My new SV

[Brushless55]

I was looking into that & I couldn't find one. Brushless do you like the s220 on your ul? Have you tried it on a SV?

they do make a 42mm 3 blade prop but it is for a 4mm shaft, I thought it was for a 3/16..

Yes I have tried the S220 on my SV and it worked good, made a big rooster tail, but I prefer a CF45 over it.. although the runtimes are better..
my fave is a CF48

Well I got to run on Monday with Diesel at Pineville Lake Park we had a blast his UL-1 is crazy fast. The prop of choice right now is GrimRacer 40/52X3 she ran 39.4 mph
Octura x642 ran 38.6
Prather B220 ran 38.1
C45 ran 36.5
C42 ran 36.2

Hey wizard, OSE has some S&B props in stock now.

Your strut needs some down angle and or your rudder needs adjusting. Whats the adjustment on them including you trim plates? Your rooster tail is too big if thats on plane and WOT full speed.

strut needs down angle?
rooster is to big! say what?
This is mine at 41-42mph! notice the rooster? it goes out of frame
my strut is at 0* and trim tabs at 0* as well

what prop brushless?

[Brushless55]

Diesel, I think that run is with a CF48..
I'm looking to run 5s this spring and need to get the right prop, maybe the stock size 3 blade but metal

[Diesel6401]

Sweet, how where your temps with that big of a prop?

[wizard122]

Hi D how are you? Spoke to Jan from Kintech today he says with the Ammo she'll do over 45 I'll need to prop down anyway my parts should be here by Monday so I'll let you know how I make out.

Hey what's up, I can't wait to see your SV scream with that motor. Looking forward to hearing how your testing goes. It's suppose to be nice Monday and Tuesday. For some reason hotmail won't let me email you the video I took for you. I may try sending from a different account. I will try this weekend if I remember. I'm at work right now. I also got my radar gun in the mail yesterday. Interested to see how it works with the boats.

[wizard122]

Very cool. See if you can upload it here?

[Brushless55]

Nice!
I don't think my motor temps have ever gotten over 120* and that was on the hottest day this summer.. but most of the time I see 100-105*, and cold waters only about 90*
and this is with the stock cooling setup!
I opened up the rudder pickup with a point file just a bit more...

[wizard122]

Well here we go ran her today and got her up to 46.3 MPH it was awesome can't wait to get closer to 50. The best run was with Grimracer 40X52/3 here are the photos enjoy

[z400]

Looks like it was running great!!
I cant wait to build up another 55+mph SV

What motor/esc/prop did you use?

[z400]

Feigao 8xl, 180amp turnigy and a s/b 642
There was more in it, i sold it (boat in my avater)
The guy i sold it to propped it down and got a low 60 # out of it.
He's a member on here.

[Brushless55]

Was the 8XL on 4s?
crazy speeds in a SV!

[z400]

No, that was on 16 nimh cells

[Rumdog]

Runnin good man. Nice flat roost!

[wizard122]

Well I switched every thing over to 5.5mm connectors today I thought I was never going to put my soldering pencil down all day I hope it will pay of. The last time I ran my boat the Deans plugs got hot and melted the shrink wrap with my new Ammo motor this should help

[z400]

There will be a big increase in power with your new 5.5mm bullets.
Alot less resistance!
Alot less heat!

Plus, i think they look better then deans.

You will love the 5.5mm connectors, they flow more current than deans..
also you do not need that series wire.. just connect battery neg to pos and esc neg and pos..
this way you can run 2s, 4s, 6s, 8s, etc..

[z400]

Leads might not be long enough on the batteries to do that.

you might have to solder up a small wire with a 5.5mm female on one end and a male on the other.

Great stuff, I am thinking I should make the jump to 5.5mm as well. I never was crazy about the deans.

[z400]

Yeah if you are still running Deans on your SV, you are outdated friend.

leads???
more than enough length. I run all my boats, cars, and planes this way..
more connectors could mean more resistance

For me, the 5.5mm connectors made a big difference

[wizard122]

Thanks all I didn't think of that.

can I charge two packs together that way too?

[Brushless55]

As long as you use both of your balance tabs hooked up to your charger..
my charger only goes upto 5A so I only charge one at a time.
