How Fast are you running?

I didn't think the stock AQ 60A ESC would run on 6s...but then I guess I've never tried.
Thanks!

Blowoff speed? Please explain...

My boat struggled to break 40 with a 42x55

Blowoff speed? Please explain...

Blow off speed is the point the boat is airborne and on its way over and the prop is still in the water. The boat accelerates tremendously and the MPH reading goes up. Sometimes it does this (but just gets REAL LOOSE) the boat lifts, darts or whatever and adds MPH to an otherwise normal run.

I see it all the time with both GPS and Radar guns. You can watch the MPH go up live using a radar gun. Of course the GPS only reads peak!

Grim,
Is it ok to run the aq60a ESC on 6s?
I've been operating under the impression it was strictly a 4s Speedo.
Thanks!

I would say the ESC is a ticking time bomb on 6s and it's just a matter of time before it lets go. Until then, I'm going to see how far I can push it.

Thanks, Good Luck!
I found vinegar/acetone/and dryer sheets work fairly well at getting the burned stink smell out of the hull

Didn't get a chance yet with work, cars and coffee, a dyno day and a track event over the weekend I've been a bit busy. I will have it out this week/weekend.

I got good run times with that prop, great handling, nice rooster tail, and a big smile!!

Used a drill bit to set the strut height out of water distance.
.188 to far out tried .125 out
Got the boat to 44 mph
