***NEW**** Pro Boat Voracity 36" Mono!!

[montymike]

I advised a few posts backs about not having any headroom in the ESC for a another prop other than what it comes with or the ESC will over amp and shut down, not burn up.The ESC rating of 120a is 80% of the total Amperage rating which is typical of any ESC on the market. 80% is the maximum amount recommended for continuous current flow in the electronics/electrical industry. The amperage I see on that Watt meter is exactly what I saw through testing, nearing ESCs limit, and I doubt anyone has yet to see the ESC shut down. Seems like the ESC is working as I anticipated it would

Listen to Darin regarding props. I said this previously too. A well worked prop will work better than a larger one or one with more pitch.

Montymike, I'll work on updating our prop specs. The stock prop is definitely an equivelant to an x645, not a 445.

,thanks for the clarification. Quite a difference between a x445 and a x645 in amp draw all things = a x645 s&b would work fine was just confused on the spec.

Hey Darrin you say to put my leopard in the boat and use 6s. Wouldn't the stock motor be faster than the leopard cause its 1650kv? The Leopard might run cooler but I'm not having heat issues.

There is so much more to power than just KV... All that is is "how fast are you pedaling".... Lance Armstrong and I could both be pedaling on the flats at 100 rev/min... How fast we are both still pedaling when we hit that hill is what makes the real difference...

I don't pay attention much to the Leopard or other similar type motors, but I'm thinking that that 4082 of yours is looks to be almost exactly the same specs as the stock motor. If they are the same pole count (4-pole??), then the actual KV ratings are probably the same. The diameter and length are the same. I don't think I'd expect any performance increase.

I'd upgrade the ESC and cooling, perhaps, and then you can start playing with props. Going to 8S, in either case, would be suicide for a 1600-1650KV motor... especially an "average quality" one.

rafael i am correct by saying that the specs listed for the stock prop online is wrong? on proboats site it says its a 1.4 pitch and 2.478 total pitch? just want to clarify. thanks

Has Any one tried this boat on 3.5° timing to see if it draws less amps?

[Rafael_Lopez]

The motor in the veracity is a six pole motor. If you change the motor to a 4 pole motor you will gain some RPM but you will lose the torque. This is typical and motors made by the same manufacturer, with the same stater and rotor specifications; except for the difference of magnets count on the rotor.

How do you guys think the voracity would do on 8s? I have an extra leopard 4082 1600kv motor laying around so I thought I might buy a swordfish 200amp pro esc and pair it with the leopard motor and run 8s. Thoughts ?

I think that would be a step backwards. The stock motor is a 4082 but has 6 poles. More tq.

[kfxguy]

Blah. Raphael beat me to it by one minute. Lol

Ummm. I wouldn't chance it with the stock Esc.

[montymike]

Ummm. I wouldn't chance it with the stock Esc.

So did u get your boat ?if so what are the results? I'm still . On the fence .

[paulfromtulsa]

Ummm. I wouldn't chance it with the stock Esc.

how would running less timing hurt the esc?

[Darin Jordan]

how would running less timing hurt the esc?

It won't... I think that kfxguy didn't realize that you were indicating a cutting in half of the factory 7-degree timing...

So far I have been able to hit 48.7mph with the stock, unaltered prop. My particular stock prop looks to be a little less than perfect. Instead of working on it, I decided to sharpen and balance a x645 which Rafael has said is equivalent to the stocker. This morning the boat ran 51.0mph with the x645. I also ran an x642 and it was significantly slower. I freely admit that I'm brand new to working on props and choosing them. I'm just learning and having fun. The boat seems to be running a little wet maybe even with the batteries all the way back and the tabs neutral. I still haven't touched the tabs or the strut.

Can you tell people what batteries you are running (Size/mAh)??

I too found that, running 6000mAh 3S packs, that it can get a little wet... Which isn't really bad once the water gets torn up a bit...

One of the BEAUTIFUL things about this boat is that it can be run pretty hard in REAL water conditions... In other words... it doesn't have to be glass to get 45+ out of it while lapping around the pond...

Really an ideal "fun" size!

There is enough play between the strut and the stuffing tube to give you a max of 2* positive or negative angle without having to bend the stuffing tube or kinking the flex shaft. I run mine with as much positive as I can get. I like it to run a lose as possible.

Also if your prop is damaged, please call our Product Support line to get a replacement.

You're awesome Rafael. Thanks for the offer but I'm not to concerned with the 1.3 mph out of that particular prop. It's probably the boat set-up anyway. I really do appreciate that though.

Yes, I may "trim it up" a hair and see what happens. My batteries are 5000mah 3S packs so I'm thinking they are a pretty standard size.
