District 7 has been fire-free as well in P-Limited Sport Hydro, our most active class. I'm on my 3rd season with my original UL-1 motor.
.
Going on my third season here in Dist 4 with my P-Ltd motors as well.:smile:
Is there a District which IS burning up spec equipment? :confused2:
.
Sigh...........
Must be from the use of extra "spec" heatshrink on the motor wires.
Guess not - good to know.Quote:

The UL-1 motor comes with a boat that includes a 60 amp esc. This is 60 continuous amps. I put my eagletree recorder on a boat in the early part of the year. In a race, I averaged 90 amps with bursts of up to 120 amps. My guess is that this is probably typically for everybody. I think this is why the motors go bad is that we are running them harder than they were designed for. Remember that it comes in a RTR boat with a smaller prop which is plastic.
sincerley,
been there done that------, and in my experience the motor is not the only thing that fails the esc usually goes with it, been there done that too many times. also seen it happen many more times.
I have seen people take out 120-240amp escs on these spec motors when they fail.
My Whip has a modified ride pads and even then prop size for heat racing is limited and it ran best in competition with the 42x66 [QUOTE]

The little 2030 motor is really too small for a boat that size and requires a prop too small for efficiency if motor temps are to be kept under control. Been there done that as have others, although I stopped before I actually burned one up. Others were not so lucky. That motor works well on a smaller hull like the FE-30 although you can easily prop it too big and burn it up - club members have done that.
