It seems my motor sit's high to. I would like to get the Turnigy H500 motor, but would i need a new motor mount to. And cooling, anything to recommend there? for the motor ?

tried to ran my new setup but piano wire drive spun inside the coupler bc i didnt tighten it enough.





grim racer 40x57 3blade prop didnt work out for me for some reason...boat would not go even at WOT not sure but it have cause the piano wire to slip.

Well i just ran my surge for the first time in a while! typhoon 1100kv on 6 s and a K51! I still had all the stock running gear! Everything was cold except motor was slightly warm to the touch. It was great and was much faster than stock, my gps needs a new batt so no speed. I am gonna make a new strut and get 3/16ths gear. And i am gonna try the k54 and K57 if that runs well! :):)

Managed to get 2 packs last night to.
It's running best with the blue pack's, the hard case one's are just a tad to big for this tight hull, and making it dip up and down with the front att full speed.With the blue turnigy's ,the front stay's more level.

Looks pretty fast!! I wonder if that hull handles any better than the olter one?

A bit hard to drive and film at the same time. Tried out some difference prop angels last night.

Hehe! That sounds good! I have always wanted to mod one of those takes to shoot a .22 round, But that might get ugly if there was ever any radio interference!

[maxmekker]

Well, I'll find out then, hehe. Based on the heat in the boat after a run, wich is non. I guess I could squise out some more from the stock settup. I wount put any more money into this right now as it's getting colder and darker fast here in Norway , so next spring, a new esc and a better radio than the stock.Now I have to try to get some time with my trex 500 and my 1/16 tiger tank, they are collecting dust...

The boat one there looks like it has the same motor too and the motor says it is 1500kv so that is probobly your kv. You might want to put a different esc in there, i haven't tried it on 5s with the stock esc but i don't know if the esc can handle it.

[maxmekker]

Well I got it in an Joysway box, and the boat is aprox 62cm in lenght an 21cm in width.

It's bought in an Norwegian Hobby store.

So I quess it's sold under the same name(well mostly) with slightly diff. hull.
I'm happy with it , good speed, and for the price i pay'd I'm not expecting any more out of it.

I'm awaiting some naotech packs,to se how they perform, and a 3s pack to make a 5s settup.

hahaha the name is wave squeezer!

They just started making a similar sized cat to the surge under a few names, i forgot about it but it looks like they are just using that one and slapping "surge crusher" on the side.

It must be heavy! 60kg per hour!

Look like a previous version of the Flusher...

Ray, it looks about the same size as the Hobby King Surge? How do you know it is shorter? I wish my "surge crusher" had the nice square hatch!!!

[Jacked1]

Wow that is completely different, Even a lot of the hardware! The only thing that looks the same is the esc and the color.
