Livewire's EKOS Build

[Livewire121]

Oh one more thing, I've read every thread on this venom board front to back ten times over. And I've read every complaint, problem, and short coming, to bad Venom doesn't listen to their customers. I really think they've missed the boat on this one!!!

Looks good bro I hope she runs good for you the only problem is that your esc's are most likely aren't gonna be up to the 6s task. I would use the t-180's over the sf-200, and if you can spend even a little more get the etti 150 opto's. I have used all three of those esc and I punished the crap out of the ettis.

Thanks for the reply Bill. I've looked the specs over on this new boat, but I can't see any difference between it and my EKOS when it was stock. Is there something I missed?

Its mainly our new boats that have been improved, but I do know that my newer Ekos has upgraded motors and bracketery..

What are the specs on the new motors? Aren't they 380 2700kv out runners, with the 380 clamp mounts?

Hey Bill,
Here's an idea release a limited edition EKOS, one with parts Atomic already sells. Use the 2200kv out runners from the P1, the larger clamp motor mounts, and your 120amp esc's. I would bet that this boat config would have been less criticized and would be more competitive against other rtr's in it's price range ($600). But I do understand that at this price point, it would cut into the profit margins.
Food for thought.

Well its been a while since my last post. But during that time I had some .078 wire drives with 3/16 stub shafts made and I drilled the stringers out to 3/16 aswell. I'm in the process of completing the wiring and hoping I can take her for a maiden run this weekend.

[Livewire121]

Thanks Ray! I'll know how well the build went on sunday of there's no

I took her for a run yesterday and it went well. I have to make a couple adjustments to the stingers (trim up) to get the transom to stay planted, but in all I was very happy. Here's a couple short videos of her running on 6s. The first video is her running a set of 42mm props and the second video is her running 45mm props.
