ESC Turn Limit???

that video does not look like a VXL powered Rio ep on 3s..

it isnt but if the kv is the same than whats the difference?

What motor are you running with the Traxxas esc?

I was running a Titan 12t on a 7cell nimh. Hit 19mph with stock prop. I put the stock 550 back in though because I converted it to a rescue boat and needed lower rpm higher torque the stock motor had for pushing a stalled/flipped boat.

You said it was a VXL motor, now its not..
a VXL motor on 3s is a monster!
almost 40,000rpm and on the stock 42mm prop tha Rio ep would fly!

No i did not say the guy in the video was using a vxl system i said i am using the vxl system in mine and i was showing the video becuase it had a brushless system in it that had basicly the same kv rating and cell count

read post #13 and on..
I don't think the video you posted has a 3600kv motor on 3s, that would be right at 40k rpm and on the stock 42mm prop it would move out real fast
he is posibly using a 2s pack

im not saying that you said you were confused i was just clarifying for you 55. I dunno either that or its like a 15-20c 3s just a guess on my part. anyways ill be ordering 2s and 3s so i can try both.

Clarifying, I'm not sure what that means?
I was asking about the video not your setup, because the video looks slow for a 3600kv motor on 3s with a 42mm prop.
the video you posted that I was talking about looks more like he may have used a 2s pack or even a 6cell nimh pack with that motor and prop

[illz302]

hmmm interesting i will have to try the 2s first then and if im feeliing lucky and heat is low then ill try the 3s

Well I ran it with the current setup with the apache esc and the apache motor and the motor died within two runs on the 2s lipo. So then I swapped in a venom 15t motor I had laying around that was used once before for a run to test in the apache and within one run the apache esc died. Thats just my luck

the venom 15t sucks some amps, and they don't put down much power..
go brushless bro!

[illz302]

I am now considering I used all my leftover electronics up in this boat

Just have to wait for more money now

[Brushless55]

bummer!

My buddy blew his apache motor after only about 5 runs... SUX!!!
