Not bad at all! How were the temperatures?

I'm very nervous about this Esc in it. It's very much experimental. It's that mamba xl2 I converted to water cooling. I didn't hammer on it from a dead stop but I did drive it around a bit to make sure everything was good. Made a few passes and felt everything after every run. Nothing was even warm to the touch. Had anything been warm I would have put the temp gum on it. I just remembered this Esc data logs so I'm going to pull the logs tonight.

Well done Trav, I'll be curious as to what the Castle logs say. Remember to set pole count and KV in the logging

True true....I haven't used the castle logger in quite a while so thanks for the reminder. We should be in the 100's this weekend. Got my fingers crossed. Everything was toned down for the first few passes. I'm pretty stoked.

Well make sure you enjoy buddy, funny how time slows down at those speeds. Or at least when you look at the logs it seems that way I find. It's like 'really??? That was only 1.5 seconds!'

I know. Wish I could have videoed it yesterday. Son didn't want to go. But it don't matter really, looks the same as all my other videos anyway...just the lehner sounds a little different. It sounds like it's not even trying and I could tell by the sound that the prop is too deep and it's running really wet. I'm super surprised it went that fast like that. I'm gonna tune it in on 6s. I feel confident it's got 93-95 in it on 6s. Then I'll prop down to a 445 and run it on 7s like I set it up for. Should be interesting.

Just to let you guys know, I started a new thread on the maiden. I just pulled the data logs from the Esc and I like what I see. The link to that thread and a pic of the log is there if you wanna check it out.
