Maritimo build

How's the esc temps? If they're ok, and you say you're motors are cool, why not just go for more prop? I would think you could get away with much more prop being that you are running twins. It might just be all the change you need!

Anyone else have any other motor suggestions? Come on guys, over 200 of you have looked at this sense i posted the question.. Please, im all ears!! Ive got 200 amp esc's and i could even run 5's per side with suggestions!!!

[wolf IV]

what props are you running to get 58 mph? The 1515/1.5ds are possibly struggling a bit with the load and hurting your cells. 1515/1ys might be a better option.

30c cells will boost your performance, and probably run cooler as well. I noticed this when i went from 25c to 30c in my boats.

wont this also increase my amp draw on the esc's?

If i only had the money!!! Man.........a couple of turbines would fit in there im sure of it!!:)

[Jesse J]

how about some rocket thrusters???

X442 egeng shaped..struggling indefinantly! I think im gonna try some 5000 mah 30c zippy's as a cheap fix and see if i can leave the set up as is..ill try and scrub some weight as well. The motors stay cool though...this boat is super solid at almost 60 mph. No porpissssing(sp) what so ever!!!! I wanna see it do 70 mph!!!

Wolf I no you don,t want to here this but i think your cat is to heavy (sorry bro). The set up is hot but i really think you could make it hum buy getting the weight back down to (under 10lb). Have you tryed the x442 !! Does the hull sit right up on the spoonsons at full throttle?? I think if you go to the bigger motors and lipo's your boat is getting way to heavy , Remember the hull is only designed for 3.5cc power. So here is my suggestion -- lighten the load , keep the set up as it is and i bet you will see speeds higher then my cat and cooler everything because of less drag. Then if that does not work maybe the bigger motors and cells are the way to go. Don't give up bro you will get there!!!! BONEWAR

Please help...

WELL GUYS THIS SET UP HAS PROVEN TOO HOT FOR THE WEIGHT INVOLVED HERE... THE HULL IS SUPER SOLID AND PERFECT ON THE WATER. I WANT MORE SPEED!! I CAN RUN CONSISTANTLY 58MPH + A LITTLE . I WANT 10 MORE MPH WITH A COOLER BATTERY AND ESC'S. I PUFFED A BATTERY TODAY, AND ESC'S ARE COMING BACK TOO HOT, MOTORS COOL!!. I HAVENT HAD A THERMAL ON THE ESC'S (YET) BUT HATE THAT SMELL SO ILL AVOID THAT WITH YOUR GUYS HELP.. SO IM AT ABOUT 40,000 RPM RIGHT NOW WITH 4S 5000 MAH 25C/ 1515 1.5D'S-2700 KV.. IM GOING TO KEEP THE HIMODEL 200 AMP 8'S ESC'S IN THE BOAT. I NEED SOME MOTOR RECOMENDATIONS AND BATTERY AS WELL. THE HULL IS AT 12 LBS ON A BATHROOM SCALE, I KNOW ITS REALLY HEAVY, BUT ITS WHAT I WANT AS FAR AS STRENGTH AND LOOKS. SO THIS IS WHAT I WAS THINKING , 5'S 5000 30C AND 1521/1.5D 1860Kv =34.410 RPM??? LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK!!!AGAIN I WANT COOL TEMPS AND 65-70 MPH.. IS THIS REALISTIC?

good job wolf, nice pics! you could send me some of your favorites and I could doctor them in Photoshop for ya. Lighten some and make em look as good as they can. Really like the action shots!

I WILL see this glory in person!!

MAYBE ILL TAKE YOU UP ON THIS OFFER!!! THE GUY WHO TOOK THESE SHOTS JUST SENT PICS OF THE EL LOBO THE DAY BEFORE I TOTALLED IT. ILL POST THEM ON PHOTO BUCKET THERE PRETTY COOL AS WELL!! THIS GUYS NAME IS MARVIN AND LOVES TAKING PICS, GAVE ME HIS # AND SAID ANYTIME I RUN THE BOATS TO CALL HIM UP AND HE WILL TAKE FREE PICS!!! SOOOO, LOOKS LIKE WE MAY HAVE SOME COOL PICS TO REFLECT THE CATS DAY OUT!!!

Wolf the TIMO looks good on the water , And i love those close up pic's. I think you will be able to get more speed out of her if you can lose some weight , I know this will be a pain in the ass but i really think this is the key to more speed .Your set up is very good and the boat rides real nice . I'm going to take some of the styrene foam out of the front of my hull to lose about 300 grams and replace it with some air bags. Also going to take the styrene out of the back of the hull maybe 150 grams and same, replace it with some air bags. So the hull will end up at about 4kg -8.8 pound . I think this will allow me to get closer to my goal of 70 mph -(112 klm). Anyway just a suggestion , GOOD WORK BRO BONEWAR

MAN BOEWAR, THE ONLY WAY TO LOOSE WEIGHT IS TO TEAR IT APART I THINK ILL TRY AND MOVE THE BATS BACK AS FAR AS THEY WILL GO AND ADJ THE STRUTS IF NEED BE. I MAY THROW IN SOME LARGER MOTORS?? ANY SUGGESTIONS? DUDE, I DONT THINK YOU NEED TO LOOSE ANY WEIGHT!!! YOURS IS ALREADY ON THE EDGE! YOU BETTER MAKE SURE YOU LOWER YOUR STRUTS IF YOU LIGHTEN THAT SWEETY UP...

[wolf IV]

yep, that one is definitely a keeper. Looks like you got it dialed in. It has a nice stance on the water. Good job. Love that rooster tail!!!

thanx brother, this picture looks great inlarged!!! Maybe ill make a poster for the work shop...
