1st run cobra 2 tunnel (question)

[dan hutchinson]

i ran my new boat for the first time today. (cobra2) it ran well but i think i didnt have the right prop but anyways after many laps it slowed down and stopped and the motor wouldnt spin over anymore, i did have sterring thou. is this common ? could it have reached the cut off point ??

[JimClark]

How long did you run? definitely sounds like the low cutoff point

Could be a possibility , how long were you for and how many miliamps the battery took when you recharge it

[dan hutchinson]

im not sure of how many miliamps it took . but it was reading 13 volts when i plugged it back in to recharged it. you know i really dont know what im doing and i should probally wait to get some help. im a nitro guy and this battery / charger is confusing to me

Dan if you're using a 4s (cell) lipo battery then 13 volts would mean it had 3.25 volts left per cell. That's discharging it way too low and was probably kicking in the low voltage cutoff.

thanks everyone. i think i just ran it to long. i was having way to much fun and probally need to excerise some control. its clear i dont have the right prop either. anyone have a m445 they want to sell ??

[ron1950]

[marko500]

Dan, trade you a m445 for a Cobra 2. LOL Just kidding.

[ron1950]

[Serpents811]

Dan call me tomorrow to arrange shipping on my boat and don't forget NOT TO RUN THE BOAT FOR NO MORE THAN 2 1/2 min and check your temps

[marko500]

Ron I might be willing to bid up to 2 m445 props and maybe even another one of his choice from my prop box. LOL

sorry guys !! i gave away the older cobra 1. but this new design i wont, the price for a FE cobra 2 is 225.00 i currently run one in stock and one in mod nitro and the boat runs super. ive placed in the top 3 everywhere ive been and this new one in FE will finish out my fleet. keep an eye out for video of it running, coming real soon.

Dan, i have a Cobra hull set-up with a 2560kv motor and a 120A esc on 4S 6000mah. Running high 40`s to low 50`s. Dont know if`s the old or new hull, but it`s tracking perfect even at full speed in the corners. Great boat! See my boat under Cobra, Show off your rcboat-picturs
