atomik arc 58" upgrading to 10s possible 12s need help
just purchased the atomik arc 58" rc cat. Picked up new for 500 ive seen them before for upto a 1000 wich is way over priced but i feel like i got a good deal so with the extra cash i got i would like to start upgrading it ive looked at the turnigy aquastar 730 kv and at the 5692 leopard 730 would either of these be good choices for this boat and what hv esc would be good for this if i dont have to spend 300-400 on an esc that would be nice but at the same time i want to do it right the first time what about the seaking 130 hv? I read the aquastar pulls 128amps max on 10s with it set on the y wind you can also wire it in delta i think its called for 1280kv but that would be pulling alot more amps i beleive. So any suggestions on what to do i sure could use some advice. ..

That is a great deal is there more? I love the size and design of the boat. -
Gee, everyone is wanting rather than giving!
What are your expectations for the boat? A 730 Kv motor is a good choice for 10S, but you should use an ESC with at least 180 amp capacity. You will pull more than that getting that big boat up on plane, and depending on how you prop it and drive it, 130 amps is simply too little. I have little experience with the Chinese HV ESCs.

I have seen Wilmers Atomik arc 58" it was great looking. He ran the boat consistantly at about 45MPH to 50MPH with the stock setup.
Jay I was not awake enough to speak my opinions on motors and had to think about it. I have or would put a 2230 1Y in the boat if it was me on 10S2P. That will pusj the boat a little faster than he wants. I got one of the Turnigy AquaStar T20 3T 730KV/1280KV Water Cooled Brushless Motor to try our they say it produces 7HP but can not recommend a motor I have not tested.Comment

The windows did pop out on Wilmers I would take a tube of liquid nails and put a bead around the inside to reinforce the join before you run it. .Comment

I travel 45 minutes to a pond that is big enough to attain the speeds I want it is about 1000ft by 500ft. When I want to go faster I travel 380 Miles to Legg lake in southern California it is about 5000 feet long. I do not get to do that often enough. But my course in Fremont is 380 feet long and a 85 foot diameter that I go around.
When I run on the small pond 300ft. X150ft. my speeds are down 10 to 15MPH. I would say the course on the small pond is 200ft. X50ft.
We need rain too!Comment
