28.7mph on 2S

[Mtwinste]

Ran tonight with x445 prop and 3S2s gens ace 5300mah 45c and burned up something. Motor or ESC not sure. Motor was way hotter than esc. Oh well I didn't really care I wanted to upgrade it anyways. Recorded 44.4mph on this setup before she blew and she was running pretty loose at that time.

what are you saying? 3S2s??
are you running two 3s packs in series or parallel??

[Mtwinste]

Series. Stock electronics. Stock wiring. Series.

this system is ment for 4s power the way you ran it was 6s
to much voltage with that prop possibly burnt up your esc

Mtwinste, you need to be more clear when you are posting. 3S2S. what does that mean? Does that mean 2x 3s packs which means 6s total? Or do you mean you ran a 3s pack and a 2s pack in series for 5s total?

[Mtwinste]

Series. 6S total.

Neither the motor nor ESC burnt. It thermaled bc it ran fine later on.

I bought a leopard 4074 1400kv and a seaking 180A today and will run on 6s

good to hear about the motor and esc doing ok!
try a different prop on the stock setup while running 4s
you will like it..

Ran the x445 on two thunder power 2S 65C 6600mah in series. 43.4mph. Ran the batteries dead and the motor batteries esc everything was hot and even a little smoke came out from inside the hull!!!! Let it cool some and tried another pair of 2S packs and she was thermalled and wouldnt go over idle. New ESC and motor are on the way.

this is a solid setup from Proboat
sounds like your looking to see smoke on every run

[Rumdog]

So you ran 6s on the stock setup. Probably did significant damage to the motor and esc, and then ran 6600mah packs till DEAD?! All I have to say is....WHY?

[Mtwinste]

50mph on 6S but very windy and sketchy. Seaking 180. Leopard 4074 1400kv. Gens ace 6S total in series. X645 prop.

[Mtwinste]

Tried again and got 54.1mph.
