set up

[luke]

i got ten cells a seventeen turn motor. the boat hits maybe 15 mph. but it is the most impressive off the line ive ever seen. it jumps out of the water. but i want more speed. is it all up to prop tuning now or should i try a motor with less turns. its a new motor and the drive train is running very smooth.

Luke in order to help you out @ all we need to know what hull, esc & hull dimentions.

Ten cells is just too much for a single 05 brushed motor, it will burn out quickly. I would definately not go to a lower turn motor. Like SJFE said, we need to know more about your setup - hull, prop, controller, etc.

however a 17T motor on 10s sounds like a great setup for a boat any smaller than 25". As long as temps on batts are ok I would prop up. If you dont wanna chance temps getting too high just try more pitch since you are grabbing outta the hole.

providing you are speaking of 10cells nimh or nicd. sorry. JUST my opinion

It's a 24" long hull, 10" wide and it's an 05 motor and the ESC is rated for 45 amps. I'm using 12 gague wire soldered deans connectors. The motor is water-cooled, but the ESC is not. The prop is a Graupner 2 blade 40 mm diameter 56 mm pitch. That's the biggest prop that I have that I'm running.

Oh, the hull is simple ABS plastic. An old Viper.
