Hi everyone,
Today i did some bench tests on the motors. i tried to run the motor on 4 s... in my bath tub. i only did +/- 10 x 45 second bursts. the motors are still alive and ready to go. So....... tomorrow, i'll take the testing to the river and see what i can get out of those anonymous motors!!! But also, i will receive my new motors for this boat:http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s..._Inrunner.html And also my new upgrade, OSE flex shaft, should be here by the end of the week!

i will post video tomorrow!

Hi everyone! I went to the river today, to test 4s on the stock motors. They preformed pretty well! after a 6:00 total run, temps were 86.4 F +/- on both motors. The warmest element was the battery connectors at 105 F.

Here Some part of my run:https://youtu.be/JIrxeNEYqlw

Aslo, this was in front of my door:IMG_20150722_171512.jpg Now i only need the flexs and collets to get in!

77.7mph, eh? Since you already have replacement motors, have Dasboata sharpen & balance a set of those new ABC props for you & try to melt those stock motors so we'll all know their limit.

I'm not sure i can "melt" those motor on 4s. Temps are too low to burn anything. And i think it would be faster with 1.4 pitch props! I was thinking of x438/3 or x440/2.

[lt130th]

Swinging too much of an aggressive prop will burn them up even on 3s. But the new ABC prop's are giving guys a few extra mph while lowering the amp draw. So they're actually unloading the motor.

1515-17-45 38.1mm
1615-17-45 40.6mm
1715-17-45 43.8mm
1815-17-45 45.7mm
1915-17-45 48.2mm

1.5 pitch, two-blades... http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...7-45%282%29CLR

But I would order them from Chris (dasboata), sharpened & balanced.

Those looks good! But i don't know the difference between chopper and cleaver, so it is kind of hard to know what to get.

Actually, i rechecked my convertion table, and the real speed is 55.6 mph... sorry for this mistake. But i think i can get to 77 in no time!

The speed in your last video looks like 50's. I didn't want to be jerk & say that, plus it can be hard to translate speed from video sometimes. You should be faster with your upgrades & the right props. One bad landing at 70mph, these hulls will be toast without a lot of reinforcement. I saw you were adding more fiberglass, but some two-part foam in the front half, at least, might save it from a total loss.

[boilo56]

I don't know how i could translate 89 kph in 77 mph... Maybe i was dreaming awake!

[boilo56]

Hi everyone!

I went to the lake today. I mounted the turnigy 28-60 2730 kv motors and i put my X440/3 on it! Things are looking good no real heat issue. The temps were in the mid 90 for the ESCs, and low 100 for the motors and batts.https://youtu.be/iXagbjMsuGQhttps://youtu.be/MzWqrV9x1cc I will try to lower the struts about .5° for the next run, maybe i'll get a few more mph!

[boilo56]

Hi everyone! i just want to share this video with you all. It is my Flowmater running stock motor on 4s and X440/3.

Enjoy!

Could always rely on Luck to be the morality nazi around here... one inflated ego right there.

Don't worry about it...one member picking on another.

Your boat seems to be really nice and stable at the speeds you are running.
