Darin's Testing Visit with Pro Boat - March 19, 2015

You buy the RTR, sell the one you have been building to me, I will pay top dollar!

Now that's tempting ! Except I don't want a RTR yet ! lol

Now share the good pictures!

in the pic with the boats on the shelves there seems to be a "newer" looking Fastech brushless......

The "newer" look can be attributed to the hull sitting on the shelf without the submerged prop and the rudder. Think of it as having a different propulsion system. ( Jet Drive)

i just noticed the paint scheme

Standard FASTec paint scheme... there were a couple of different ones. I have the other hull as well.

Nothing new... just a boat I built awhile back:

Back story on those puffy 80C packs, I have been trying to blow up the DYNM3875, 120A ESC on 6S. In the process I have puffed 4, 80C packs, melted the blue nylon off the EC5 connectors, and de-soldered connectors off the wires. What I have not managed to do is burn up the 1 ESC I have been abusing for 4 months now after lowering the timing to 7*, while pushing it at or right above it's 120A limit.

Don't worry Ray. I've yet to find where Dynamite stores the smoke in their products.

i have melted way too many ec5 connectors on limited setups..great news on speedo

All true, guys.... when these guys stress test this stuff they aren't fooling around! Plus a lot of these packs have more LVC runs on them than most packs would see in a lifetime!

I ran Dynamite packs in several boats last season and the performance is right there.

As for the EC5 connectors. These are getting VERY abused as well. The team is pushing these systems to find the weak points, and my comments above should be taken with that in consideration. If you are pushing your equipment further than Rafael and the team are during product testing, research, you need to rethink your plan.

Rafael, Mike, and the ProBoat development team are working hard to step up the game. From what I experience they are right on track.

how about a new mono

How have the 50C packs held up?
