New motor and ESC and timing

[hyrulejedi86]

So, I got a metal prop, assembled my new drive system in my Rio EP and ran it this past weekend.

I have some video of those runs here:

Looks nice, do you have any photos of the interior? Also how hard was it to set up?

[hyrulejedi86]

It has taken a while to get to this point. I've changed out the original motor with the one in this thread and gotten new couplers and a new ESC but It's work well now. I will have to take a picture sometime here and post it up soon. Perhaps tomorrow.

Here is that picture of the inside of the boat.

hey hi rule my name is shannon i noticed your using a similar combo that im going to use in the near future just the 90 amp seaking and the seaking 3060 kv motor and im also going to use the same dimention prop as you.

I was wondering if your boat is torqueing to the right, and if so how did you go about combating that as some people recommended changing the drive to an adjustable stinger drive and off set rudder have you made any of these changes.

I definetly have torqueing to the right and haven't found a good way to remedy it. I have only put the battery on the left to help offset it which helps but it doesn't solve it. I also have used a 3 blade prop once which stabilized it alot but it had a drop in speed from it.

thanks hirule, yer sounds like im in for some fun lol.

Anyways a few members on here suggested goin with an adjustable strut set up im thinking of going with an sv27 strut as its well in my budget and it looks cool and is adjustible,

anyways i hope all goes well wih your rio if you come up witth a good solution it would be good to know thanks p.s your set up looks awesome.
