60+ mph What's your set up :)

[C-Mac]

I'm looking at pushing this boat and I would like to know what you all are using in your EKOS to make it hit 60+ mph.

[VIKOS]

Hopes Nd dreams everything stays intact lol more so props and shafts. No really good cooling, strong motors, probably 5s lipos and props and a good strong 120A ESC. All of your choice hate when a group have the same motors and set up. Doesn't make it intresting. Ohh and a gps to prove along with a video of install and removal.

I just had mine out again with brand new 9XLs and 2x3S...these new engines run real smooth compared to stock, but the top end speed I am thinking that the boat is calling for 2 x 4S Lipos. I am running with 36mm Venom machined props and am wondering if Octura 442s will make a huge difference?

9xl should do just fine on two 4s according to another guy who runs it.
not sure on amp draw difference on 9xl but you will sure gain a few Mph going from 36 to 42. Not the best thing to try on the stock ESC as 10xl on 40mm props was already getting closer to 60.
I think that you will get very close to 60 on 9xl and x442, might have to play with the setup to get the best speed.

What 70 mph on just a 4 mm bump from factory on a 9 xl what batterys 4s or 5s. No way I have to see tge video for that to believe that lol

[Doby]

Put it in your car and drive down the highway....that will get you to 60!

oops... typo.. corrected.

Ya, kinda like that king ON 8s :)

[VIKOS]

Lol hmm 9xl on 5s I'll believe 60 maybe even with light weight batterys even and strut pitch at -1 or -2 with fresh balanced batterys. You'd have to go to 540's to get 70mph then the boat is probably heavy say 7 pounds.

leopard 2860 2700kv ,2 seaking 120s,40mm graupner props,on 2 hyperion 4s packs i run high 50s-low 60s very reliably all day long.ose has the props just get one regular and and one reverse rotation and the 3/16 brass adaptor sleeve for the flex prop shaft

I just toasted my port motor so it looks like upgrade time. I'm thinking leopard 2860 2700kv and 2 Seaking 120s. When I look at the stock setup, I notice that the motors appear different. One has three screws holding the end cap and the other only has one in the center. The port motor always ran about 10 to 15 degrees hotter. I checked the the drives and both were well lubed and turned freely. My question is are the motors different as they are counter rotating? The wires on the ESC to the motor are the same and not reversed. Since there is a split channel for the two ESC's you can't reverse one. Anybody else's motors look different?? Thanks for any info.

[tryinotocrash]

Hello Motor rotation can be changed by swithcing any two of the three wires coming from the motor to the esc. Be aware that the drive cables are wound as left and right. If you reverse the motor switch the cables as well or you could get an unwound cable mess. Not sure about the motors looking different.

[brushlessfreak]

the motors should be the same

[fleckster48]

Hey thanks and your right. It looks like its how they wired the power to the ESC. There are three wires going to the port side and two to the starboard.

[tryinotocrash]

??? Got pictures ? All brushless motors have three wires that I have ever seen.
