    I hope people also realize that this motor and others like it that "WE" run can twist your arm off like a pretzel too

      Randy in the video are those water cooling lines on the flex shaft?

          I've been working on some oilers, but never heard of water cooling the tube.

          How do you keep it from blowing all over in the hull?

            I solder with two different temperature solders. It is a sealed cooling system on the stuffing tube. Unlike the oiler it is open at both ends.

              Ah, got it! Just runs water around the outside of the tube, not in the drive.

              That's pretty cool.

                So I just mounted up screamers motor into my yellow delta force sniper in my album... had a 2215 nue in it....

                Anyhow I mounted it as it fit on the existing mount that is very strong.... I can lift the boat by the motor itself..... feels secure.. Only thing is I am only using two screws to hold the motor to the mount.... has anyone else used a mount with only two mounting screws on a screamer? just wanna make sure it doesnt' snap the two screws....

                    I had six on the mount and two on the motor.

                      Thanks for the info Gents! both of you should know much better then I.... The mount itself has just four screws and epoxy but is very strong... and then the motor has just the two screws... I will give it a go at that... gonna start on 10s.... with a turnigy monster upfitted with watercooling.... I am gonna put the batts outside the stringers and try and find a safe place for the esc too... just in case she does come loose.... at least for the first hard run in:) Thanks again!

                      I am gonna start with a x455 on the 10s.... sound like a good start? not expecting blazing speed just wanna have a smoke free maiden.....

                          id stick with the x455. It has been proven to work with that power combo. Smaller dia prop may not load the motor enough.

                            I found the x460 the best prop for this motor.

                              With the mystery of how it a 8000 watt motor that wont turn a prop bigger than a 460 but a cheap 44 dollar kb will. It something wrong with the whole setup or the motor was designed wrong from the start. Or it needs a controller designed specifically for it or one that woks properly with it. if that motor is anything like its supposed to be it should turn a much larger prop. I think those cc esc's are not all they are cracked up to be or the motor is a 150 dollar piece of doo doo.As we speak the motor is still a mystery that everyone has just about given up on.No one that owns one is even talking about it anymore. And i hate to say it but so far it has shown me nothing to compete with an am mathe or a good gas engine that will turn a 460 without even thinking about it. The scorpions seem a much better and safer investment for 30 more dollars not to mention the extra weight of the water cooler that it doesnt need coz it cant turn a prop big enough to get hot. Just another mystery .You are crazy jason to let that 2215 go. whoever you did that with won big time on that deal. Youll see soon good luck though I hope you have the success you are looking for.The water cooler is trick though.
