What do you think about a SV27 motor on the Pro boat 45A ESC I already have on 3S? Still too much heat with heat sinks on the motor?

Danny;

I my big Lehmar (drool) I'm running 2 Fiego 9XLs on 3S each with Turnighy 120's and they never get above warm. They are watercooled but the watercooling got clogged last year and I ran the rest of the year with no heat issues and little (or no) cooling.

y's Thanks everyone for the input. I think Doby's 9xl & 120a solution is my ticket. Now I need to find them...

[LarrysDrifter]

They have them the 36's.

what about getting a keda from OSE? (assuming they're still on sale)

Do you know if they tend to run hot?

LED's are DONE! I decided not to do a mast light or an overhead pilot house light. Here's what I have:

Danny, I have gone round and round inside my head about the motor issue. I have a feeling the prop won't ever be surface penetrating. Therefore I would be looking to use tons of torque at high voltage; the work of take off will be pretty labor intensive and maintaining flight won't be the same as keeping an sv on plane. The prop might need to be small and round - not like the X series octura.

How about one of the low kv t600s? Then the issue of all the weight... Now you get the idea of why mine is still on the shelf....

Jesse,
Post some pics of yours. I would love to see her maybe we can toss some ideas back and forth

The boat had her first run yesterday. She ran well but didn't last long. The rush to get her ready for sea trials costed me an RChydros Sport ESC and a motor. The motor screws were just a tad too long, I knew it when installing them, but I was determined to see her run at all costs. I'm now on the lookout for a traxxas evx-2.
Please keep your eyes peeled for one (cheap) It will be pushing a Traxxas 775 motor

i have a t600 1400kv laying around, jic you need it.

[hazegry]

it was really cool to watch run we have to get it up and going again and get video

[Diegoboy]

The Traxxas 775 brushed motor and the EVX-2 is installed and programmed. I'm going to make another test run before I re-hook up the LED's because I don't want to wait for another rx controlled on/off switch from hong kong.
