Brand New Mini Mono ESC Questions. 2013

[Garrett]

I just got this boat in the water the other day, and it ran fine. I was running it today and she crapped out after 30 seconds of being in the water. I pulled her out and everything looked fine, re connected the battery and went thru the pre boating check list. lol. make sure everything works! steering and throttle. everything worked, and about 30 seconds after that the motor wouldnt spin at all even at full throttle. I've read the Forums on the topic and I'm curious if the Hobby Wing SeaKing 60 http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...ker-seaking-60 would be too much. I've got a SeaKing 180 in my Proboat Mystic and its been a dream to run, totally flawless, Plus I've got the programming card. I was looking for a 40a esc, but I like the way the 60 is constructed, with the water cooler built in, and compatible with my programming card..

does anyone have any experience with an upgraded esc in a Mini Mono?

Even though I don't have a Mini Mono, I can tell you that the Seaking 60 amp ESC would be very good for the out runner you have, I had a similar out runner in another boat that I am using this ESC, bullet proof. Also, I have a Hydro that uses this: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...ker-seaking-35 in place of its original ESC, the motor is just like this one as well.. This little ESC has also proved to be extremely reliable. Here is a vid. with that ESC and motor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiT_t...ature=youtu.be

looking to put a Velineon VXL - 3m Brushless Power System:1/16 by Traxxas into this little hull. I stopped by the local hobby shop, and bought a 40A ESC. It looked the same as the Stock AquaCraft 20A ESC. And unfortunately it didnt fix my problem. it'll run for about 5 minutes, then stops. Its like the motor wont spin, or has a spot where it wont turn. (hard to describe). Guess I should get an inrunner for it and quit messin with the outrunner motor.

Have you checked the LVC on the new controller.....what battery are you using?

[Garrett]

LVC? what is that? Im using a G-Force 1000mAh 30c 11.1v 3 cell

[Rocstar]

Low Voltage Cutoff. What 40A esc are you using? There should be instructions. There are few parameters that need to be set.

[czegard]

I have a Seaking 60A in my MM. Some minor mods, and it fits nicely.
If you are running stock, just put a Seaking 30A, really good.
I just change to a 60A ESC because I am running another motor.
Here is a pinture, let me know if you have any question.
Cheers.

Looks good!

Hey nice mod,
You new you could get it in there.
The open spot is for your cell right ?
With that little extra weight it should ride a little better,
And also handle some chop to.

Yes, the open spot with velcro is for the cell.
The extra weight doesn't make any diffrence at all. I have a 3600kv motor, and at top speed it bounces from side to side....maybe it was to much juice for this little hull :)
I am playing with some stuffs and trying to eliminate the bounce.

I installed a Traxxas 380 Velineon VXL3m into my mini mono. And it loses it's stability at 1/2 throttle. But it's a fun little boat. Wish I could find an aluminum rudder.

Are you with the stock trim tabs?
What pop are you running?
Any small aluminun rudder works.
Post a picture of the electonics and outside.

Yes, I'm still using the stock trim tabs, I cut the turn fins off, less drag on the water. I'm running the 432 Octura copper propeller with a prop tail nut. I also installed an autobailer. I upgraded the prop shaft, Teflon lined, a new coupler, and a flex cable. I noticed if you cut a small hole in the cowling when it flips, it will take on water, then self right itself. Pictures on the way.
