Livewire's EKOS Build

[Rocstar]

Good Job Richard,

[Livewire121]

Thanks Chris. Once I have her trimmed I'll really start to push her

[Livewire121]

Thanks Joel! The sad thing is my friend lost his Revolt 30 yesterday, she sank 30 feet from shore. Time to plan a salvage mission.

Here's another video running the Prop Shop 42mm 1.7 pitch props. She's had the trim done and she's running perfect!

Any way I can achieve this speed with my kos without spending over 400 I currently have a seaking 180 and running 6s would like to keep them but I want the boat to be safe at the speed your running aka not burning anything up

So you have two seaking 180's, but what motors are you using, and are you still running the stock flex drives?

[T3tsaya]

I am running a single outrunner setup with a m545 and a seaking 180 with updated flex drive and I'm in the high 50s

[Livewire121]

I'm not familiar with the m545 outrunner, what's the kv rated at?

[T3tsaya]

M545 is an octura prop and the outrunner is 1600 kv

[Livewire121]

Lol! Since your limited to 6s with that esc, you could try propping up to a X646 or a X648. But you're going to have to be careful, start with the X646, and check the temps after the first minute, then after two mins and so on to make sure everything is ok. If the temps are ok after that, then you could try going up to the 648, and then repeat the temp check again. The 646 will get you close to 60mph and the 648 will get you over 60mph. Maybe someone else can chime in on this, as I don't have a lot of experience running outrunners.

Well I think it already at 60 or super close but I want it to for sure be at or over 60 safely and what's the difference between like m546 and an x646

[T3tsaya]

Any other motor would be okay for sure I don't mind buying a motor and prop but I want it to be over 60 for sure with a seaking 180 and 6s and be safe I'm still new to boats and I heard that a 648 would blow my motor up this outrunner at least

[Livewire121]

The 5 stands for 1.5 pitch 46mm (546) and the 6 stands for 1.6 pitch 46mm (646)

[Livewire121]

What brand of motor is it??

The only way to know how fast its going, is to put a GPS in it
