Rio EP run impressions.

[Karfrik]

Need twin rudder measurements from the Rio EP.

can any of you guys tell me the Lenght x Width of this rudders? also how wide is the transom mounting bracket and distance between mounting screws also?......I`m looking to fit one to another boat i have and the price is not bad for a double-rudder setup.thanks in advance for your time,......Albert/karfrik

I haven't used the C-35, but I use the Electri-Fly C-55 in several of my cracker boats and it's my favorite brushed ESC. When you lose signal the boat stops until the signal is re-aquired...no wide open bonzi runs and its easy to program.

I cooked my first one last week in my Pro Boat Chris Craft Run About. I was running a Titan 12turn and it worked great with a 4700 NiMh 6 pack...but when I dropped in a 5250 7.4v MaxAmp lipo pack it only made it through one pack and part of another before it died. I did let it cool off between runs. And I only ran the 1st pack to 50% discharge before bringing her in. I think the combo of the 12T and the Lipo was too much for the ESC. I replaced the ESC with a new C-55 and replaced the 12T with a Titan Marine 23 Turn motor. Haven't tried it yet but I hope it won't cook off another ESC.

Hello,
I have just purchased a Rio EP and what sold me was when you said it liked rough water. I like speed but I like wake busting(jumping ) better. My question to you is when you used the S 600 motor what size prop did you use and om the motor how many capacitors did you install? I am getting the C-55
ini btushed ESC for safety sake,
Thanks
austin

Hello, I am a new member and read your post on the C-55 ESC. Did you run your Rio EP with the TiIan Marine 23 turn motor/ How did it work and was there an increse in speed over the stock Motor in the RioEP.
Thanks
