i cant really help as i havent ran a nue or a cc hydra hopfully some of the guys with experiance on these will chime in as there was somthing serious wrong for it to go up like that,then again seems to be a lot off cc pop tarts going off

[6ofthebest1]

i think you get what you pay for and i think anything maid in germany is the way to go shulze and yeg i think it is the way to go

[ozzie-crawl]

a lot of guys are getting good runs with the ettis

Is it a HV or LV? If its a LV Castle and many others have warned against running it at its max voltage. For my 6s boats I only run HV controllers and they have been running great. If its a HV then that is a different story.

My 240 just shorted out and went up in flames and started to cook the batteries at the same time.It was crazy to see smoke pouring out on a high speed run but not fun trying to rip the batts out and esc on fire . I had to submerge the boat under water while i pulled everything apart trying to save the hull.Talk about a nasty stench.LOL But...I beat on this esc for over a year real hard and pushed it to its limits 2 times a week straight.

What was the prop and boat size on that setup? Did you get many runs with that setup?

[6ofthebest1]

its a lv on 6s2p neu 1515 1.5y x646 the hull is a h and m drifter 41 inches long i had about 20 runs speeds around 100 -110kph
constant the only thing it can be is water got into the esc

[Raydee]

If you have water getting into your hull that can def be the reason. The other problem is running a LV on 6s is just begging for disaster. I know people have had some luck running the LV on 6s...heck I even did it for a few runs but for the most part running a ESC at its max voltage OR amp rating will almost always end the same way...charcoal. That is also a large hull for a small 1515 size motor so I imagine it working pretty hard to push a 41" hull, probably pulling some big amps too.

try to NOT bunble your wires together with a zip tie~~

[bustitup]

Waaaaaaaay to big a hull for that motor ........I am surprised u got that many runs in
