wil the eagle tree blow up ?

[Jeepers]

Yeah. I just started testing a 1521 (1800kv) neu and it was peaking in the 170's with a x442 prop pushing a toysport triton.

are you running lipos? you are way under propped on that motor, I used to run that motor on a Castle Barracuda 125 turning a 645 on nimhs in the same size mono hull.
a 545 or 645 should get you to 50+ mph.

I now have that motor in a 7lb Whiplash 20 hydro on 4s1p 6500mah turning a m648 prop, no water cooling on motor, temps are just over 100F

I try to always adjust the CG (moving batteries fore and aft) to adjust the ride, rather than messing with the strut. If you need to plant it a bit more, try moving your batteries foreward first.

Thanks, that has been what I have been doing. This boat (Triton) is the first one where I do not have trim tabs, so I am focusing more on the CG for the boat to make adjustments. I am amazed at how much this changes the handling.

i always whanted one of those triton`s maybe next years project :D

how many cells you running anyways ? im just back from testing my DF on 6s and 642 and it was wicked fast (i think it was close to warp 7. shure felt like it anyways)

disclamer for all you star trek fans out there. the speed in this post MIGHT have been a little exaggerated .

I am running 4s2p with 5000mah 40c lipo's. I have been thinking about moving up to 6s, but all my running gear (Motors and Batts) are around that number.

suprised you pull so much amp`s om 4s i diddent exspect it to be that high on a 442.
i realy need to get me a eagle tree to se how much mine is drawing.
both my etti and motor was cool after i ran mine on 6s on a x642 for about 2-3 minutes

Off and on the throttle ever 2 seconds is ALWAYS going to blow up ANY system!!!!
Find a bigger pond ASAP!

Laughing..yeah I know that, I try to only run my smaller boats on that pond, but it is just 1 minute from my house so it is good for a quick lap. So against better judgment I take a chance sometimes. I am actually in the middle of building a "closed" cooling system with ice water to see if I can use that to overcome the pond limit, but that is a whole other thread.

you should come here and drive some eletric. the water should be cold enough for you mid summer and its 57f (been a cold spring so far)

Can't even imagine that! Our water temps are closer to 90's right now!

[video200]

lol dont even have air temps anywere close to that. was 53 here yesterday and today it 73.

think i need to come over to your place instead. sounds way nicer lol

I have hit 186 amps with the eagle tree and haven't had a problem (until i got it wet in my gecko) I also have the etti 150, it can handle a quick burst of 300Amps. I am running a Mean Machine w/ a feiago 580 6l, X440, 4s2p and hitting 145 amps peak esc 136f motor 110f both with water cooling. I would watch your caps on the Etti, thats what will go first IMO. I just blew mine, but now have the Opto version and those puffed up on me on 4s2p, I just ordered some caps to take care of that. Its interesting to see someone with the same numbers as me just with a different hull.

[video200]

been running the neu a few times now. and the etti (caps and all) are WAY cooler then when i was running the nemesis blue 13XL. with the 13xl the caps was often 122 to 130f (on a x645) but with the neu on a 642 the warmest the cabs been are 87.
still havent a eagle tree but i have an idea of amps and heat go together.

[Rich]

Really?!?!?! What neu are you running in what hull with what cells, tell me your setup, was thinking of getting a neu soon

[video200]

im running a DF 33 cyberstorm,1521 1Y (1577 kv),rino 4900 3S 2p 30c and turnigy 5800 3S 2P,etti Race 150 with the exstra caps added and a x642.

smoked my Eagle tree and Etti

Well...

I smoked my 150 amp Eagle Tree today, along with my Etti 150 opto.

I'm running a DF Cyberstorm, Neu 1521/1.5D, x447/3, and 4s2p 5000mAh.

Check out the amp chart from the final run.

I hope a Hydra 240 can handle this kind of amp load on 4s?
