    Default Upgrade motors for the King of Shaves.

    I have some feigao 380 XL motors on the way for the dual cat. Should be a big improvement.

    I've had one customer running 10L motors. But I would suggest waiting for the xl series.

    Those props are waaay too big. I get 36mph on venoms 36mm pro machined props. The little 380 motors dont have enough torque to spin a 47mm prop. They will spin, but the rpm is significantly reduced and the motors get extremely hot trying to push those big wheels. You're not gonna get much more speed then mid 30's on 3s. If you want more speed you,re gonna have to swap out the motors for something with higher quality and bump up to 4s. Take your time. Happy boating!

    I just ordered the fiego 380 l motors, water jackets, water outlets and xtra tubing. I took the water outlets off the motors and put them on the motor mounts. I have 4 ektra brass tubes that ill mount on back so motor, mount, and esc each have there own intakes and outlet. Ant ideas on who makes the best and smallest 4s lipos and B/S props besides venom. Allready have a set of 36 mill machined props. Hope the order comes in asap.

    Wednesday is my day off sort of, I'm not in the office, but orders still ship. The quickest way is the contact page from the OSE website. A FYI, most all the orders placed yesterday have already been shipped this morning.

    Not much out there as far as counter rotating props are concerned. The 36mm venoms you have are great props. I'm not posotive but check ose's website details on the feigao L-sized motors. I think they are only good up to 3s lipo. Thats why I'm waiting for the XL's. They are rated for 4s.

    Ill have to buy them next. But have been lookin for lipos. Found a few 4s 5000 models but what does 25c or 30 c mean. Do i want the highest c and millamp rating i can fit. My charger can only charge up to 5000 mill. The c rating is what gets me and if my esc can handle it.

    Check out hobbyking.com and their turnigy lipos. They are inexpensive and a lot of guys on the forum use them including myself and they work great! Go for the 30c rating, no less than 20c.

    I just got my 4s lipos in and im going to reprogram the esc. I also have my 3s lipos. Would i have to reprogram the esc every time if i want to run the 3s lipos?

    No, look in your manual. There is a setting for "auto calculate"

    Up the power and you may consider upping the drive train. Any way to pull the teflon out and run a 150 shaft in them? I know a 150 cable will be too big for the 4mm shaft...wonder if those can be upgraded>.?

    I am waiting on RH cable and I will be offering cables to fit the factory stuff. The struts may be able to have the bushing removed and upgraded to 3/16" shafts. I just finished some 4mm shaft stingers doing this for a guy.

    Get my new couplers and 130 cable system with the same shaft as stock and then you will have something to handle the power and torque. You will need it.

    Once you guys decide on the right one I will get more. I have 5 more of the 9xl motors on order. I thought I ordered 10, but only ordered 5. I figure either that or the 8xl will be the ticket.

    So you guys figured 8xl is the one to go for a 3s and 9xl for a 4s?
    You would get more speed out of a 9xl on a 4s right?

    What props would you go with x442 and x442r?

    9xl's got me 55.2mph on 4s with 40mm carbon props. 442's L&R are what I'm gonna try next!
