cant get new esc to work

[maurice1287]

yes, that's the setup. just kind of wondering if I should try a 545 or 645.

sorry I meant to ask tlandauer as well

No worries, we are all here to learn and help each other. I have not used a M645 thus far, I use a M545 on some of my mono hulls, my temp would be high if I go to the "6" pitch series on my MG, I am sticking with a M445 on the MG since my motor is rated at 2200kv, the amp draw would be higher than yours on 4s ( you are running on 4s2p with a Leopard 1800kv, right?).
better let people who have used that prop to tell you, I don't want to give bad info.
Thanks for asking though.
Cheers and Happy Boating!

Alexgar, think I could swing a m645 prop? my m445 runs my temp at 90, just thought id ask you guys

I bought a bag of 1000 zipties at the computer store for like 7$ and use the on all my rc projects to tiddy up

[maurice1287]

thanks so much for the info. I'm going to try and make it look more like the one you have. kind of don't realize what your doing wrong till you see some of the other experienced guys handy work. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions down the road..........thanks maurice

just one more question, think I should add another pickup and provide a little more cooling? thanks

I am glad all worked out. Looking at your picture, if I may make one suggestion: the orientation of the ESC might warrant a reconsideration. The silicone lines are pinched a bit and I think your power lines ( ESC to Batt) are on oneside only, it might be easier if you turn it around. Here is mine, not saying that should be the only way, but I have no problem with water volume and I don't think you will need to add another pick up.DSCN3401_3602.jpg
I don't know what your set up is for connectors, but from the picture, you seemed to have bullet plugs and then some EC5.5, I would streamline the set up for this boat and ALL your future boats with the 5.5mm plugs. I use that every where , from battery to ESC to motor. A good parallel connector is found here:http://kintecracing.com/Home_Page.php about half way down you will see a "Y" shaped connector.
Enjoy!

got it together in parallel. works now. I will tidy it up when I get some odds and ends at the hobby store. thanks so much for your help guys. just got started in fast electrics and my gosh, its awesome.

I can't really see the photo on my phone, anyway, it can't be series, the ESC is rated to 6s max, it will not work beyond that. You ESC wire should not use another "bridge" as shown, too long and too complicate, I am sorry that I don't have A real keyboard to go into length.

Is test it with the 2 s and if it works count yourself lucky and build a parallel harness

[maurice1287]

so parallel will work then? thanks for the help

[tlandauer]

Yes, be thankful that it didn't work, that ESC is nor rated for 8s !!!
