102 mph mono subs and smokes!

I'm still trying to figure out why he thought he could get away with that coming out of a corner as he was. She had to spin for sure.

hm, maybe i don`t understand.
You think the problem was the cornering?
The boat was stable when going into the straights.

Already running straight, light and fast i used the throttle which was left (a friend of me said "go go", which translates into a fast pull of the trigger in my hands, even i knew that i cannot go faster). That punch lifted the whole back of the boat (you hear slightly titching), then the nose splashed on the water. Brain and fingers were disconnected tenth of a second

Mark, everything you can simply buy new does not matter. But invest 3 years in a hull which then is dead was the bad. It is a Virus made by Tom Lorenz.
Built a new one, but it is not that stabile and fast like the old one (got something around 96mph one way trap, 94 avg). Has something to to with the running surface even they look identical. One day fast, one day absolute no stability.
Looking forward at your work with 10S.

Peter, i tested the limit of the 160 (old ones). At 380A straight current (peak around 480A) you desolder some parts with two passes.
In my 1:6 Hydro i drove the esc in endurance up to 350A peak. No problem.
You can ignore peak, look at the straight currents.

Ralf,...it just looked to me that the boat really did not have time to get good and straight and settle before she was opened up but maybe that was just what I saw in the video. It looked like it hooked from where it landed that was why I thought she was really not straight when you gave her the power.Bummer to see the smoke!

[Ralf]

ah,. okay.
she was basically straight, the increased punch lifted the back, slight titching, and the torque induced instability to the right side, pushed the nose on the rightside into the water (hooks). thats why she landed far away towards right.

that was the impression i got on the throttle when i thought about it afterwards.

do not know what would be the better alternative: action like on the vid or a clear dive of the boat. Essentially it doesn`t matter, the hull was already broken and the cells damaged because of the hard deceleration when the nose hitted the surface.

Rolling in to the throttle was the correct thing to do. I have seen it many time in SAW set ups if you punch it it causes prop walk extreme and spin out. .

Great info Ralf thanks a bunch - I figured with me pushing it to 275amps I was close - I guess I still have some room now

[Ralf]

Or say: no problem currently :)
You only have to look at the temps what is normal for endurance setups.

Last but not least the most beautiful and original boat was in my opinion this "GLIDER"

BTW: it was n° 4 in the classification (159 km/h)

Thats just..... I dunno? You have words for it?

[ray schrauwen]

Hey Ralf! Good to see you post.

Do you still have your 32" Cat with home made hardwaRE & ESC ?

[Ralf]

Thats just..... I dunno? You have words for it?

sick?

Hi Ray, hm, i never had a 32" cat

[ray schrauwen]

Sorry, had you confused with Gerwin...
