6s ??

[Brushless01]

Hi could this boat be ran on 6s with a turning 80 amp HV esc ??

If you keep the prop size down probably. It is not difficult to prop these motors to 90-100 amps on 4S, so be certain to prop down on 6S. 33,000 rpm is a lot of revs - I'm not certain why you'd want to do this, yet limit yourself to just 80 amps.

Go for it. I run the stock BJ26 ESC & Motor in my UL-1 on 6S without any problems.

Make sure to remove the red wire from the esc harness and run a rx pack. SMALL prop, like Fluid said. 5s should be more than enough for big speed though, and the right prop on 4s will make it move!

46mph on 5s with a x642. Click the MG name in my signature for video of 4s & 5s. The motor can handle 6s voltage but the esc is not rated for 6s. Disconnect the bec like rum said. I use a 2000mah nimh rx pack.

Could i disconnect the factory bec then solder in a castle one ?? How about a T180 esc instead ??

I'm sure you could, but it will still be taking away power from the batteries. A t180 will work, a t80hv would work as well.

I've been playing with my Geico for 2 days now. Its been running great. I'm not sure why people always want to over power their boats. I understand its a rush, but crashing at 40 and crashing at 60mph will yield much different results.

My opinion is that if you want to have a rush or sorts, find someone with another geico and race. It will get the blood flowing.

Those that crash at 60 will be the ones bad-mouthing ProBoat for their lack of "Quality".

I am very happy with the stock system in this boat on both 4s and 5s.

To add too that... put out some buoys, and try to race on a course against someone else, holding lane one, dicing for the lead, for a mile or so. You might find that speed is all relative, and frankly, not the important part of the equation.

Steven... LOVE the new smilies!!

Or burn up a esc.

Yeah its running real smooth in the video

[blackcat26]

It does sound much better. Hard to tell 100% if it's gone with the background music. His description says he made longer batt. trays and brought the batts back a little......
