Miss Geico Lets see what this thing can do!

Nice... you know I'm just messing with you. Hey btw what kind of amps are you pulling with that setup so I can get an idea for mine

[JPriami]

Yeah I know you are :D. Amps haha good question. I just looked and my average was low. But I think it was from how I was driving. I would make med speed passes the a few high speeds between and so on. So my average was low and a little hard to determine. The 182 were spikes but also one of those was at WOT. Funny part of the graph was my temps would start taking a dive to low when I was going fast.

Tried to use the gopro camera on my rescue rig out on the lake to try and get some shots. It was fun to try. Might do it again. At the end of the video you see how my day at the lake started.

thats a good camara!!!!

[JPriami]

Yeah I like it. The water proof case is nice. But it muffles the sound when it's on.
I am thinking about making a new PVC rescue rig that has a camera mount that sits up a little higher so I don't have to put the camera on the boat itself. Might get some better shots like that.

Did the hull today. Feels better.
Did you scruff up the sponson, ore did you leave it silky smooth. ?

geico burn up.jpggeico blow up 2.jpg
dont run the 180a esc had mine going 50 at 1/4 throttle and it blew up should hit 80 easy

[JPriami]

I lightly sanded the bottoms of mine with like 360 grit. Did it in long strokes length wise front to back.

[JPriami]

Sorry to hear about the esc blowing. That does happen and is a risk we take. What motor is that? 2200?

[26missgeico]

were did you get the pick ups? no its a 3068

[d.a.v.e]

Nice video.. Bit long but you got some good shots there.

[maxmekker]

That sure looks like a smelly boat. What's the status ? My 180 has held up both in the surge crusher and in the miss geico. Only time it(cap's that is) get's warm is on 5s with the m445.

[26missgeico]

I'm running maxamps 6500mah 150c with a x648 prop

[26missgeico]

quick question... could i put bigger capacitors on the 180a esc?? i want something that doesn't burn the hull every time i run it.... thanks brandan

[Rumdog]

How about a proper setup instead. The 180s are excellent escs. Read up a bit before you have another fire
