[dano1]

WOW!

Thats what i was wanting to use motor wise in my genesis, running same esc, that thing is freakin gettin it....thanks for sharing, that in series....correct?

[dano1]

Is that a custom made rudder relocate kit or did you purchace that somewhere?

[Howard Lee]

I bought this setup http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...prod=ose-80085 and used the strut for the 3/16 shaft and moved the rudder. The boat never handled with the stock setup. Now its much better.

[Howard Lee]

Can you send me details about the boat club in port st. lucie.

Nice! I would like to go 1 day.

We normally run the 2nd & 4th Sundays of the month there. Kind of a long haul from Hollywood tho.
BTW, that Genesis is COOKIN'

[Howard Lee]

[SANTAVY1]

WATCH OUT FOR THEM THERE GATORS!!!!!!!!! USED TO LIVE IN HOLLYWOOD YEARS AGO.
NICE SET UP BY THE WAY.

[Howard Lee]

Leopard 1500kv with turnigy 5000mah 30c 4s and 5s batteries. Esc is a swordfish 240hv and i set the timing to the middle setting. The prop is a octura x645 and the balance point is 13.25 inches from the rear. The boat will go faster, I'm just waiting on my new prop. If you run this setup on 9s DO NOT RUN A PROP UNDER A X645 you will over rev the motor.

Wow, Isn't 50,000 over reving the motor? I just got that motor for my 32" cat, I am going to run it on 6s. I guess I could cram a 3rd battery in there. I guess I am a RPM wuss too.

[Howard Lee]

The bigger the prop the less rpm. If you want to go fast you need rpm.

[6sHyper]

That thing is rippin!! Can i ask how did the batteries fit in there? 1 5s and 1 4s??

If you run this setup on 9s DO NOT RUN A PROP UNDER A X645 you will over rev the motor.

Really? I cant imagine the current that setup is pulling. Do you have anything to log current and voltage with? I ran a 1600kv 4082 in my 34" cat but it was an absolute current hog when I went over a s220 prop.
