New/NEU 3660 motor. Opinions?

[HTVboats]

Just noticed OSE is offering a spec/lmtd size motor for 4S racing. Very cool. I am very much in favor of a limited "P" type class which there has been discussion of a 36X61mm rule. This allows motor manufacturers that don't make hulls to enter a possibly booming market. Think about all the Roar car motors that they get $90-$120 bucks for and sell them like popcorn cause guys just have to get the latest rumor of an advantage. 10.5/13.5/17.5/25 classes size and you have spent hundreds over time but not like you were forced to ante' up $400 or more to be competitive. One hundred is affordable and they churn out thousands.
With a 36X61 can limitation spec racing won't die and may come to life a little more as guys just love to tinker. Tim the "tool man" and "more power" is engraved in most racers brains. Let the RTR manufacturers build and sell what makes their bottom line and we can put the equivalent of dual exhaust and 4 barrels on as we go.
So are the 36X61 rules in effect anywhere? Good or bad? Our Southwest Florida local pond is making an effort with less than 37mm diameter and 62mm length, 36.99 legal and 37.00 out. 61.99 in 62.00 out. Just for easy understanding and round numbers.
Has anyone put a new OSE Neu 3660 in a boat yet?

Well. all I've heard is that Steve has sold about 10 motors so far and he says: " So far so good". Anymore and we need to wait until people chime in...

Steve doesn't sell crap unless it was slipped in the back door without him noticing. Not that that has happened.

We run 37x62 up here in MI. No particular motor is dominating. The fear that someone could just out spend someone isnt proving itself. In fairness though, the season isn't over either.

The TP 1950 is pretty nice mid range. Both of the Proboat motors are strong. Although I have a LOT more faith in the 1500 vs the 2000. Better construction.

We have run the OSE motors too. They run pretty well. My son wounded one but I think we were way to aggressive with pitch. I still need to try the 1850.

What happened to the one you guys got a little hot with, and what was the setup? Just curious cus I've been looking at one of these, just been waiting to see what the verdict on them is

Ran the 2030 in a Stealth but with an H5 that had been outrageously modified. I don't think Ty realized which H5 he grabbed from the box. We have a few of them. Melted the enamel off the windings after the run. He drove it back to shore fine but once the heat soak started the motor was wrecked. Didn't even check the temp. There was no point. Smelled like the edge.

Ya that might have been a little too much pitch haha. Ahh yes, that smell....I think I can taste it a little just thinking about it

That's good to hear, haha.

what is the best prop to run the osc neu 36x60 2030 kv on 4s for raceing

What type of hull?

[T.S.Davis]

I think a good ole 42x55 is worth trying. Such an under rated prop. Works on most things too. Then you can tweak it to get a little more pitch without causing a fire. There is a newer and maybe smarter ABC equivalent with high rake but it's really tough to get ABC unless you're willing to buy it from a tuner like Dasboata or Buass. Both those guys do killer work but expensive when yer guess'n. Educated guesses but still guesses.

It's really going to depend on how "out of the water" the boat runs. Eventually I think I can get an M445 or to work but it will take some fiddling. Maybe an 1814.17.45. Again, guessing and depends on the boat.

it is a pro marine

What is?

[richard]

the boat is pro marine

[Mxkid261]

M445 is my go-to for most stuff

Terry, it's the "tweaking" that's the hard part! I'm gonna have to try bending some props some day... if you wanted more pitch, can you bend the ears down slightly?
