Sorry for misquoting you. I got that confused with where you said "proboats" are not legal 1/8th scales.

How heavy is your boat?? I have people running these at 60+ in hydro hulls. I think it comes down to what you want to use this motor for? I also have a gent racing this motor in a 1/10th scale boat and doing well. We are very close to being out of these motors and the testing is ongoing for the new wind. We feel we will be offering 2 winds one for sport and one for racing.
Both MSRP of $179.99
Thanks

Guys I would like to clarify some of the stuff I did say. Radtec and I are both running this motor and we both are running the same size prop. The octurta 460 is the biggest prop we can swing at this time but we are both using the castle controller. We are both having problems at full throttle with the controller surging. In my opinion this motor has a low KV for racing but is fine for someone who only wants a sport setup and doesn't want to go real fast. I get 52 mph on my sport hydro on 10s and I think Radtec is getting closer to 57 mph on 12s. That is to be expected considering the KV and prop size were running. We really need a different controller to see if the castle is holding us back or not. If it is I would add a few mph to our speeds and even more if you can run a bigger prop than what I'm running. I also think this motor would push a 55" boat just fine but at the speeds I posted. So you need to decide if this is what you want out of your boat or not. I still say this is a great motor for the money. We just need to do a little more testting to figure out what works and what doesn't.

Thanks Mark. I think the controller is indeed holding iit back from max rpm's at this point. I've had several tell me that the Turnigy Monster series works much better and they get another just about 5mph because of the higher rpm's. Now that CA Jets is done I will get after a 775Kv version of this and have Mark test it and see if it work better. Of course we will still have the esc issues until we can identify which one works best. I am also working with Radtek and once I get my hull to try out we will know more on set ups and such. But I think Mark will be our BEST source of knowledge on this and he certainly has the ability to prod us in the right direction

Where can I get the motor? Guy at epower or whomever handles your paypal transaction decided to refund me and told me to get it straight from you guys because I told him payment was recieved so Id like to know the status of the motor as far as shipping etc.I was a little bothered because I sent an email some days ago with no response .My patience is really running out on this motor.Ive lost two days in recieving my motor because people expect to get their pay then send the mechandise when they get ready , Naw I dont operate like that. Do cod if youre a procrastinator after the fact.Anyway i need the motor if its attainable.Comment
