    2200 kv on 6s is fun and extreme especially in a 37" boat. It's funny that if it was anybody else the whole board would be all over you. I did like the nice promotional video though.

        Looks like a cyberstorm. So more like 32inch hull with 5 inches of hardware. Lol

          Jeff,

          It wasn't the hit that took the servo out. The hit did break the mount loose but the BEC getting wet was what shorted out the servo. The new CC BEC has now been heat shrunk in clear shrink and the ends then sealed with black regular shrink tube to keep it from getting wet. As for the packs it was a pair of our 3s 6000XL packs. That's 6000 mAh at 22.2 volts. The 2200 is the KV rating of the CC monster motor not the Li-Po size. I think you misunderstood something.




          Baked Mopar,

          I guess I don't understand what you mean? Is there something wrong with running a boat on 6S?? It does well on 4S but 6S is a hoot. I guess I don't get why anyone would be attacked by forum members for doing this?

            I see why they put in the 240HV... he said it in the end... almost "this is too much power" what was missing was "for the way I have it set up" maybe some trim tabs action?
            Considering it was a new boat to Steve there wasn't much for set-up info at the time. Also considering it was my very first boat build and first time driving a boat with this kind of power I would say I did pretty well. It' pretty easy to say the things you said but I'm guessing it's harder for you to actually offer any help. Next time try to get the whole story before you gun somebody down like that. I will always gladly take advice and set-up tips from those who offer, but you have to offer first. Also I'm sorry my skills in boating aren't up to your high standards. I guess like anything else more time behind the wheel will be the best thing.

              6s on 2200kv is basically a SAW only setup. When the rpm is too high (48,000 rpm) prop efficiency will drop off significantly. That much rpm will also cause excessive driveline wear. Amp spikes from prop cavitation, and the spikes from the prop hopping in and out of the rough water can take out an esc pretty easily. That is generally a 4s motor for sport boating. Find the right prop, and it will fly on 4s! We try to run around 28,000 to 33,000 rpm for good fast sport boating or racing. However, if you want a fast SAW boat, more power to ya! just be careful. I'd suggest an eagletree to monitor your amps on that hot setup.

                    First Off Jason welcome to OSE! Cudos on the spot light for fast electric boating and OSE. I still have a pair of your first 2s2p 3300 mAh lipos I still run in my brushless e-maxx that are still going strong! (no way to balance charge them) keep playing with the boats we need more power solutions for fast electrics :D

                      First off, Welcome to the board. I am by all means not trying to attack you or your company. I have run some balls off the walls setups myself and yes it's a hoot. Just take a look at some of the other threads and you'll get a better idea.

                      To get your boat running better set your COG around 27-33%. Then I would start with your rudder, stinger, trim tabs all at neutral. Run it and take notice of the hull attitude. Make adjustments one at a time and in small incraments (1 degree or so).

                      Here are some links to help you understand some. There's alot of knowledgable people on this board that will help you sort out your rig.





                      Good Luck and Happy Boating.

                      Aloha,

                        Not sure, We'd have to see if Steve remembers what it was. I wish they were stamped LOL.

                        Not gonna be much help the V2 I have is only good to 100 amps max and the V3 only reads to I think 125 amps. Besides I feel the same way just another item to pop.

                        I realize and wasn't implying that you were attacking us here at MaxAmps.com. I was just wondering why users would get attacked for doing what we have done. Heck going outside of the box is how we learn. Thanks for the links I'm going to look at the info and see what I can do. If I remember correctly on dual trim tabs you adjust the outside tabs only???

                          On dual trim tabs I use the inner ones for straight line and the outer ones for turns.

                          Comming from a car/truck background myself we tend to run motors with a lot of rpm and gear down. With boats the opposite would be the norm.

                            Jason's 1st boat

                            Jason,

                            I know you for a few years now, from purchases I have made from maxamps. I have made the move from 1/8th scale converted car, to boats.

                            With that I have to say the Maxamps batteries in boats are super reliable. Much more so than your competitors.

                            As far as your 1st boat, mine was a 45" Insane mono with a the biggest Neu motor at the time, I had one of two of the 1st HV240 speed controls that came out, and I spent $1,200 on 12s2p 10,000 mah batteries.

                            It took me alot of boat builds to get it more under control. I but alot of stuff from OSE. He and your are both great guys, and have the demeanor to deal with all of us who may show our testy side.

                            All the best to you,

                            Jeff Lucca

                                Hey Jason, I must apologize for my comments. I should have offered more support. I was in a bad state of mind and would have done everybody a favor to not have posted in that moment. It was a great thing you did collaborating with the OFE board and I commend you for that.

                                Again, sorry for the unsolicited rant and keep up the great work! I still have lots to learn about FE boating myself and should not be so quick to criticize.

                                Looking forward to more videos from MaxAmps!!
