How long are you running for at wot for it to get hot, the FSD 2 pole motors are not the most efficient motors around & do tend to run quite hot. Ive seen more fsd motors in varying sizes burn out than any other motors as their a popular motor that are fitted to rtr boats.

The Warrior hull is a very stable hull probably more stable than most mini mono hulls around, to loosen the hull give the strut a bit of positive angle ( up prop end ). Also depends how much hook their is in the hull as it will stick to the water like glue with hook.Comment

My motor gets warm... certainly not hot though. No matter what I did with the strut angle, I was not able to get more of the hull out of the water. I flipped the boat over and discovered a fair amount of hook. I filled in the hook with Dolphin Glaze "body filler" and sanded until flat. I ran the boat again, with the same result, hull deep in the water. Then I installed a detailedTFL x432 metal prop... wow, what a difference, now she rides on top of the water.Comment

I'm not running till LVC but I'm probably hitting 4 minutes. It sucks that they put the water outlet on the starboard side as it's hard to tell how well the water stream is coming out. Also, the battery mounting is very far forward, only bad thing about glass is that you can't unscrew the battery mount and move it more stern.Comment

I read a few posts here and elsewhere that talks about battery placement. I know the manual shows the battery really far forward. I read a good place to start is about 2" from the transom. Essentially switched the rx and battery positions. I haven't timed mine, and I have only hit LVC once, but I would have to guess it's closer to 6 minutes.Comment

The problem is not the battery needs moving to the rear, i run my battery in the stock position. Its 5" in from the transome to the battery, the cg position needs to be 4.75" in from the transome.The boat will not run fast enough & get the hull out of the water on the stock prop which is an x430, this is why Joysway sell x432 & x435 props as upgrade props for this boat. These propswill run much faster also lifting the hull more out of the water, you need to keep an eye on run times & temps even more with these props .Comment

When you upgrade the esc from the 30a stock one you can then go to Octura metal props where their much thinner blades with no flex in the blades which will also be faster still with even more of the hull coming out of the water running right up on the v with no chine walk at all. Once you get past a certain point though you will need to add trim tabs to the hull.Comment

Yeah, tried moving the battery back to the rear, boat ran pretty fast........and then overturned. Had I not stuffed some of the foam the boat came packed with into the nose, I would have been diving. Moving the battery to the back kills the self-righting. Hitting throttle won't self-right it. Time to put more foam in the back.Comment

Looks like I'll be getting mine next Tuesday. What's the prop shaft dia. on this boat btw?Comment

Same as the Super Mono X RabosiComment

I ordered on 8/28 and got notification of shipping 9/6. Even though the purchase is processed by Ordersmax it looks like Joysway actually ships the product...... ala Amazon I suppose.Comment

Well got mine in today, a day early. I did not notice any glaring discrepancies except that the stickers had bubbles or were raising up in certain spots. Also there was a hole on the left rear top of hull where I suppose an antenna mount should have been. I filled it with silicone since I plan on leaving the antenna inside. I will finished checking it out tomorrow and hopefully can get it in the pond on Wednesday eve. I don't think that the flexing that MassiveOverkill cited will be an issue because the hull seems very rigid along it's linesComment
