Ok guys I have a spare 15t motor laying around still new in its package and I wonder is it possible to run this with the stock esc? What is the esc turn limit?

I highly suggest new esc, stock is garbage. I burned 2 of them up. To answer your question it is listed at 27t.

ok thanks!

I think the weak link on this boat is the esc..

[illz302]

Yea UPDATE I ran this new boat today at the local lake and about halfway through my 4000mah 2s 25C lipo the esc gave out. So when I got home I realized wait a minute I have all the electronics out of my Apache 24 which is under construction right now so I did some soldering and moving of things and came up with this.......


It should do for now in a few weeks I am going to get a VXL3S system from my friend. And i will run that with a better cooling jacket on the motor with a 3s and see where it goes from there!

Those are much better of an esc

yea i think im going to run a cheapo 19t bb mod motor from my lhs for now im actually thinking now that the vxl will do much better in the apache so ill use the rio for rescue purposes LOL not that its not loved!

I think that may be to much kv for a apache. VXL motor is 3500kv correct? Anything above 30mh on a apache I read the hull cant handle. Good luck though, I would love to see if you can get it working right

Cool, glad it is working well for you. After I blew my second one I bought a waterproofed xl-5. A little more $$$ for a brushed esc but sometimes I don't mind paying for peace of mind.

Diesel here is one on a 3600kv motor and 3s everything else besides the esc of course is stock and it seems to be fine to me. Now keep in mind i understand it will need to slow down some before turning sharply but it seems to handle ok here......

You sure that's a 3600kv motor on 3s and a 42mm prop?
it is faster than stock but not 40k rpm.

What motor are you running with the Traxxas esc?

[illz302]
