another mean machine set up

[Brushless55]

the motor is the Castle Neu 2200 kv which has been compared to the Neu 1515/1y

Thanks..
I'm thinking you should get about 50+ out of that motor when set up right.
I'm going to start with the SV motor in my MM then maybe move upto a 9XL on 4s, and would love to try a 13XL on 6s..

ok, try lowered it to 2.8v, because I've also get the same result till I lowered it to 2.8v. See if there is any different.

please let me get this straight because I find it hard to believe.......you had the exact same problem I am having with not getting full voltage to the motor?

it seems if by setting the lvc to 2.8 your not going to get full run time out of the potential of the lipo pack if it shuts down at 11.2 volts or am I missing something here?

[bustitup]

Awesome! MM runs and looks good

bustitup, what motor are you running?

so here is the first run after we realized it was the Turnigy 180 that wouldnt let us run over 23mph and ran it with 120amp hextronix plush

43mph m445

3.2 is where I set it from the beginning

[Mel279]

So Mel...your sure about this cut off setting thing huh?.....which cutoff should I use

Im pretty sure thats the problem. I suggest u try using 3.2v/cell, if still the same speed, u lowered some more till 2.8v/cell. Let me know if u have try it ok. Good luck!!

Your turnigy 180 can run much faster than that, just change the cutoff voltage. You'll see the different, this turnigy is a bit clumsy, if it detect your battery is not that good that what happen and the only way is to lowered the cutoff voltage just like I did before. Don't forget to use smaller prop, x637 would be a good start. Sorry to hear your hex 120 fried, but its common to all FE boater that includes me also.

That is the Verizon boat. I have since removed the thru hull water pickup. I don't know why I even put it on. I'm running a 10XL 4s2p with a M545 I balanced myself. I got 43.5 out of her which is all I wanted for my son to learn with. Just ordered a B & S M545 from Offshore on Friday. I'm curious to see how much extra performance I get out of her. Good luck with getting her sorted out!

Thanks for the picture!
Wires look good.. Think it could be your programing in the esc?

Sorry to hear about your melt down..

[bustitup]

You may have seen this if you cruised my build thread, but this is how I have the ESC mounted. I used a small piece of plywood to raise the unit and then secured it with velco. Sorry about your ESC and Lipo...

Real nice.......is that the Verizon boat?.........what feigao ia that.....speed and prop?

Sorry to hear of the damage. The additional load of a 3-bladed prop is huge and if the boater does not understand prop loading he can get into trouble fast. That's one reason I seldom recommend 3-bladed props. Most times FE boaters are better off with two-bladed props.

You likely doubled the amp draw by changing to that huge prop - even the recommended wiring changes probably would not have helped.....
