Upgrade motors for King of Shaves

[BILL OXIDEAN]

Rum, it was absolutely ballistic! I did a pass at 70 hit a carp and the thing jumped up into a corkscrew like I've never seen a vessel come into.

sonofa bisquit slapped real hard then sunk to the tips, I saw smoke and was puzzled

Fortunetely, they put enough flotation in from the factory or it would have been wet suit time for me.

She came back with a long split in the hull
Bummer, because not only was it singin' like anita Baker when she came undone, but I had just re-routed the cooling into the trickest custom setup I've ever seen.

I routed the jump those from motor to motor to cool the lower row of fets on the speedo and not a drop of water leaked!

I have been reading your build thread with great interest, and was sadden when I learned of the "giant carp" incident. The hull looks repairable, and I hope to see your reports continue once the repairs are completed.

I have one of these boats, which is completely stock at the moment, and only run on little kid batteries, so it all still works. I will be very interested to see how fast your boat will go, once she is "back on her feet". I appreciate your willingnesss to be my R&D facility! Once you get her all dialed in, I can start ordering my new parts.

You may consider finding different body of water, "carp free", for the next round of testing. I don't know if you have seen pictures of the real KOS after it flipped or not, but it to suffered damage to the side of the sponson. Which happily, was repaired successfully for the next race. I think their repair costs were higher than yours will be, or at least we can hope that is the case.

I am sorry about the unplanned aerobatics and hard landing.

Used the stock flex shafts and used 2 left hand rotation 32mm Venom red cnc aluminum props.
.

How did it handle with 2 same rotation props ?
Some folk tell me that is not a good game to pleay but i know that you know your boats so I'll listen to you too.

Whoever told you that told you the truth. it pulls to the right at takeoff and has a tendancy to hook to the right, but in a straight line once you get going you're fine..

As I advance through the Novak equipment I'll bolt on a speedo that incorperates reverse rotation..

[Rumdog]

So, being sensored, you can't swap the motor leads to change the rotation?

[BILL OXIDEAN]

With some speedos this is possible, but Novak's sensor data is in the software so onlytheir newer versions are reversing..

[BILL OXIDEAN]

My EKOS is mended and getting prepped for the water again!

[BILL OXIDEAN]

Here's the EKOS in action. I changed to bigger rotors and speeds went down but so did temps DRAMATICLY!!!
It comes in cold, it could run some bigger props and more timing..

What about the castle mamba max pro. Should have reverse rotation with sensored motor, but would need some creative cooling. Awesome vid by the way.

Thanx man! I'm not familiar with the castle systems, but Novak now has a reversing speedo for me!

I'll get the speeds up for ya' and shoot a new vid..
