I attached a video of my BJ29 V3 and am looking for opinions to get the most speed out of this setup before I change props. It peaked at 66.2 mph but I feel like it has more in it. Hull is running flat with no bounce at speed but I feel like it could be a tad bit higher in the nose so maybe a bit more pos strut angle....? Or is the strut too high sucking the rear down? Not sure if you can tell in the video as I had to drive one handed and hold my phone at the same time.
Right now strut is about 1/8” higher then sponsons and about nuetral.
I only do speed runs and don’t race so before everyone says it should be on 4s, I know.
Mods are minimum and as follows
OSE flex
OSE strut
X642 prop
Leopard 4082 2000kv
Sanded sponsons to knock down some of the wave high spots on the surface
Knife edge sharpened the rudder
Stock 120 ESC. - 180 coming soon.
ABC 1716-17-45 coming soon
Any other prop suggestions to get the most out of it? I bought a ABC 1816-17-45 but it shuts the stock ESC down. Not sure if the 180 can handle it.....?
Last thing, motor is cool when done at about 105-110 deg. But wiring and Deans connectors are hot. I am assuming it’s due to the ESC and ESC wiring being marginal but looking for opinions if things will actually run cooler once I upgrade the ESC.
Thanks!!!
