Junior...NICE!!! whats "under the hood"?

Thanks hookedup! Under the hood is a 2600KV 400DF BL Outrunner, Castle Phoenix 25 ESC (w/Pistix), 1320 3S Thunderpower Lipo and a Hitec S81 Steering servo. Octura rudder, Solinger Strut and turn fin is next to be added...

i got pretty much the same thing in mine, except my Phoenix 25 doesnt need the PiStix. did you try it with out? and mine has octura hardware with an X632.

[HOTWATER]

I have not tried it without the PiStix...What radio/receiver do you use with it? I will be using a Futaba Magnum 3PM-Fm TX and a R153F RX Or a Novak FM RX.

A side note: Diegoboy runs a modified V935/3 cut down to 32mm. I'm testing a V935/3 razor sharpened and balanced. So far, so good, no issues with the ESC you both are using. Still working with strut adjustments. However, I'm testing an Ammo 2700 running on a Flitepower 1320 3s.

Hey Meniscus! That would be great to try! After several runs with the plastic Octura Y props that I have, I will put on the X632 S/B (not detounged...YET) and see what that will give me. Hopefully things won't heat up too much after a couple of min. run time. Does the V935/3 give you guys any fits temp. wise on anything? Also, what are the average run times with that prop? (before the smoke and meltdown...JK!)

Thanks! -Kent

My renegade outrunner is water cooled

My renegade outrunner is water cooled

Very nice! Littlescreamer prototype? I have not heard anything about them being for sale...

I was trying the 380L in mine, watercooled, but the battery was very painful to get in and out. Diegoboy was kind enough to help me with a bubble hatch to make that happen. I may still try, but I wanted to try the Ammo while I'm working with the adjustments to the strut.

I ran 3s, Ammo 2700kv, Castle 25, V935/3 for 2.5 minutes. No heat to speak of, warm to hot to touch. Without a temp gun, I'd say 95 to 100 degrees F. No water cooling yet.

Hotwater, if you're sticking with the outrunner, which I think is a perfect match, then I'd consider Steven's small watercooled mount found here: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...rod=tfl-509b13

I haven't checked the dimensions yet to make sure it fits, so check that first!

Thanks Meniscus! I have seen that mount...HMMMM! I will eventually consider that option, Thanks!

Yeah, I remember the hatch thread! Diego made a very cool looking cockpit hatch!!

Hey, by the way, did you ever get someone to buy that beautiful bass guitar?

Thanks again,
Kent

[Meniscus]

Yes, it sold and I said goodbye to my old friend.

[HOTWATER]

Hey Miniscus, what motor mount are you using for the Ammo? I like the fact that the Ammo does not get too hot...and that is without a cooling jacket?! is that motor a 380 size?

Keep the info coming...I love it...and thank you guys!

-Kent P.S.- Sorry your old friend is gone, but somebody else will be very happy with it, I'm sure.
