Testing Pursuit with a 4074 1800kv 180a ecs and turtle modded x447/3 on 6s1p 55.8 mph

Thanks Dale.
This last video hear is a turd but I had to share how strong the hull is and the story,
I was just watching that nice real boat running around the lake.
And you could hear the prop hitting all the old tree,
Because the water is only three to four feet deep in most spot of it.
So my eyes where not on my boat all of the time.

And yes please do post some video's when you can.

She sure is a looker Lenny. Shows well on the water and handles the chop well.

[lenny]

Thanks yours will be very nice to I am sure.

You are going to love how the boat handle and runs,
And it is not really hard to get setup ether.
I think on mine the bow could come down a little and in turn it would gain a little more speed,
Because when I gps it, And than move the pack 3" to the bow I gained 5 mph.
But I have just been happy with the way it is running for now.

[srislash]

So where is the CG now then Lenny? I have mine worked in at 9 5/8 from transom. But I can still change that, and there is room both ways for battery movement.

[lenny]

Mine is at 10" with no cells in the hull but it does have the stock foam in the bow,
From looking at your pictures I would think it would be back more than the 9 5/8.

In side picture of hull lay out for now.

I have it dead on with 4s2p Len. I should try some lighter cells I suppose before I commit to motor placement. Really want to keep my options open, should try the 6s 3300's too ;-)

[lenny]

Couple more pictures of lay out for now.

New short video on a turnigy 6s 40c 5000mah pack and same setup,
And temps are below 100f on a full 5minute run.

Not the best video.

Nice! I think you just talked me into a 1800kv 4082 instead of the 1600kv for my Pirate.

The rooster looks nice and low Len, have you cupped that prop?
Looks good, still luvin' the paint

[TheShaughnessy]

I agree with srislash . Roost looks nice and low, solid stream. That turtle must have cupped it a bit for you.

[lenny]

Not sure if it is cupped,
Now that you mention it to me.
I was going to try moving the stinger down a hair or two and see what happens with the speeds.

Rick I do not know if the 1600kv may be better way to go for just running 6s,
The 4074 1800kv is more of a test guinea pig for this boat and the cells I have on hand.

It's running great on 6s. I especially like, and am a little surprised, by the 5 minute run time on 5000mAh.

[lenny]

I think it would do a little better with two packs in parallel and also better for the setup to.
And yes running pretty good now,
But for how long will it run great on 6s that is the real question.

[rickwess]

Check the specs on your motor. If the max voltage is 23V,then you are on the edge. You then have to decide if you buy 4s batteries or a 4084 to go with your 6s's.
