[Turbo Dan-O]

Another happy Pursuit owner checking in! Nothing special, just wanted to show her off and say thank you to the members of OSE. The "search button" is your friend with this boat. Tons of good info! Got all the little issues ironed out before it hit the water. She did great on the maiden voyage(in rough water). Fun boat! Thanks guys!!!

Specs:
Stock 1620kv "SSS" motor
T-180 ESC
Stock prop(42mm?)
COG 27%
Two 2S 4000mah Nano Tech batteries(4S)

More to come!!!

Been working on her and getting in lots of runs. Upgraded to whole cooling system, one piece drive shaft and put on a S/B M445 prop. It looked a bit faster than with the stock prop(33 mph) but I threw in the GPS today and was surprised with 41.3 MPH! I really need to get a better GPS as I'm using a big one for car use and it threw the weight waaay off. That ended up in a flip... Pulled it out and it was running great again(faster?). Still, 8+ MPH with just a prop swap. Everything came in under 100* after running the packs down to cutoff. Fun stuff! Back to work now...

The good news is you are no where near the top end for this boat and you have a lot more to go. I have raced this boat 4s and with a bigger prop you should easily get into the low to mid-50's without pushing it much. So lot's more speed to be had without pushing the limits. My version of this boat tended to run wet (lot's of hull in the water). If you see the heat going up, try moving the cog back a bit or lifting the tabs up. Have fun!!!!

Thanks for the info! Yes, I would love to break 50 on 4s. Going to try an M545 next. Any other prop suggestions? Also, plans are for a better motor and try 5 and 6s down the road.

On the 1600kv motor a Y547 is good.

On the first picture, i would invert the in and out on the motor water jacket... Bring water from the bottom to the top to avoid air in the water jacket. just my two cents!

Motor upgrade time! TP 4060!

About time dude!

What kv?

[Turbo Dan-O]

I know right! It's 1620kv. I just want to be able to up the voltage without worrying about the motor. This thing looks huge in the hull!

[Jamey]

Personally I think the 40mmx92mm is perfect in the pursuit! 1620kv aye? I feel like you may be thinking 6 cell in the future lol

That is a great kv if you want some flexibility. 4S will be pretty mild, 5S will run very nice and get you over 50mph, 6S will be a screamer!

[Turbo Dan-O]

Yeah, that was kind of my thinking. I want this to be a good all around boat but also be able to crank it up if I need to!

Just got everything in and bench tested. She is just about ready for a test run!
