It's really starting to get moving now! Looks like the new ESC is giving the motors full potential now.

That's a neat little rigger! Didn't know they made one that small, what's under the hood? (HatchI was going to the pond in Atl. today but got up to 20 mph winds. I thought I'd wait until late afternoon to see if the winds died down but it didn't happen.
I talked the Mrs. into going to the local park to see if I could get some more testing done.
It's hard to believe it runs in this crap!! Can't believe the Mrs. agreed to this little trip either.

I'm going to get back out this week and do some more prop testing. I'm excited about this thing.
Stay tuned.

PS Rod may not get this boat back!!

Judging from how rough it was out there and how fast it still was I bet that thing'll rip when you get it on anything close to glass..Comment

Hey this is off topic but ive been looking for you. Is your novak setup a sensored or sensorless design?Comment

see post #40
I have listed all the links to what motor and battery we used....the ESC listed
wasn't filling the bill so we are testing some others....
The ESC you see in the last video was a 80 amp Castle Baracuda [sp] which is no longer made....there was no water cooling in the prototype and it is running with no heat issues.Comment

Not sure about speed Bill. I plan on putting a GPS (somewhere on it lol) when I land on ''the" set up prop wise.

Doug,
You may want to try an x632. It seems to do well in many of the micro models we've run. Otherwise a Y535 cut down to 32mm may be the ticket. Otherwise, I have a Propshop 3214 you could try if you feel inclined. I also have a Tenshock 32x36 steel prop that might be fun to try. The profile features back-cut to unload. Just let me know, I don't mind loaning to you for testing.
If you get it hooked up with those sizes, I have a Tenshock CNC aluminum P/N TSJ-K4834, 34mm, total pitch right at 48mm. That should break into the low 60mph range if it will handle it.
On our Renegades, we run a V935/3 cut down to 32mm. However, with that high of RPM, I don't think it is appropriate at all. That thing would be doing upwards of 75+mph if it hooked up with that prop. Who knows how hot it would get!IMPBA: 7-Time FE World Record Holder "Don't think outside the box. Rather, refuse to admit that the box exists in the first place!"

Sure, let me look. I know in the past, it took me a long time to find.

A Turnigy Push 60 amp esc should do the trick. Not cheap but you get a great esc for the money and I doubt you will need to cool it. It is designed for an airplane but, the Plush esc's calibrate fine with pistol grip.
Thats the esc I would run if and when I make one of these. I've got that little inrunner already kicking around.
