Apparition upgrade

[penz]

Ran my app today, did a few laps and then brought in to check temps, motor cool, esc warm at 120. Everything was good so I put it back on the water to run it, and i ran it hard! Many speed laps and big full speed circles untill i hit low voltage cutoff. Brought her in and a couple concerns... still getting some slight water in but nothing major, major problem was esc at 200 degrees!!!! Obviously it can not handle full throttle for extended periods of time... But amazingly its still functioning. Motor was still cool though at 113 degrees, very happy with the tacon.
I see a seaking 180 in my near future

Other than that the boat ran/handeled very well.

I will agree these things are fast!
I got one last week due to peer pressure. Both my brother and friend I run boats with have cats, one an apparition and one miss geico.
I had to have one.
First day of running I took my setup out of my sv27
Etti 150 esc
Fiego 8xl
5000mah turnigy 40c packs running 4s
Sharpened and balanced octura m445

53.6 mph per the gps
Motor temps were great 120's
Esc in the 180's

Third day of running the boat and i think i killed my esc. Caps were about 320 when i got to them, and very swollen. Pushing the esc apart.
Its a few years old and the capacitors are TOAST. Oh well, good excuse to try out the hydra ice 240.
Strange it died through, my brothers did the exact same thing 3 days before mine. Bothe etti's were about 2 1/2 years old. And i have been running this same setup in the sv with no problems.

The water getting in is because the strut is not sealed with that little teflon bushing. I had the same problem with water in my boat until i tightened of the drive to the strut and put some grease in the strut as well and the stuffing tube.
Now I have no more leaks.
