Hopefully if the wind and lake are calm enough i'll get my project boat in the water for it's maiden voyage over the weekend!! What are some things i should be looking for?
How about Temps? I've read different things but what are good ESC, battery, and motor temps to look for? I have a laser temp quage so i can get accurate temp readings and don't have to just rely on my hands. I am running DTX4600 NiMh's with an ETTI 150a BEC ESC and Faigeo 540 9xl motor, with seperate water pick-up's for the motor and ESC. I plan to start with either an X440 or X442 prop, which would be better? I also have a few Panther 215's but i would think they might be to small.
My biggest concern is this V-bottom is on the heavy side, quite heavier than my SV27, i hope this motor, ESC and batteries combo will handle it. Lipo's will come later. Thanks, so far you guy's have been a big help.
