Got my revolt

[MAMBA2200]

well i got my revolt yesterday overall i am very happy here is a few things i noticed
-all the gear on the back is way loose (no biggy)
-i got no owners manual or stickers
-when i turn the prop the motor wiggles back and forth
-there was nothing holding the hatch on so its scratched allot around the hatch hole (again no prob)
- i do have lock nuts on all hardware thats a plus
it almost seems like i got a boat that someone else had returned but i can fix all that is needed here is a video of the motor wobble

thanks grim i have contacted omni thats where i got it from but so far have had no responce will give them a chance to make it right first

You appear to have either a bad coupler or a bent motor shaft. Try removing the coupler and spinning the motor shaft to see which is bad. It's possible the coupler is cross threaded. Video is a bit shaky and too short to look closely.

[MAMBA2200]

well they are sending me the missing item and i think the wobble is flex shaft which i have already got the upgraded shaft so all is good i can fix the rest

Check out my gallery I mounted the ET to balance the boat out side to side. Aeromarine flex collet and Hughey shaft is what I am running trouble free. Stock prop runs good 45x68 pulls more amps but adds mph.
Have fun man.

well i got the rest of my parts and it was the flex shaft bent i dont see how they crammed it in there gonna call aquacraft today and see if they will send me another because this one is crap but i have the upgraded cable installed and all is wellphotobucket-15101-1348492385892_zps7b975a8e.jpg

[bruceisla]

Well .... you may be expecting a bit much. Flex cables flex .... that doesn't look like a kink (sharp bend).

[MAMBA2200]

this i know when i pulled the old one out it had like a 45 degree bend on the end of the cable

[stadiumyamaha]

I wouldn't bother getting them to replace the stock flex. They are so suspect that you don't want to risk losing a good prop. Many times they fail in the first couple of minutes. Jmo

[MAMBA2200]

i hear ya think i will take that advise

[MAMBA2200]

well its all done and ready for its first run here is some final picsphotobucket-35263-1348580145245.jpgphotobucket-26975-1348580127743.jpgphotobucket-18967-1348580114016.jpgphotobucket-35347-1348580158128.jpg

Looks great! And good luck on your maiden voyage! Very exciting! If you get a minute, I'm most interested in how the Seaking ESC works out for you? Are you starting out with the timing at 11.5? What do you have the LVC set at? I guess I'm most interested in what type of warning you get when your batteries start to run down. With the stock ESC there's a feature called "Studder Bump" but basically if this happens you really have no time to bring it in and you get stranded. I have taken measures to overcome this by just running for a few minutes and bringing it in while it's still running fast, but it sure would be nice to maximize my running time. Anyway, sorry for being long winded, just really interested in how well your ESC works and what kind of warning you get.
Thanks,
Tom

Hardpacks?

If so the 4mm bullets leading to the pack are just not going to cut it.

[MAMBA2200]

I ran the boat stock, the stock speed control is rated for 50 amp continious, after buring out the motor/speed control in mine 3X they gave my my money back

When you get a chance, post some pics of the melt-down so we can see exactly where the heat was excessive.

[traeside]

also how long are your wires? keep them as short as you can and put some 5.5MM conectors on there.

the heat was right where the wire went into the battery

[bruceisla]

So .... right here at the tip of the arrow .... correct ??

[MAMBA2200]

yes but the batts are the kind with the 4mm connector prob just too much amp draw on those connectors

[MAMBA2200]

figured i would sharpen and polish it up hope you like photobucket-17741-1349111036486.jpgphotobucket-47384-1349111021616.jpg
