SeaKing 120 esc

[forescott]

Ok, got a chance to work on the ekos today. Removed the battery trays and ESC brackets. Ground down all the leftover epoxy with the dremmel tool. Decided to re-use the ESC brackets and re-epoxy them on top of the tunnel. My 3300 4s packs fit nice and snug in the sponsons. Got all my cooling lines hooked up. Decided to not use the motor mount cooling this time to minimize some of the spaghetti. Here's a few pics of the new layout.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hoping that the center of gravity isn't too far forward.

looks nice.
let me know how it does...thinking of doing just about
the same thing...
and my idea with the 640's is the same as the 38's
more pitch less prop.

Where did you find a counter rotating 640?

That looks nice.Ran mine today.Got 66.1mph.Also broke a wire drive and lost my brand new 442r.And broke my hull open.BE CAREFUL RUNNING THE 442'S!To me its not worth the damage.Im definitley going back to the 38's.Ill post a pic soon.Im gonna hang the EKOS up for a while so I can think of how Im going to fix it,or if Im even gonna fix it.Pretty bummed.I really like this boat,but its been my biggest headache in FE.I wonder how much a bare hull is?Or where to get one?Hell,it doesnt even have to be a King of Shaves hull.Just a 32" cat with no holes in it.
