Ok guys I have a spare 15t motor laying around still new in its package and I wonder is it possible to run this with the stock esc? What is the esc turn limit?

ok thanks!
I think the weak link on this boat is the esc..

Yea UPDATE I ran this new boat today at the local lake and about halfway through my 4000mah 2s 25C lipo the esc gave out. So when I got home I realized wait a minute I have all the electronics out of my Apache 24 which is under construction right now so I did some soldering and moving of things and came up with this.......
It should do for now in a few weeks I am going to get a VXL3S system from my friend. And i will run that with a better cooling jacket on the motor with a 3s and see where it goes from there!

yea i think im going to run a cheapo 19t bb mod motor from my lhs for now im actually thinking now that the vxl will do much better in the apache so ill use the rio for rescue purposes LOL not that its not loved!
LOL yea i know thanks diesel the apache esc thats in there now is running great even with my 2s with no problems go proboat haha j/k
Diesel here is one on a 3600kv motor and 3s everything else besides the esc of course is stock and it seems to be fine to me. Now keep in mind i understand it will need to slow down some before turning sharply but it seems to handle ok here......

the vxl motor with a good water cooling jacket.
that video does not look like a VXL powered Rio ep on 3s..

No i did not say the guy in the video was using a vxl system i said i am using the vxl system in mine and i was showing the video becuase it had a brushless system in it that had basicly the same kv rating and cell count

im not saying that you said you were confused i was just clarifying for you 55. I dunno either that or its like a 15-20c 3s just a guess on my part. anyways ill be ordering 2s and 3s so i can try both.
Clarifying, I'm not sure what that means?
I was asking about the video not your setup, because the video looks slow for a 3600kv motor on 3s with a 42mm prop.
the video you posted that I was talking about looks more like he may have used a 2s pack or even a 6cell nimh pack with that motor and prop

hmmm interesting i will have to try the 2s first then and if im feeliing lucky and heat is low then ill try the 3s
Well I ran it with the current setup with the apache esc and the apache motor and the motor died within two runs on the 2s lipo. So then I swapped in a venom 15t motor I had laying around that was used once before for a run to test in the apache and within one run the apache esc died. Thats just my luck

I am now considering I used all my leftover electronics up in this boat
Just have to wait for more money now
bummer!
