X442s

Just got my modded X442s from ICE329 this week they look good.I will run them this weekend with my data logger and see how many amps they draw.UPDATE; Props work great,motors and all electrics stayed well below 140F.I could not do long full throttle passes because of wind and chop but amp load was low under these conditions.The Feiago 380 8XLs work great on 3s with the modded Octura props and with 9XLs you could probably get away with just B&S X442s on 3s battery packs.The sound of the new setup is great,I love the twin screw howl.

So are the motors sopost to spin towards each other or away from each other..forgot how I had the motors plugged in to each other....

Inward towards each other. If you accidentally switched the props and not cables, or have the cables running in the wrong direction, they will unwind and snap!

Or might look like this: http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...5&d=1274907255

(this happened when I held the motor hex instead of the prop and tightened the prop nut. The cable came partially unwound in the tube.)

Well it works first try lol just plugged wires into each other. Now I just need to order new prop nuts and dogs cause one flew off. Lol but the shaft is still nice and tight lol. Time to order more from rcraceboat lol more to come after that. Maybe a video at the marina you guys will like it.

Get the ones from Jeff. Good quality, not like the stock junk. The aluminum prop nuts are poorly machined and the threads are often messed up.

You don't know how many hours I searched the net looking for a wiring order the first time I installed a brushless system. Then learned it doesn't matter which plug, just what order. Forward or reverse.

Many thanks to Jan at KINTEC RACING ( http://kintecracing.com/ ) and Jeff at WOHLT'S RC BOATS ( http://www.rcraceboat.com/ ) for coming through with the replacement parts to float my EKoS. They came through with stock that VENOM GROUP INT. could not. They were top notch to deal with and fast delivery. Prices were better than VGI. They are also based in the U.S. Looking forward to checking out the upgraded couplers and wire drives.

They are 2 of the best in the biz. Welcome to OSE and Steve the owner of this fine forum is another GREAT guy to do biz with! Happy boating!

No slight to OSE and Steve intended. Unfortunately, I came across OSE and joined this forum after I ordered the parts for my jinxed KoS. Not a recommended buy in my opinion as this boat has given me nothing but problems. Compounded by Venom's inventory problems and inability to provide replacement parts.

Most EKOS users are finding out things the same way you did, THE HARD WAY. Venom normally only comes on this forum to push a new product. You will find Aquacraft, Proboat, Skunkworks & Minicatracingusa desigers and owners on this site that will give you all that support that you need and are really helpfull.

The EKOS was a tough pill to swallow after I bought it and learned the hard way about its reliability.I have close to $1000 in mine upgrading and replacing junk that went bad.That includes the price of the hull.But,after I did upgrade and replace everything,its been my favorite boat to run.Venom can suck it.Stick to the above mentioned sites for hop ups.And buy the steel drive dogs.

9xl's + S&B 442's + 4s=66.1 mph.
Dont do it.

I wonder if one were to fill the inside of the hull up front with that great stuff foam spray that expands if it would help hold it all together by helping avoid cracking and splitting of the hull. Plus it would add flotation Id think.

I wouldn't go there. Bad things can happen.
