NEW Pro Boat Impluse 31 RTR V2

[tlandauer]

YES, 1500kv motor is faster than the 1800kv (no quality dynm motor, or no torque)

Interesting observation:
I have both the 1500kv ( Formula FASTech / MG V1) and the 1800kv ( Not the Dynamite brand, but the PB brand), I can tell you that with the same prop and same set of batteries the 1800kv IS FASTER. That's the reason I put the 1800kv in my FASTech. I have also a Dynamite 1800kv in my Miss Elam Hydro, but I did not do any comparison and by the feel of it, the motor was healthy. Like to know more about how you come to this conclusion.

May be the propeller size, use 45 mm, 5s battery

I do not find this to be fact... Given the same prop, the 1800KV motor would be faster (Yes, the Dynamite brand motor)...

But, again, what do I know...

Now... that being said... the 1500KV motor CAN go as fast, but it takes more pitch to do it...

We run the 1800KV Dynamite with a 180amp esc on 6S and it is definately faster than the 1500KV on the same Prop...Like Darin stated "pitching up the prop" might get the 1500KV close to what the 1800KV does....might even give us less amperage draw...We like the dynamite 1800KV, its been holding up fairly well for us, considering running 6S and the wire impedance issues...

The hull revolt30 and impulse31 (29 ") are almost equal, the revolt is not separated from the water, is more stable
I try revolt30, with electronics impulse31 v2 (5s and 6s) and it's amazing

Hi, Mike grimracer zaborowski
I think there are serious problems with the design of the rudder, the water pickup hole is very high, need 1 inch below ( the water pickup hole should be no less than one inch below the keel) very small rudder, a minimum recommended length is 1 times the diameter of its support below Lx 15% 30”x15% = 4,5” minimum. (REVOLT 30 ONLY 4")
thank you very much

Manny

Taking my new impulse v2 our next weekend for the first run and im new to boats, does the shaft come pre greased or do i need to out of the box. would white lithium grease work. thanks

[BHChieftain]

You should grease before every day's run (I grease every 4-5 runs), and after running for the day remove and clean the flex and let everything dry.

yea blame it on china, I know all about China, im in the MFG. trade
2. the rear servo screws are under the deck , tough to get an angled screw driver into them.
3. a compression collet
could not run it wide open so you math is off boat is factory set a 80% top end, with the bounce and the ESC programming card not working. IF it did run wide open it would have burned up the motor.
Heat gun was at the dock with me and I was trying to get the boat set up when it died on the lake. Tough to do in 5 minutes

pro boat, not a word from them yet. Horizon says warranty is time of sale!

I have a Traxxas Spartan, UL-1, Revolt 30, they all ran out of the box, for a very long time!

My crap PB Impulse 31 V2 came just like yours servo backwards, rudder linkage was not even attached. Both wood servo holders were bit fastened.

There were two nicks on the hull cosmetic but still unacceptable for $400!

I have a Revolt 30 FE as my first oat and truly RTR no leaks of course double cheeked and Loctite all screws with blue removable and off she went. Just hate the cockpit is taped on makes it look really ghetto.

Traxxas I owned every surface vehicle they've had since the early 90s and all heavily modded...from chassis, arms, titanium links, cvd's, brushless power, lipos always, never ran the stock electronics and I have sold every single one. Traxxas I only trust on land not air and not water.

Seeing too many Spartan hulls snap at high speed abrupt maneuvers because the ABS plastic could not withstand the 6s power and the length of the craft. Or escs burning up and the boat in fire with dual 3s packs toasted.....

UL-1 perfect price, very nimble, great beginner boat....downside is the water has to be glass smooth as with any drag boat like that. That's why I never liked catamarans or tunnel hull designs...throw a 3-4s in there with a plastic hull once you're out on open water anything can happen at those speeds!

Most people who are unhappy with a purchase return it and get a refund or a replacement.

I'm pretty certain that, in runs of 500+ units, a few are going to slip through that have issues, especially from China.
