Hey Guys anyone know what motor I can upgrade to with stock esc?

[Killah2469]

Thanks but I won't be trying my lipos tomorrow ya see my batteries came in the mail but my charger i'm still waiting for and that sucks hopefully it will come next week.
This jb weld is awesome and also easy to use so next time you have a helmet malfunction you should try it cause it worked for me and tomorrow my helmet will be strapped
on tight.

Hey,
May be you should make some boat bumper for it,
For those days that you roll your own and are malfunctioning driving the boat or heli.

Nice straight long runs to see how it riding and no hair pen turns yet.
How high are your trim tabs now ?


Look what I just ordered,
They will be hear Wednesday.http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=911441

Man nice buy i'm jealous the 911 are great but I've never tried the 9958s but I can't see them being to bad at all.
My trim tabs are about an 8th of an inch high and I think I've given up on hairpin turns for awhile until I
get a bigger place to run but that's ok I can go faster in a straight line which is more fun anyway.

I run again today with a 3s 30c 5300mah pack,
And adjust my trim tabs down a hair or so.
But it still will fly off the water if I go full throttle with it,
It hit a gps speed of 41.6mph today.
Than on next run it did a death wobble,
And than a 180 at about 36mph and bent the rudder bracket a little,
It still has more power to put to the water.
I just need to make it run wetter and may be add some weight to the back of the motor mount.
Than see what it does for speed.

I need to see yours run with the lipo pack,
And than maybe adjust for it.

Did you get any video of those runs I'd love to see that. I'm hoping my charger comes in tomorrow so I can try my lipo but I know for sure I'm gonna try my new Props.

I think the pro boat prop will slow it down,
Do a 1 to 2 minutes run with it and check temps.
The 40x52 should be a lot better,
But check the temps after 1 to 2 minutes.
You also may have a little more run time with that 40x52 prop.
I like the x440/3 the bests so far.

So you want to see my helmet malfunction and speeds.
Later on tonight I will post some video's of it.

[Killah2469]

My faster runs have been with the same proboat prop but its plastic but I can't wait to find out how much difference a metal prop makes.

Ya I definatly want to see your helmet malfunction and I also want to see that 41.6 mph run.

[Killah2469]

Well I got out today for the first time after my helmet malfunction and the boat ran great. I ran it with both batteries on timing seting 2 and my new
Proboat 1.6x2.5 stainless prop and I am very impressed with it. Tomorrow I'm gonna try the grimracer 3 blade and do some tests with it.
Here are the videos with the 7.2v nimh battery. My starting voltage was 8.3v and my ending voltage was 7.5v.

Temps
ESC - 54 F
Motor - 57 F
Battery - 86 F

Temps
ESC - 59 F
Motor - 58 F
Battery - 114 F

Here are the runs with my 8.4v nimh Battery. My starting voltage was 9.64v and my ending voltage was 8.7v.

Temps
ESC - 61 F
Motor -59 F
Battery - 90 F

Temps
ESC - 61.8 F

Looking pretty good for first mod to brushless.
Now bring on the lipo's baby.

[lenny]

I never saw someone milk a boat before.

[Killah2469]

Ya that's funny the water wouldn't come out unless I milked it. I think the water got in when the boat was flipping around because there was no water in it when I was using the 7.2v
and with that batt there wasn't as much power. What do you think?

[lenny]

Try running it with out the spin outs on the 8.4,
Also it weighs more than the 7.2 to.

[Killah2469]

Ok cool ill try that. If I get some bigger turn funs will it be more stable in the turns and will it also turn faster?

[Killah2469]

Oh man today was my lucky day I got my Lipo charger in the mail. I went out today and ran with it I am very impressed with the power in the battery
here are the videos of my run.
