Hi Everyone,
I have built a Mini Mogli (my first built boat) - The Mogli seems to run fast (similar to a super vee) and handles well. I am using a stock SuperVee motor and SuperVee ESC and a Spektrum TX/RX.
I wanted to ask the pro's out there for some advice as to why the motor and batteries get extremely hot after taking the boat back into shore? I believe this has caused a cell to burn out in both my IB4200 packs and in my IB3800 packs which is now a concern.
I have the waterline going into the ESC and then into the Motor. Run time is generally around 8 minutes. A steady water stream is constantly flowing from the water outlet. There doesn't appear to be any binding with flex shaft. Regularly l grease the flex shaft and put a small amount of oil in the stuffing tube. The ESC stays cool and no where near as hot as the motor and packs.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on preventing the motor from heating up. To give you an idea of the motor’s temperature, the water jacket is extremely hot i.e. You could not touch it with your finger for very long.
I have attached a couple photos to give you a picture view.
Thanks in advance.
