    Miss Geico 4s2p/5s m445 video. With water issue

    So a little shot from today's run.
    4s2p 4000 in parallel gave me 5+ minut's, a tad short I think. 3,5v in paks
    Temps were 40-60 C all over.(lipos motor cap's)

    5s (2s+3s 4000) gave me 3+ minut's.
    temps were 50 to 60 c , and caps were 100c dead on.

    To hot ore ok ?



    But I got a water issue. 2 runs and water all over. Using both grimracer/proboat lube. Same with both.
    Is the gap to big ?

      are you sure its coming in through the flexshaft area? or is it coming in through the hatch if you aren't using the hatch liner. and it looks to be a worn flexshaft

            I have the same flex shaft from Kintec no problems here .There liner was extremley tight, went with the stock proboat liner nothing like that in my boat. Running castle neu 1515 1 y mamba monster on 6s. Your boat carves pretty nice one of the best ive seen at those speeds.
            Check your collet if its stock mine was wobbeling the flex shaft spin your prop and watch the end of your flex shaft at the collet there should be very little runout . Went with an octura very nice runs very true.

              try slipping a peice of cooling hose over the end of the tube and you flex so i covers the opening but put the cooling hose high enough on the tube so only alittle is touching the flex,, you dont want alot of drag on the flex just alittle!!!

                markus: no wobbeling with the kintec, but with the stock flex it was all over. :-) With liner you mean the plastic tubing it came in? I went with the stock one allready in the boat.

                Hydro. not sure I got that. you mean at point it comes into the boat at the collet ?

                I re lubed at made sure the everything was tight and nice. I lubed it between the packs at shore, and it was bone dry after a 3 minute run, and I'm not holding back with the lube.
