Rio EP prop help.

[lenny]

Hey,
Welcome home.

Did you have a nice swim ?

I do not see the pictures.

[Benjamin]

Haha , yeah it was fun. The pic should be on my profile. i tried to upload it on this post. IMG_6144.jpg Oh i tried the 440/3 on the Rio today.

[lenny]

Ok so how did it run with the x440/3 ?
Or was there to much stuff in the water to till.

[Benjamin]

Yeah there was to much trash to get a good run. It seemed faster and motor got warm.

[lenny]

I forgot what esc you running,
What is it again.
If it was my boat I would move the esc to the port side,
And right in front of your lipo pack.
Also I would shorten all the wires up to,
That will help lower the resistance and amp draw,
And keep temps in check to.
I think that would make it ride a lot better and air it out some more to,
If you decide to do it,
Just go easy with it and see how it rides.
It may get to loose, and if it does will try something else next.
Make sure you get some good video of it from it's side,
Going buy you for a nice run up and back a couple times so I can see how it is ridding.
Also it would great if the water was almost glass to,
Just to see how it rides a little better.
Motor got warm, Give me some temps on the setup after a two minute run.

Hey Lenny, i posted pic's of my new lay out on the Rio.

[Benjamin]

I posted videos on YouTube of my new setup. 3s , 1800 kv and 90 amp ESC.

[lenny]

Hey,
I took a look at the pictures today.
Look like my setup almost.
Do you have a link to the video on you tube.
I have been helping with this one on hear,
It has come a long way and running pretty good so far.

Yea I looked at yours and kinda copied it. 2001international73l is my channel on YouTube.

[lenny]

I found them,




Hey Ben,
Look in the video post on hear,
I just did some speed runs with my Rio and my Mystic on sunday.
The boats still need some work to go full throttle,
But they are getting there.

[lenny]

Looks like yours is running better,
And getting a little more aired out now.

[Benjamin]

Yea I couldn't open it up on 3s. It was to rough. I plan on trying different props on a better day. I will post more vids as I go to show you. Thank you so much for all your help. Oh that was first run on 3s so I have a lot more tuning to do.

I have a proboat 1.6x2.5 stainless prop thats balanced and sharpened it seems to work pretty good
But ill be able to tell better when I try my grimracer 3 blade lenny thinks it will work better and he is
Usually right he really knows what hes talking about.

[lenny]

Me!

[Benjamin]

I'm using a proboat 1800kv motor and a seaking 90 amp ESC. ESC timing is set to 3.75. Battery is a Tenergy 5000mah 25c 3s. So far nothing has got warm yet. Cool to the touch.

Hey Lenny. I posted a new video on YouTube of my genesis but it's grainy looking but you can see that it has a lot speed left in it. Just wish the lake would calm down. Lake has been flooded , lots of trash in water plus the winds gets it rough pretty fast. Once the weather calms down and lake drops to summer pool then I will post new vids of both boats.
