    the prop was sharpened and balanced, but as for the SV running to wet? that's something which I have to take a closser look at because I have noticed that my SV takes a longer time to reach top speed. But how do you correct this problem as to the boat running wet? What adjustment are needed? and should I use the 42/55 or 462 as a standard prop?

      No, if you are running a 440 prop which is 40mm diameter do not prop up. If anything you may have to prop down. Running to wet can be adjusted by changing the cg by moving battery position more towards the rear which is the easiest way to do it or adjust the trim tabs. I would start by making sure your trim tabs are neutral and completly in line with the bottom of the hull, what i mean by that is a take a straight edge along the bottom of the hull and the trim tabs should be perfectly resting on the edge after that move that batts slight aft from the position you normally run them. Can you post some pics? Also what type of batts are you using full information please.

          So your batts can provide 150amps, that is more then enough in that set-up. So batts are not the issue, that means it is something else. With the heating issue you may have damaged the motor which is then in turn frying esc's.

            I believe that it!! I have another stock motor 1800KV that is not damaged: I will use it in replace of the Ammo. Also I have noticed that the motor gets so hot that you are not able to touch it well over 150F. and I also timed my runs, no longer than 5 minutes

              Yea 150F WAY too hot, motor is prob damaged. Run you stock motor I would try and get a replaced stock esc from AQ, send the old for warrenty. Another option would be to get the esc replaced, sell the esc and motor and buy ul-1 power

                  Are you keeping your flex shaft greased? Are you leaving space between the end of the strut and the prop drive dog? Check your cooling lines too and make sure they are not clogged up.

                    Flex shaft greased everyday with at least 5mm between the drive dog and the strut, however, I removed the teflon liner to decrease friction. Planning to install dual cooling system.

                      Don't do that no need you'll just get a water leak. It won't decrease anything. The trim tab pickup is all you need. If you are running big props and things are getting hot more water won't help. It's getting hot because you are overloading your system and all the water in the world won't help. Running the right prop for your set up will keep things cool. If you need to go faster its time for a new Motor and ESC or maybe a different boat. Even the best equipment will brake down if you overload it.
