HK 41" Vanquish with CC 1717 1y 1580 Kv on 6s 2p I hope

[tryinotocrash]

That confuses me more :) I thought my Kvs were too high already at 1580 ?

well, I think you could save yourself the widely ranging suggestions if you could state your objectives.
I am assuming sport, but do you want to see how fast you can get it in a straight line? or are you wanting something to tool around for the duration of your batteries?
The problem with the Leos is the heat. I run the 4092 1730 on 4S in my cat and it gets up to 140F in a lap... If you wanted to go 6S, I would go even lower - to the 1390KV and assuming the Y wind is similar meaning as with the Neus, the 2Y should pull fewer amps. This would probably be a good option for you, but I agree that 200amp esc is a bare minimum.

Agreed with the 1390 and I also do perfer the Y wind motor myself.

Yes i went with the 4092 - 1390kv on 6s in an 41" Osprey as i wanted a y wind as well & run bigger props with the lower kv, Have yet to run the boat yet though.

[tryinotocrash]

Yes fun and speed. Nobody here races this class I was told so FUN !

[jkr]

You can get decent speed and run time with a Leo 4082 1600kv with x447 but 6s1p.
A 2p configuration is a 1kg more and it is a huge difference!
I'll search the video for it as i remember was running a t180.
Couldn't find with t180.Check this

With 6s1p x447 you can go even faster than the video.

I just realized that this is the Vanquish hull, didn't fully read the Topic. I have the Osprey hull and purchased it after I sold my Vanquish, and it is much better of a hull then the Vanquish. Prob not the post you want to read, but I have to be honest about it and I hope they're better then when I had mine. Good luck to you.

[martin]

Yes the Vanquish hull does suffer from a bad hook towards the rear of the hull which sticks it to the water & runs very wet, easy to fix depending on how deep the hook is though by filling the bottom of the hull untill its flat.

[tryinotocrash]

I will check that today after work. I can fix it if it is jacked up :) I will make this run because it is my only boat for now !

[tryinotocrash]

Is there a difference?

Has anyone had these side by side to see the difference? They look suspiciously similar to me
I didn't buy mine from HK I got it from someone local who "builds" boats.

They're not the same, I've owned both. The Osprey is leaps and bounds better made with thicker fiberglass and just all around a better hull. Ben (fightercat) had both as well and took some side-by-side images noting the differences. When the hull/hardware option (Vanquish) came available many including myself assumed it was the same hull as the Osprey we were wrong! The Osprey is a TFL hull (makers of the Pursuit and Prince as well as the Genesis and other) and is a great hull.

I have the 2080kv of that motor..
how big is the cat your running yours in Jesse, seems kinda warm?
thanks

O.K. so I went to test the boat today

So it went well today was able to get some testing done this morning to see how to proceed. Nobody else was there so I was on my own to see how to proceed. I was able to get some full throttle passes and it moves out pretty good on 2 five cells.. I really needs to have the stinger adjusted because I have all the weight to the back and it still pushes the nose down pretty hard.
So I have the Graupner 45mm 2317.45 prop on it and the temps were real good. The Esc was 89 degrees and the batteries were around 80 degrees the caps were the same as batteries. This was after I ran it and adjusted the batteries and ran it several times to adjust batteries then I ran it around the lake four or five laps and checked the temps. I didn't adjust the stinger yet because I only have two five cells for now so I left to take some pictures of the bottom with a straightedge and the placement of components inside the boat. The T-180 did just fine today. bottom.jpgcomponents setup.jpgstraightedge.jpg
Here is the bottom of the boat How does it look? small amount of dish in the bottom but not much. Is there a specific angle for the stinger this one seems to be tipped down instead of a little up. I will get a better picture of where it is now and repost.. Thanks to everyone who has helped out I need all the help I can get.

[Grazacind]

Mate I filled mine that had about the same hook. It becomes more noticable the faster you go.

[carlcisneros]

start with the stinger at a zero (0) degrees setting, THEN if you need to adjust it up or
down you can.
