So did you put the UL-1 motor in it?

I'm curious to see how my boat runs now, I've changed some things since the last time I had it in the water. Motor w/ Water Jacket - Water Pickup - 5.5 Bullet Connectors :D

[Krowbar69]

Yes i put the motor in... Bought the boat with just the hull and hardware. I installed the rest.. burnt up one esc and just put in a new seaking 90amp esc the other day... runs great!!! very fast.. blows doors on my old prather tunnel... lol

[domp444]

Oh alright, I wasn't sure if you actually did it or you wanted to, haha. It sounds like it runs pretty good, put up a vid if you have one!

[Krowbar69]

No video yet... wanna get used to the boat before i do that... Haha.. Im getting two hydro's and one is getting a ammo 2300 in it.. the shovelnose.

[domp444]

Haha alright, sounds good. I'm gonna try to get a video if I run my SV27 this weekend.

I'm waiting for my Pursuit from Kintec. He has it on order, with a Leopard 4074 motor and SeaKing 180 ESC. I'm psyched, but I've been waiting for a while, hopefully it comes in soon. Especially before the water freezes!

[Krowbar69]

Water.. freeze.... LOL... never heard of that.....:)

[domp444]

Hahaha! Well you're lucky cause you're in CA, although it should start getting warmer here in around April. So, back to boats :) I think I got a good month before things start getting too cold.

[Krowbar69]

Ya im pretty lucky i live here..weather's great year around. That Pursuit looks like a really nice boat. Diesel has one and did a really great job building it..

[domp444]

I love the CA climate, although I also love it here in NY. I'll be in CA sooner or later, I'm in college for film, so my career will most likely lead me there :)

I really hope the Pursuit comes in, it seems like an awesome boat.

Well, I'm gonna head off to sleep. It's 1am here, and I've got a midterm in the morning! Good luck with the boat and let me know how it goes! Goodnight.

Motor and Esc have they're own pick ups

[Joeyhatch11]

Will the Ul-1 motor work with the stock 45A esc on the SV?

[badag98]

Do not believe so, you will need the UL-1 ESC which is 60A

[Joeyhatch11]

Any good water cooled ESC from HobbyCity worth getting?

My brother-in-law runs the kintech tab/pickup combo. Keeps stuff good and cool.

I placed the SV27r water pickup on my SV27. Works great. I the process of painting right now. I also added the Kintec water jacket. Ordering more parts tomorrow. From tabs and a nose hook. Will post pics of paint job later this week.

[Joeyhatch11]

Is it smart to add an extra water pick up line and run it for just the motor or ESC? I have a stock SV27 on the way and not sure what should be upgraded or left alone.

[Tiddlertodd]

This is what I did when I got mine last December. Got use to running it first. Then upgraded the prop. and converted it to lipo's by adding a Lipo shield from Kintic racing, water pickup on the transom, port turn fin and changed out the water jacket on the motor. This just made me feel better because I didn't want to get to much heat in the motor and esc and is was a cheap change and easy to do. Gawd these things are money pits. But oh so much fun. Now ready going through a bunch of changes and upgrades.
