My 2nd UL-1

[detox]

I like this hull so much that I purchased a second one. This is the latest version with the new improved larger capacitor on esc. Kick Ace

Sweet, gotta love the new cap. You running stock or swapping out motor and esc?

I'll be running stock with this hull. I once used the Nue 1515 1y motor in my other hull and boat was a rocket. Here's picture:

were you running a hydra 120 with that 1515? If so, how'd she hold up?

I ran a Hydra 120 and a 1515 1Y for a long time before the 120 decided to act funny. It was def stressful on the 120 though.

Hydra 120 ran for a good while using the small m440 prop, but when I switched to the larger m445 the Hydra 120 just quit and died (no fire). Hydra 240 is needed.

that bigger cap is stock on this esc?

Yup. I believe is 35v as well. One of the major things the changed with the new batch of UL's. I love it.

Do you believe there is any need for additional caps to be added to the newer ESC?

Right on Aquacraft!

I'm pretty sure their using the same ESC in the brushless cat they're coming out with so with that being said their new boat should have this giant cap on it as well. At least I hope it does.

I have a Mean Machine that runs awesome, but I cannot wait for this new Cat from Aquacraft!

Same here. I'm starting to lose patientence. I've got $400 just asking to be spent, just hope I can hold out. I may settle for dare I say a Venom boat (http://www.venom-group.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=VEN%2D1816), but I really don't want to do that. Hopefully AQ comes out soon.

Yes...the earlier esc using the small cap was prone to capacitor failure when toying around. Too much stop and go driving, using larger prop than recommended, etc. will cause this.

I wish they had replaced those crappy thin 4mm motor/esc connectors also. Sometimes these will get hot and become unsoldered causing boat to stall on water. I will replace these using beefier 5mm bullets

Here's another pic of my new UL-1. I love this shot:

Detox,

I see you are still using the wife's range for a display case...lol...

I still say that the UL-1 is one of my most favorite boats. Are there are any other improvements other than the esc caps?..
