SV27 Righting Howl?

[domp444]

Thats why they call it the Superflip! Foam in the howl (now you've got me saying it!) I mean cowl won't work unless you get a big rollover version. You are on the right track with the trim tabs it made a big difference with mine. Get you cg forward and add some weight and make it run about 40 mph. Any more is just asking for trouble.

Ahaha I meant cowl! I don't know what got into me. But anyway, what does cg mean? And where would I add the weight to? While browsing around the site I also noticed that people were removing their battery trays and placing the batteries further forward, so I'll probably do that.

cg= Center of Gravity


Removing the battery trays are one of the first things that are needed to be done in order for the SV to handle it the way the owner would want it to. So yes, get that done before your next outing.

You add weight to the area right under the can of the motor on the hull.

Ohh alright cool, thanks a lot I'll get that done :)

I want to upgrade the motor and I've been looking at the 8XL. Is this a good upgrade for the SV27? Also, if I get the motor, do I have to get a new ESC also?

[z400]

Yes, with the 8xl you will need a new esc.
However, i do have a motor for sale that will work with your esc and will put you in the low 40s.
PM me if your interested.

[domp444]

What kind of motor is this? Specs?

[z400]

Feigao 540 12L

[domp444]

What's the difference between this one and the 8XL?

[z400]

I dont know a whole lot actually about them, but the 8xl can produce more wattage then the 12L, the 8xl has more torque.

Im runnin a 8xl now..

[domp444]

Do you have any videos of the boat with the 8XL in it? I think I wanna buy the 8XL...

It'd be great to see a video! :D

[z400]

Your going to need a much bigger esc as well.
No videos yet.

[domp444]

So if I get the 8XL I'll also need to purchase the CC Hydra 120, correct?

[z400]

I wouldnt suggest running only a 120amp esc.
Ive seen the stock set up pull about 90 amps.

I would stay above 150 amps for the esc.
Im running a 180amp controller with mine.
