Hey Guys anyone know what motor I can upgrade to with stock esc?

[Killah2469]

Cool thanks again for all you help. I tryed to put the esc on the other side but the wires from the motor and the esc get in the
way of the water outlet. The prop I have is for the sv27 and I also need a spacer for it and I'm working on that now. My
lhs has a spacer that proboat makes and I'm gonna go check to see if it fits. Where can I get that motor mount I've seen
lots of them but not that one also what do I use to put it in the boat.

It will work where I told you,
But you must turn the esc around the other way.
With the water lines coming in from the bow of the boat,
Also you could move the motor around so the wires are on the starboard side of the motor mount.
That will also give the boat a little better CG to let it air out a little more to,
I just started to move mine over to the port side,
Just to see if I can make the boat hull self right it's self.
If I come off a wave to high and flip it on it"s hatch.

Cool I'll try that. I was looking at this mount I like it because you can tilt the motor and raise it
Up and down what do you think of it.

Looks like a good mount for it,
And you could also flip the motor plate to get deeper in the V of the hull to if need be.

[Killah2469]

Sounds like a great idea never thought about doing that. I went todat and got some 5/32 and 3/16 brass tube to make a shim for my sv27 prop
can't wait to get out to try it the ice is starting to melt really fast only a couple weeks till its all gone.

Ok,
The modding I did payed off I think,
It help with when it airs out and use to torque roll in mind air,
Also it picked up more speed to.
I tested it today on 2s 40c 5000mah and than 3s 30c 6400mah,
On the 2s I got 30 mph and on the 3s 39 mph.
I just need to do some tweaking on the trim tabs to go full throttle with it,
Video battery was low, I did not charge it today.

2s first run with new mods to setup.

3s but need tweaking some.

[Killah2469]

Man they where good runs the 3cell seems to run really well. Today I re-ran my cooling lines and moved the esc. I also
made the shim for my prop so next time I take it out it'll have the 3 blade sv27 prop on can't wait to try it.
Here are some pics of what I did today didn't get any pics of the prop but got pics of inside the boat.

Looks good,
When you run it again get some video's with side views.
So I can see how it ridding and handling for you.
With nice easy take offs and slowly bring the speed up to full throttle on some nice straight runs.

[Killah2469]

Cool I'll do that i'm going away to niagara falls till Saturday hopefully next week all the ice will be gone and i'll be able
to go to a good spot with calm water.

[Killah2469]

Well I got out yesterday for a great run with the Rio was very pleased with the outcome.
Here are some vids. Also the water temp was 5 celsius.

This is a 5min run with my 8.4v nimh and the 2nd vid is the temps after that run.

[lenny]

Look pretty good,
When you take your temps, Do the esc first and it"s caps and than pack and than motor.
Because the esc will cool down first, The motor and pack will stay hot longer.
Also check the temps on the connectors to,
It will run even better when you go to lipo's and cooler to.
Can you take some new pictures of the transom hardware and inside setup again please,
I am trying to see something that may help it ride a little better.

[lenny]

Ok I sent you a pm on a couple more mods to do,
To make it run smoother and quieter and dryer to.

[lenny]

I looked at the video's again, And again,
It is running a little wet still.
Bend both trim tab up 1/8" and let me see how it rides.
Also the boats temps should go down some when you do this,
So check them again.
