At present I have a smash Shark to which I fitted a Leopard Hobby 4074 2200kv brushless motor, taken from a new HK "Osprey". OSE store and Leopard Hobby website show the 2200kv model to be a "Y" wind thus timing should be around 15 when programming. For some inexplicable reason I believed the motor to be a "D" wind and set the timing to 0 degrees. How does one know whether a Y or D wind motor?
The boat is having trouble getting up on plane and I am now thinking would the incorrect timing contribute to the planing problem as the motor just does not seem to rev as high as I believe it should? The boat just seems to be lacking power. The motor is new and the Turnigy 180 amp ESC is also new.
