Here is a clip of dad and I running the hydro's. Dads bud laid down for some reason. Probably better because we would have probably cut each others boats in half eventually.

FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction! -
hydros arent suppose to turn left guys, keep em going fast around a couple of right turns -
Usually do stick to right hand turns but it did pretty good going left also. And yes i do realize at speed they won't turn left. This was my second run with the Align motor and was just toying around. Most my run was at 3/4 throttle or less. The day before it gps'd at 58mph running on the ragged edge of blowover.FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

which align motor the 1800kv one?Comment
-
Its the 600xl 1650kv. Weighs about 300g with around 1600w supposedly. Made a water cooler for the exterior but still got pretty hot. Think I need to turn the fins off for more cooling volume inside the can.....FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

on what 6s? if you turn off the fins you still wont be able to go any larger on the inside bore than if the fins were on... correctComment
-
yeah 6s. Well I was just thinking that the difference in volume might help (fins missing) and would help the flow inside also. I may be over-analyzing the whole thing. I have a tendency to do this.FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

oh you put fins inside the can? yeah get rid of em, i put fins on the outside for more cooling areaComment
-
Im sorry I was kinda unclear. Its the factory fins on the motor not the interior of the can.FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

Is your Elam a nitro hull gone electric? Thats what I have sitting on the project bench right now...Comment
-
Finally got my Elam in last night, yours looks fast! Going to check if you have more info or pics of yours if not you should post some!Comment
-
Yes it was a nitro hull originally. Tight fit for everthing but fun.......
Thanks guys. If not for Jesse and Darin's build I would not be going this fast! I'll post some pics later today when I get home. Again, I basically copied Jesse's 2mm wire design. He has alot of knowledge on these boats and helped me out a bunch!FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

Here are a few shots of the Lam and one of the Bud. The lam has been beat up several times and is no beauty queen but an experimental boat before I build another one.FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment
