Hi Guys!
My name is Bob and I am the R&D department for Littlescreamers. I've been watching the posts here all week while waiting for my forum account to be validated. Now that I can post, let me try to help with a few things

Castle Controllers are great! Problem is they never leave their firware alone. They are constantly trying to improve which is great, but it makes it very hard to keep up with settings that work. Settings that work on version 3.14 do NOT work on later versions. So when telling us about issues please be sure you mention which version of firmware you have so I can keep my files updated and give you the best possible settings information.

Now with all that said, let's make some rooster tails!

Nice, but I think it's to narrow?

Oh no :D It RIPS!!! It uses 2 of our smaller motors and it really performs. We can't show video of it yet, but maybe by the weekend the builder will release the info The smaller boat is 23" not 33".

Bob welcome to the forum. I will have to check into why it took all week. We activate accounts every morning, except Wednesdays and some Sundays.

I understand, but being the impatient person that I am I hate to see someone have to wait so long.

Bob, the castle boat controllers dont have any of the airplane features. You only have 1 firmware to choose from and you can only adjust your timing and low voltage cutoff and thats about it. I ran this motor on normal timing and low timing. It worked great on both. It just didn't have any of the speed I was hearing about. I dont have any other controllers to try with this motor. I am doing this testing for Jeff Michaud at insane boats. We would like to see this motor work so if you got a controller that I can borrow I will give it another try. I own several Neu 2215 and 2230 motors and know what there capable of and would like to see this motor fall in there somewere between the two. I talked to Castle as well and they said they didn't know when they would upgrade the firmware on the boat controllers. By the way I do follow the jet forums so I know what this motor is capable of.

Thanks Mark. We are getting controllers now to test with. We know that the XPS Hydro is using the Turnigy Monster 2000 and there was a HUGE difference in performance. Like I said, Castle is awesome, but their firmware is based around Large inrunner motors. We are working with another company (soon to be named ) and they are using the HV-240 water cooled esc. We will be running some stuff this weekend so I will get first hand knowledge of what's going on.

What esc was used in the video posted a couple pages back? That seemed to work pretty well? I don't have any data logged from that run, but it looked and sounded good.

Bob, I think he was using the Schulze 40-160. I would get the turnigy controller but I'm saving all my pennies to get the Schulze 40-300 for my SAW boat.
Bob, I dont know if you remember me but you have met me at the midwinter electrics a couple of times. Troy Peterson usually hangs out in my pit and you would have seen me then. I fly F5d and F5B as well as lots of stuff inbetween. I use to do boats before airplanes and I was national high point champion back in 1998. I then started the electric only SAW event in Los Angeles which is where most of the records were made in NAMBA. I am the current record holder in T Mono and have broke numerous other records over the years. If you would like help with boat testing I would be glad to help. I live in orange County and test out at Legg lake. I know Jeff at Insane boats would like to see this motor work out as would others. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.

Thanks Mark! I'm using this weekend to get ready for CA Jets at the end of the month. Maybe we can hook up next weekend at the lake?

So the best settings for a CC Hydra 180HV with version 1.04 firmware would be??

Doby, Bob was referring to the airplane controllers. The only thing you can play with on the Hydra is the timing. I didn't see much difference between low and normal. You will have to play with it to see what works for you.
