new to electric boats

[JRPLANE]

I have a Bonzi 54" deep vee with a 26cc modded engine. I took it out and went with a LEOPARD 5692/730 on 12S, 6S-5500's I have a couple of questions

What connectors should I use? I am using DEANS Ultra , and they get HOT!
How do you read amps under load?
The ESC is stone cold, Motor 90 degrees, batteries 100 degrees.


The boat pulls hard to the right, and requires a lot of left trim. What can I do about this. I am sure this is a lot of drag.
Any set up help would be appreciated
Thanks for any help

You should change out those Deans ASAP with 5.5mm bullets, the deans cant handle the amps these boats pull.

Yes go with the 5.5 on everything your battery connections and motor connections and all that heat will go away. I found out the hard way.

ok Question where are you getting that yellow cooling line from? I need some bad

[gsbuickman]

Every hobby store i've been in, keeps bulk fuel line in stock & in a crapload of colors.. Hobbytown also sells yellow fuel line from Ofna.

Hey JR, have you rezeroed your steering trim ?. I've found that on some hulls, even a minute' adjustment can make a big difference.

Hi,
If you can get some video's of it running.
And do some long straight line passes with it at medium and fast speeds from right to left,
And also heading toward to.
I want to see how it is riding.
