Finally got around to do an upgrade

[eocv]

Running now a Leopard 4074 2000kv motor and Leopard 180A esc with an octura m545. Now it is not the slowest FE from our group lol.

Don't have a gps so i cannot tell how much is pushing. Will need to do that. Temps are around 110-115 degrees F.

Looks like the post from my phone was incorrect on the temp. The run was 110-115 degrees F, 4 minutes. 4s.

That is cell, esc , motor, ? Temps.
And on what cells ?

Leopard 4074 motor on 4s (2s x 2). 180A esc. 110-115 degrees on motor and esc. 120 degrees on batteries.

Ok that is good on the temps,
But what ( C ) and what ( MAH ) and what ( MAKE ) cells ?

Sorry lenny. 30c, 5000 mah, sky lipos from hobbypartz.

Ok,
If you go up in the ( C ) to like a 40 or more you will see more power and speed out of it,
And may be it will run a little cooler to.

It is nice when you get the hole info on the setup,
Makes thing a lot easier to know what is going on.

Thanks for all the info.

Thanks for the advise lenny. Will keep it in mind when i get some new batts. I'm very happy with the motor/esc/prop upgrade.

No problem,
You could also parallel with 4s packs to.
It would add a little weight to the setup,
and I think the boat what handle some chop better to.

Hi EOCV. Just got my Revolt and planning on doing some upgrades. I’m from Canovanas PR. Maybe we can get in touch. Where did you get the motor from? Some sites won’t ship to PR or have a high shipping cost.
