I run my gesisis with the stock motor and a 40mm prop, on 4s & a HW 180 esc. The motor is getting to 170 after a run. I have plenty of water flow. The strut is level with the bottom of the hull. I set it by putting the boat on a table & lowering the strut untill it was flat on the counter. This is how (Tiqueman or Scott ) told me to set the strut as a starting point. Is anyone else getting motor temps that high ?.
If I remember correctly. Alfa Spirit said: It was a GIFT from the manufacturer.
Steve here at OSE ran it stock and smoked the motor and esc. Looks good on the 1521 though!
Did you try raising the strut? Did it look to be running wet? Maybe a smaller prop? Id look at all those options first. Sounds like it was just loading up too much. What was the esc and batt temps?
The Neu or castle will fit the stock mounting holes... you may have to do someting about the forward support though?
Hi Scott
I could'nt remember if you said to raise or lower the strut, so i did'nt do either . How much should i raise it for my next run ?. The lipos were around 120 & i would say the esc was a little hotter than that. It looks like the smooth can neu might fit into the RR brace. If not i can make up something, the smaller stock prop broke on the First outing.
I was doing some test runs on mine, seemed to handle best with the strut in the most bottom position. I managed to stick a Feigao 10xl 580 motor. With a small water-cooler it went on ok, but when I got one with a large OSE water-cooler I has to cut two notches into the motor mount to clear the motor. It seems to work well so far with the stock prop, had about5 runs. Will try going to a x440 next ans see how that goes.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but this hull and paint scheme is a closely resembles a Mystic C5000R Pretty cool. Just thought I would mention sense I'm bored lol. http://www.mysticpowerboats.com/
Id go up first and see what happens. May bring your temps down, but could affect hanlding... Like I said via our phone conversation, my best run yet was about 3mm higher than stock adjustments will allow you to go ( I filed the strut slot up some) and I think I was on a 440? My batts were the only thing that got hot, ut they were crappy Reedy 20C batts. Havent tried it yet on 40Cs. I still havent even got mine back together. Too much going on lately.
There was a link to programming the stock esc from the Genisis, on here. I can not find it . If someone could post it here i would appreciate. Thank you for your help .
Thanks for posting the question. :)
I did a quick search and found it in the thread...here is a link to the specific post...

For those of you running the Genisis on 4s . Were are you placing your lipos in relation to the stock battery tray ?.
Raceboats stingers are long enough (13 cm), I can mount X442 or X447 using the bullet nuts and position of the propellers will be perfect for this hull
Very clean mount. Thanks to VV, nice parts my friend

Here is the setup for this 39" cat, propellers will be X442 or may be X447
Give me your advice guys,
First 2x5S or 2x4S?? 35000 RPM unload?

What setup would you choose? 2x4S or 2x5S for this cat?
Is 35000 RPM unload a good value?

GOT MINE TODAY,,,YYiipppeee, cant wait to get it wet,,Thanks again Alfa for the hook up on where to get it sence everywhere was backordered.....
If you dont have lipos in that order i would say like 2 or 3 weeks,,eeeek.
My brother has the hoobyking genesis and he says the hull cant handle the power and ties itself in knots, he had sss4082 motor, octura m447 prop on 6s, any help or thoughts thanks
What kv is the motor and can you describe the problem In more detail?

I run a 4084 leopard 1800kv with seaking 180A ESC on my Genesis with a 40mm 1.6 high pitch prop and offset rudder. It's a good setup for 6S. Temps on batteries/ESC/ motor are all right around 105-115 after a good hard run.
