BL BJ26 First Looks and Performance

[webdr]

Hi, new here with the BRBJ.

Could anyone tell me some info about the motor? All I know is it's name; a3630-1500 but what kv is it? Is it a 6 pole motor?

I also took off the fins and ordered the aeromarine offset rudder/strut/autobailer combo. Hope it will make this already fast boat a little faster.

Just a guess... but based on the numbering scheme... I'd say it's likely 1500KV... I'm guessing as well that it's likely one of these: http://www.maxxprod.com/pdf/HB3630-xx00.pdf

Anyone have the actual dimensions they could provide?? If it's the one in the .pdf above, then it's 36mm long and about 54mm long...

How easy is it to turn by hand?? Not sure on the number of poles...

Not very easy to turn, it takes six "clicks" for one full rotation of the motor. Does that mean it's a 6 pole motor?

The manual to that Motor says that the 1500 motor is a 1606kv motor, but the website says it's a 1500kv motor . Looks about like the one I have right here in the BJ. I don't have calipers or a metric ruler to measure the motor. Sorry.

It turns like a SV motor, hard. Somone up above said 6 clicks to a full turn, maybe that means its a 6 pole motor.

Anybody found out what octura prop is the best fit for the stock one?

The manual says 1.34" by 2.06"

Picked mine up today, surprised with what I got for an rtr boat.
The motor dimensions are roughly 36.37mm and 53.6mm with cheapo calipers.

sweeeeeeeeeet! you have lipo's to run? GPS? My GPS is a honker....so I am not very inclined to use it.

I have lipos, but forgot to get the really trick program card for the esc, so I will probably just run some well used 3600s for the test run on sunday. If she doesnt flip like her chinese sister, we may just have a winner!

I am going to the LSH here in a minute to pic my programmer thingy up. I ran without it. I just did anout 8 laps or so and that was it. My 4350 packs where at 7.75 volts and again, everything was luke warm or cool....very nice..
