Got my 2200 kv motor last night, installed it and will try it out this afternoon!

So went out yesterday and and left everything the same (setup wise) and hit 56.2 on the old GPS...not bad and everything was just warm to the touch after 6 laps around our clubs pond. Timing was set to 0 and I forgot my programming box at home...apparently these motors like 15deg. Set it to 15 last night and will run it again this weekend. the winds were about 10 Mph with only a ripple on the pond...perfectly stable and no sponson walking etc...nice wide full speed turns with no bad tendencies. Hoping for a bit more chop next time out to better simulate race water conditions.
Will have to get some more aggressive props to try next season. Once I see what the timing will do for me, that should be just about all she wrote for this year.

Maybe Monday we get together right? Do you bring a gas Gen. or no? You have lipos coming out your butt.

Doby, which 2200kv motor are you using? I see from other thread that you are only running 4s1p. I just want to learn as much as I could before mine arrives later this month.

Hi Doby.
As 'Team TFL', I'm surprised you don't give the TFL 4074 2200kv motor a try. In my opinion they are a much better motor than the leopard. At least all the ones I've tried are. From a little 2960/ 2880kv up to a 4082 2200kv. More efficient, more power & cooler running.
Monica will sell them direct. Ask her to send you the complete motor list.
Just a thought.

Hi Paul,
the one Monica is sending me is w/o the motor but with all hardware installed, now you got me thinking, what motor diameter does the stock mount accept? I was going to use a Leopard 4074 2200kv that I had, but on their web it says the motor is a 36-60 sized can, did you special order yours to have the TFL 4074?
Thanks,
Tim
I actually ordered a 4082 2200kv with mine. All that's needed is to get a 40mm tail ring & it bolts straight in. BUT, the 70mm cooling can that came with it won't fit between the ring & the mount, So I've had to use a 50mm long cooler. The battery & ESC still get hotter than the motor, which is only just warm.

Has anyone tried this hull setup for P-sport Hydro on a 1/6 mile oval course? Our course close by is only a short course.

May I ask you the reason for re-bending the stuffing tube?
No Problem.
Only 1P allowed here in Australia for racing.

wish my yellow boat didnt have all this writing all over it lol my own fault as monica showed me pics of it before shipping .....now got the flex cut to right lenth..(alwasys a good thing) modified the motor mount with a drill to get better motor angle still lol.....had to sand the rudder so it would fit between the rudder brackets and swing freely...mock up the t180 position and battery placement...looks as if battery will have to be way forward to get decent cg....only real problem so far is that 2 or 3 of the set screws are missing// makes it harder to complete...lhs had the set screws so that's all over...

Ron.
In mine there was a small RX tray to the right of the motor under the deck. Is there not one in yours? Also there was some foam cut & fitted in each sponson. I would have thought they all come like that.But extra foam is still needed.
Here's a couple of pics of the layout in mine. You can just see edge of the balloon around the RX at the edge of the deck in the first pic. The second one shows the RX & the foam.

well I am back on the road again so cant look at it now but if there was a rx tray I never saw it lol....glued a small 1/4 plywood slab to the floor and velcroed the mr3000 rx to it....wont get a chance to run it till the 24th .....
btw if u are using the stock motor mount and running a 40 mm motor like the 4074 or nue 1515 u will need this http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...d=ose-80600-RC
and u may need a short water cooling can as there is not much room between the braceing

Monica says mine will be done 10/20 I got the green one with no lettering except the TFL logo on the rear, All hardware 40mm motor mount, no electronics. I'm Going bulletproof on electronics, Swordfish 220A ESC and Neu 1515 1y 2200kv motor, Savox SW 0231SG waterproof servo. should work good for my first P Sport Hydro.
