Website says November.

It's on the water today. Shipping boat usually takes 5 weeks, 4 if the water currents are in our favor.

I'll give you PB guys credit....T Cat, Q Mono...nice line of P boats.... Aquacraft is falling behind.

[Doby]

I asked on the other thread...is there any difference between the Rockstar hull and this one (other than paint)?

[Rafael_Lopez]

Sorry, I missed your answer.

The hull is the same, the canopy is different.

[jonesjj]

I wanted to ask here as I seen you said in another forum a good set up would be running 6S or 8S in parallel, what mA size packs would you recommend for this boat?

[arrover]

Rafael, do you have any pictures of your battery setup and a picture of the bottom?

[bigcam406]

got the email today on this....all i can say is wow

[Rafael_Lopez]

Minimum size packs are 5000mAH@50c. The boat has so much room that you can configure them how you like, for no more than 8s, total voltage. Hope that makes sense.

Here is the bottom.


I'll post a picture of different battery configurations tomorrow.

Rafael do you feel like the 160 amp is sufficient on 8s? Any temp readings from your runs

[Rafael_Lopez]

Yes, it it more than enough. The system runs between 125-135*, on 8s, with the larger of the 2 props it comes with; 1.4x2.0(x452). The system pulls between 120-130 amps, continuous and I've seen speeds up to 57 MPH. It's even more efficient with the smaller 1.4x1.90(x448) with speeds just over 50.

Almost a year ago I got 10 of these ESC to test. I tested all 10, but I am still running the original one I started testing with. We rate our ESCs at 80% of their total amperage, so 160 is the max recommended continuous amperage. I do not recommend running the ESC at more that 160amps.

The ESC has over volt and over amp protection. It will shut down if it sensed more than 8s or over 160 continuous amps. The max KV is 1200 on 8s.

Awesome boat going to be saving up for this one.
