50 amp esc for shock wave

[gearhd48]

For what it's worth I posted new pics of my SW26 if you are thinking of going this direction to learn.

Also that ESC I mentioned can handle 14.8 volt batteries if you decide to go nuts! Keep I mind that you can use this stuff in 31- 33 hulls like the Delta force 33''. Again this hobby can be expensive to learn. I've had 2 SW26 and am happy with the 35mph with this one and I'm tuning the Delta force 35" now. Take your time and read and think things out and continue to ask questions.

Gearhead thanks for the info and advise. I am very happy with the speed now .as I am still learning to control and steer. need a lot more experience .but totally enjoying the hobby

Glad to hear it!!

if I do install the 50 amp esc will I need to do anything with the radio?

you will need to program the new esc to suit your motor winding / lipo cells / low voltage / etc, also you must set the throttle calibration so the esc reads full throttle when the tx is at full throttle.

egads that sounds pretty involved .will I require new tools? meters?

[rol243]

with a new esc you will either use the supplied set up manual to program the new esc by counting the number of beeps etc etc or you can purchase a cheap programming card suited to your specific esc brand. either way its not a hard task.

If it's the quacraft 50 it has nothing to set, just plug and go! The radio and receiver is when you need to synchronize them!

[rol243]

so the aquacraft 50 amp esc doesn,t need any programming for your motor and battery readings ? thats weird.

Yea your small Proboat, Aquacrft ESC's are just a brick with wires. The stock shockwave one doesn't have anything for programming.

Thats nuts. i have small 10 amp turnigy esc,s that come with a programming manual.
