Geico on 6s

[blackcat26]

Yeah I have a better longer stretch but some vegetation has taken it over big time. Plus this place is like a minute from the house.

Seems that is the way the boat runs the best!

you had that thing singing out there....when u say 6 cell is that two 3 cells or one unit?

[jac4412]

Excellent that's good news... I'll finally get to play with mine next weekend when I go home from school... She's probably all dusty from the lack of attention... Good news is that I have the x624 and 2 new flex shafts for her and some new lipos. I'll check her out stock, take a video of her (boat view) and then I'll see where I go from there

Two 3s batts instead of the factory two 2s batts. That outrunner sounded sweet til it melted down. I love the sound they make.

HobbyWing 150a

Hey Blackjack26
Can you share the part number of the HobbyWing 150a you have. I googled it and came up a bunch of ESCs for cars.
Also, what should one of these babies cost? Any tip on a good place to get one?
Thanks Boomer

[blackcat26]

I own 3 and two are hobbywing which you can get on eBay or himodel site. Should cost between 90 to 115 bucks. Hobbyking also sells the identical esc under turning k-force 150a. Great controls but don't have watercooling. Easily made with some 1/8 tubing.

Took her out this morning with a new setup. Running a 1512 castle 1800kv on 6s with a m440 and got 58mph out of her. Motor was only about 100 degrees so more prop needed. Ran great with quite a bit of chop and didn't hear any hints of the dreaded "wa wa". Will try and get video later if the wind dies down.

I'd stick with 5s on that motor, and a bigger prop. That much rpm is asking for trouble.

Now wait a minute, I know someone that was running a twin 2200kv's on 5s if I remember correctly.....

[Rumdog]

HAHA! Yep that was me! The load is much less with twins though.

What esc did you used with a Castle neu 1512? . Does it draw a lot of amp ?

Hi there

just got my hands on MG .Got a couple of 6s lying ard. Wonder if the hull is able to clear the height of hobbyking 180A esc (H34mm)? and still able to cover the tupperware lid.
