55" Quad or Triple Cigarette Boat

[Jacked1]

I am going to try out the T600 on 8s soon with my FC esc! I have seen heard about a Daytona hull running 60mph on 6s with one T600 so 3 of them on 8s would be insane! I almost got a couple of the 120hv's for my 47incher. That would be a perfect esc for the lower kv 600 size outrunners!

Regrettably the programing cards were put of sock! I am going to get one when they are back in and just use the radio until then.

BEWARE!! I recieved my 150 amp HiModel esc today and they screwed up major!!

First, no 10G wire as stated, take off the 2 layers of shrink and there is only a cooling plate on the top board of fets!!!

The PCB's, 2-fet bords are nice and thick with a thin control board on the bottom.

They did not put a heat sink on top of the middle board!!!! WTH!!!

Unless this is the design to give a proper thermal cut-off or something, I'm not impressed!!!

Stick to T120, SF120, T180 etc!!!

They are well made otherwise, thick heat sink (only one of two needed!!) Coated for water resistance.

Not worth the $50. Maybe the HV ones are nicer??

Thanks Ray, I wish i would have known that one day earlier! hahaha
Oh well, they say there is a thermal cut off on the site. I might add some fans to mine as well.

How long did it take from order day untill you recieved them?

[ray schrauwen]

A whole 5 days !! EMS $12

Sweet! Thanks again for the info. I am pretty optimistic about them, as long as I can keep them cool! I haven't blown an esc yet that wasn't a suppo. I am guessing the boat will only by about 18 pounds fully loaded so I am think I will only need 7500watts or less to get to 60. So that would only be about 112 amps per motor so the esc's would be running at 75%.

That's one sick set-up! I can't wait to hear the sound of those motors! Good luck on the build!

You see this motor in this car?

I've asked Neu on 2 different occasions to sell me a 1515 rotor with doubled ended shafts.

I've tried to pressout, hammer out the shaft from a tacon 4074 rotor but, it would not give even after trying to heat any loctite from the inside by getting the shaft cherry red.

Still could not press the shaft out to make one myslef and then it Dawn on me that I had already 90% pressed 2- 3126, 2200kv Suppo outrunners onto one long shaft so forget about Neu selling me a rotor, I'm using a pair of these outrunners to power a Kyosho Inferno GT-2 (convert roller).

Not sure if 2200kv is right but, we'll see in D/D without a gearbox on 2S2P I should get claimed speeds as Fine design did.

Thats where the Pic is from. Thank Chris!

I am also about ready to test run my 40" mono with a pair of T600 880kv on one shaft. Thannks for the thread! Great work and idea.

The GT-2 roller should be here soon.

Thanks for the nice comments guys! That looks pretty cool Ray! I have wanted a dual shafted inrunner for a while. Good luck and make sure you keep me posted on everything. I am looking forward to how everything turns out.

I went ahead and got four new ESCs for this boat but I am at school now and probably won't have much time for it until the summer. Right before I left for school I got my two 880kv T600's on one shaft and got them electrically synced. So I will be able to have both of them run off of one ESC. It should have about as much power as a 2028 on 10s when I run these on 12s to go in my 47incher.

Hey guys! I had lost some interest because of time constraints but I am happy to say I am back. (There have been some pretty bad-ass builds!)

So I read this whole thread just now. I was pretty dissapointed That you threw in the towel so easily after all the work you put in. Let's see it run again! Looking forward to it!

[Jacked1]

Hopefully I can try it out soon! As long as the servo still works I think I just need to sync it up with a new receiver and plug it in. The hull still has a pretty awful burnt plastic smell even after 3 years and being covered in dust.

Methyl Hydrates will get the stink out.
