Been at it again with my GP400. Messing around with another setup. Old Turnigy T600 (red one) outrunner with a T180. Also running 2 6s Turnigy HD at 5000 for 10000 total. Buzzed it around for an allotted 2 min. Batts at 50% remaining. ESC topped out at 131 after about 1+00 of ram rise, came in at 121. Motor casing was 200 ( it's an outrunner and supposed to handle well over this, per old posted specs), still...that's hot! Used a M645. I crawled up from a x442, then x445, M645 today, maybe tomm try x648 for one minute only.
So my questions are:
Rotating mass of the T600 vs something like a TP 1350kv 4060? Outrunner as alot of spinning weight to it. T600 is 3000 watts.
Heat removal is a no-brainer with the inrunner. Just thinking prop size.
Also, how long is the rudder blade on a typical Q hydro? Maybe shave some dragging metal off? Boat was hopping pretty frequently, slight breeze, very mild water if anything. A flat hop, up and down in small frequency. Drop my strut a tad? Just looking for some tips. ThanksIMG_20180311_174945.jpg
