Zelos Fast List!!

[dasboata]

IMHO is not so "stock" use 4.35v/cell...

not stock ? everyone has a choice to put whatever batteries they want in the boat ,, the boat don't come with batteries and the stock boat had 420 5000 in it ?

[banixj]

ESC spec is 4.2v/cell so no stock
higher voltage = higher power so it's a mod
but i don't want to fight... final result is astonishing and i'd like to try 4.35V/cell too!!!!

I agree Chris. The boat calls for 6s to each esc and that's what I put to it... 6s with (2) 3s lipos capable of safely being charged to 4.35 volt per cell.

MADRCER, are you charging your Revo 435 LiHV packs to 4.35V?

Cool! Carbon fiber inlay's, OSE flex cables, wire drives, sharpened rudders, polished flex shafts, and aftermarket props all are mods as well if you look at it that way. Keagan can put me back down to my previous best which was 77.05 mph (which isn't a bad run at all) if it's a problem with my boat not meeting the specs to be considered a "stock electronics boat". That number has stood for a few months without anyone coming close to it and that run was on (4)-3s lipos charged to 4.2v per cell (the maximum for the 3s Gens Ace 5500mAh). The real eyebrow raising question is going to come up when me or someone puts the new Zelos twin 3831 motors (which I already have waiting to be installed in mine) and possibly set a blistering pace....Will that be a considered a modified run? or will one have to buy a new boat just so it comes out of the box with the new 3831 motors installed from the factory like they are shipping now and make a run with that boat instead of the boat I currently run? IMHO I would also propose that runs that beat someone's speed for the top spot must be required to show video proof with the GPS cleared and in the boat before and after the run or you must have the gps with the logger software that show where the boat was running in the lake with the speed stamped on the map in order to be 100% qualified for a top spot trophy. Please let me know everyone's thoughts.

Are these the LipoGraphene packs? Do you feel the voltage is holding up like a normal pack? I've been waiting for some actual field experience, you know, that they don't turn into flares!

[CraigP]

Usually we think of puffed batteries has a rather permenant change. So these batteries puffed, then returned to normal size? If you see that again, could you grab some pics and post? These batts are going to be a learning process for us all. With the volt gain, if they're robust, I'm sure they will dominate in competition. Thanks!

I am with you on this one. Compared to you guys I am only an amateur. It would take me a looong time to be able to run those speed numbers, if at all. We all screw around with our boats, that's what its all about. As for me, after I install my new 3930's, I will be on the bottom of Keagans modified list.

[Erroneous]

I can vouch for the gopacks over the old silver labels. The IRs are lower, run slightly cooler and no minor puff on hard runs. Ive slammed these things in my 1/8 monster buggy (TP4050 2100kv, quickrun150 and geared for 90mph) in 108* Sacramento heat and taken them down to 3.2v/cell doing it. I just had to know before lining up 4 packs in a boat.... On the flip side I feel everone is looking for a "bulletproof"LIPO... Not possible... These things dump a ton of power in a short time, abuse this and pay......... To add, I only charge them to 4.275 at 1c...

[Keagan-Z06]

ESC timing for me is not considered a mod. So the structure of the list remains the same, it would be very hard at this point to go back and find what everyone ran. Batteries are a free for all option IMO. As long as the motors and ESC remain the same, it's considered stock.

[Keagan-Z06]

Ok, so who has those 1715's in stock?

[MADRCER]

Either everyone is hoarding them up or they aren't available. I may have some info that could help. If you haven't found any and are still looking PM me.

Keagan,
I got my 1814's from these guys. Not exactly sure which you are looking for, but they have this 1715 but only left handed.

Stock Zelos hits 80.77mph (130kmh)

I had to give the Z a little loving today and I had a couple of pretty good test runs with my new 1716 props from Chris (Dasboata). On this run the motor mount came loose and caused the flex to bind up and rub with the tight Teflon liner and caused the ESC to go into thermal shutdown, so I had to limp back to the shore with only full power to one motor. Everything appears ok except the flex. The top recorded speed on this run was 80.77mph (130kmh). Also a BIG THANKS to my "Propsmith" (Chris) again for another AWESOME set of blades! Keagan can you update me? Below are the results from my best run today.
