have been better off with the newer Large Heli motors, H600 4030, 1400KV.

This motor on 5S2P will be over 50mph as in my 29" 3.5lb (bare hull weight) cat. Go like the clappers! on 10,000mah total 5s2p 25C 4yr old poly rc cells, Turnigy 180 and a detongued x450 2 blade.

[Graeme]

I tried 4s with the stock prop. which I think is a 38 mm
I want to run a 6s set up in the genesis so I will look for a suitable 600 class heli motor.

I found some stuff on the tube, This might be of interest to some.

what do you use for a collet for that 6mm shaft ?

OSE usually stocks the 6mm couplers, Jeff sells them too. You can also take a 5mm octura collet to a local machine shop and ask them to increase the size to 6mm. They are hardened to tough to drill on the bench.

Thanks going to get one from Jeff once I get my credit card back..
discovered some unauthorized transactions on the card

Yeah, sorry, needed some parts.


I'm with Ray on this, I would go with the T600 in the Apparition, or the shorter 406x leopard. The 4074 is a bit too long and requires some modification of the motor mount to fit under the hatch.

[Graeme]

going with the T600 in the Genesis I am very happy with the typhoon in the Apparition.

Ok so I switched out the Turnigy 180a esc with a 120 Turnigy aquastar.
The 180 went into the Genesis
and I am not very impressed with it. The boat seems to runs much slower.
Only thing I can think is that the timing is off. options are as follows
Right now I have it on Auto does anyone have experience with these ESC's?

Option 1: Low advance timing
0°~15°
Recommended for more lower pole count motors. Gives more power and
slightly less efficient.

Option 2: middle advance timing
5 °~ 20 °
Recommended for most motors .Gives a good balance of power and efficiency.

Option 3: High advance timing
15° ~ 30 °
Recommended for most of higher pole count motors
Option4:Auto(default)
Recommended

Hmmm...never thought of going the outrunner motor method. Didn't realize it was cheaper!!

Do you think this motor on 4S would be good in a BJ26 length 26 7/8in (660mm)? Maybe 6S if propped correctly?

Or be able to power a 30+ inch Vegas brushless conversion on 4S? 32.25in (820mm)?

[Graeme]

I have on in a scratch build 27 inch deep V seems to be a little too much power for it but I am sure it's a balance thing.
