blackjack 26 with Velineon

[jkypta]

did u see the price on the seaking 120 amps on hobby partz? there like 53$ i thought about buying one for that boat, but idk anything about them or if thats enough power

[Stephavee]

It would be just fine on 4s! Ive been reading lots of good things about seaking esc. looks like a safe buy to me! i have to go with a 180 because im running my 1/8 E-Revo 2x3s 5000mah 35c lipos in this boat!

heck yeah u see the guy hydroplaneing a e revo across a lake? i think it would beat a boat LOL, and the 120 amp wont hold 6s? i have like 4 2s lipos rest r 3s and a 6s for the tc4 my GTPs run 2 3s i gps the 2 speed at 77mph then hit a curb and it dont run lol

[Stephavee]

I dont know enough about it to say but if the 180 can handle 6s i would think that the 120 might not!... but if you have the right motor/prop you wont need 6s to see 50s! this thread has lots of good info for us land lovers going to boats! its a hole new game on the water....Oh and the reason that revo was going so fast on the water is because they dont like to get wet!!! I toasted my esc in a "puddle"...no SH!t like 3" deep!

your joking? my slash was in 12 inchs of water with sand paws paddling up like a boat and that was my marine inspration lol and seriously 120amp witha tacon motor and 4s should hit 50s????? heck ya

i hope this helps out some ppl buidling a boat on a small budget, FE is so much nicer than nitro, and gas, i started with both and still have the boats, i ran them once a year because to the tempermental and OSE parts had a water jacket that fits velineon perfect!!!! im putting the water cooled system in my wave chopper to see how it runs while i finish the BJ

[jkypta]

Sunday is test day!!! Hope to get great vid of it with velineon

[Stephavee]

Dont forget the hatch tape and floatation! I just spent over $400 on mine and cant wait to get off this big boat to get home to work on my little boat! im shooting for 60mph i think! not sure yet but we'll see!

[jkypta]

I fit 1.5 full funoodles in it and took like 10 rolls of hockey tape from my friend who buys it in packs of 100

well blackjack 26 + velineon = 48mph on a garmin GPS, kyoshowave chopper + velineon + lazylayout = boat running away with out hitting land major success, video messed up but my new batterys come this week and new radio which is y my wave chopper dystroyed its self, so mad i had no video it was crazy itd do a complete barrel roll it was so much power,
the wave chopper walked away from a lil stock super Vee and the blackjack barely beat a stock one only issue was melting the soldder on the deans

[Stephavee]

Im not saying it didnt happen but 48mph is hard to believe with 3s! Some guys have a hard time doing that on 5s. a video would be nice!

[jkypta]

It was 2x 3s and it did 48 one time, average was 40s plus i was going with wind lol i made everything work to my advantage till i ramped my friends BJ

[Stephavee]

So you had a 1/10 3500kv vxl motor on 22.2v? What esc/prop did you use? That still sounds fast i ran my stock BJ26 motor/esc/prop on 6s "22.2v" and would get 45mph! got the video on youtube. also how did you conect the small motor shaft to the flax cable?
