Converting at gas boat to electric, need advise.

Thanks, I thought she.ran very well. On the stuffing tube, not exactly.

Slo-mo video. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OXeU1MC...%3DOXeU1MClNI4

[stelerzman]

Is the slo-mo video playing correctly?

[lenny]

No it's not,
Because you posted the wrong one.

This looks more like it I think.

Just looking over it now and I still think it is running a little wet.
What where the temps on 5s and how was it setup ?

Also the next vid's you do try taking them from down low at the dock.
That will let use see under the boat as it go's by And where it is riding at on the hull,
If you stay on the throttle a little longer going past the dock to the right.

But please try not to do it as the sun is setting or we may go blind looking at it.

This is getting hard to do right now Len. The sunset is a large part of the daylight right now. But alas, after Saturday the days start getting longer again

[lenny]

No,
He do not get to the water till about 4 or 5 pm.

[stelerzman]

I completely agree with both.of you, also thanks lenny for embedding the correct video. If you guys think your being blinded by the super btight Sun, what does it look like from my stand point. Lenny was right about the time, I went out around 4:20pm. It w as the best chance.to run her and see where she sits and where I need to go to get her to really SCREAM.

[stelerzman]

By the way len, I tried to get the Vitale temps, unfortunately the gun died. Damnit.
Once I'm able to fix the flood/stuffing tube, I'll check everything.

[stelerzman]

Ok, she's running a little "wet" How do I resolve this issue?

[srislash]

I would lower the prop in the water a bit. Just adjust strut down a mm or two. Start there

[lenny]

I need to see some better video's of it running first,
Like I said before from the dock would be a lot better and sun at your back if possible.

Also need to know where you have the cells placed at in the boat first to,
From the last testings you have done.

And temps info is very important at this time when testing and trying to set the boat up right,
Than may be we can help you with how it is ridding and air it out more.

If the temp gun does the 'finger one minute' rule applies. If you can't hold the parts for one min something is off.

[stelerzman]

I can say that I was able to hold my fingers on all the components for longer than 10 seconds.
Once I get the stuffing/flood tube fixed I'll retest and post the #'s.

This is not a good measurement for components parts can get hot to the touch and still be with the limits, and everybodys heat sensitivity is different-there is a guide line somewhere ifsearch the fourm for lipo , motor , esc temps . Always use a temp gun

[stelerzman]

I've already replaced the battery, temp gun back in action.
