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

[lenny]

Your is not running to bad in the turns,
But I think an adjustment would help with to hooping in the straights.
Do you remember the boat terms ?

Also that PB prop is not a very good prop,
Try the grim racer prop and see how it run for you.

No I totally forgot them I guess I should write them down.

Port side is left of boat standing at the back of the boat,
Trim tab on port side bend it down 1/32" to 1/16" and test to see if it helps with the bouncing.
When running straight runs.
Also,
I see the prop is making the hull torque roll some.
That is why I like the x440/3 prop,
It does not do that to the hull.

Went out yesterday and did some testing with the trim tabs.
Check out my video to see how it went.

Looks better and better! All you need now is room to stretch your "legs". By the 8 min. mark you had the boat riding well!
Wouldn't be surprised if Lenny starts to charge consultation fees for the Rio Set up!

What is the low volt set at on the esc ?
Also what are the 2 cells ending voltage after the 10 min run.
A good ending voltage would be 3.75 per cell in a 2s pack,
You want to have 20% to 25% left in the pack after a full run.
And how many mah go back in the pack when fully charged again.
You do not want to ruin the new packs by pulling to much volts out of them,
They will also take some time to break in to,
Just do not push them to hard yet.

Also it looked to be running best at the end adjustment 9:00 to tabs.

went to do a couple runs today and this is the test for my grimracer 40x52 3 blade metal prop.
after about a min and a half I gave up.
If anybody has any suggestions on how to fix this let me know.

[lenny]

I think that is more of a hydro prop but not sure,
Also I have not had much luck with the grim props.
You should buy these before I do,
Just because I am a prop hug.
Pm sent with info.

Well it's cavitating like crazy, which can be a sign that the prop is not b/s very well. The 40/52 is almost identical to an x440/3

[Killah2469]

Man I think I got it running at its best around the last 3 min I get some good cornering.

[Killah2469]

Went out today and yesterday and did some runs on #3 timing and I seem to have it running a bit better till today when I was doing a full speed left with full steering lock that the boat decided to hit a wave and roll over
sSo anyway I had to fish it out with my fishing rod and tennis ball but I did get it out with no water inside. Here are some videos of both days.

Day 1

Day 2

Whoo hoo check out my new awesome boat!!!

[lenny]

I have one of them too,
Bought it for $30.00 but it is white on top and yellow on bottom.
But was going to make it brushless some day like this one.

Well I had a great day today my flex shaft broke and it flew right out the back of my boat so i decided to rip out the old motor mount and start from scratch.
Here are the pics after i removed the motor mount.

That sucks,
Was there still a piece of the flex in the coupler ?

I did that last year on my shockwave to FE mod with a nice x646/3 prop.
You should just keep going now and take out the rx and servo box to get it out of the way,
It will let you move your cells and CG back like mine.

Just do not cut the hull when doing it,
The pieces that are glued good I would just leave in but just try to make them as flat as possible.

But you can leave the battery tray in it to angle the new cells location to the transom,
And help hold it in place to.
