New ShockWave 26 Brushless

**harry12cars** · 06-10-2010, 06:59 PM

I had no heat problems running the 3 blade. I checked the temp and it was at 89 and ESC was 80. I ran the boat full throttle in those 12 mins. The speed I didn't check, but I can tell you when I punch the throttle from a stand still she jumped out of the water. I am very happy with the boat.

Awesome! Looking forward to getting Lipo's in this thing. Already very pleased with it on NiMH's

Should be a decent boat once everything is dialed in!

Get some video of your boat in action! Would love to see it!

Will have some of mine shortly..would be a good comparison Nimh Vs Lipo in this boat.

Wanted to give an update on the great customer service from horizon hobby.

They are sending me a new driveshaft, motor coupler, and 3 new props. A company that stands behind there product and sends the new parts at no charge (yes they are cheap but still...would have been $20+ out of my pockets for these parts) is a great company to buy from.

This makes me even more happy about my purchase of the Proboat Shockwave.

That Great!!!!!!!

They helped me out also. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, I AGREE!

Got my x435 prop and it works great... Compared to the y535 the batteries no longer get so hot, motor and esc are cooler as well...this is on 6 cell NimH remember

Speed is about 1 - 1.5mph slower according to the GPS, but the RPM's are there now..where-as before the RPM's didnt seem to get as high with the y535 as it was too much load I suppose...maybe this prop isnt the right one either, but I would rather sacrafice a mph and not overheat my batteries etc..

around 24mph is still respectable on a single 6 cell NiMH... We shall see what she does on Lipo's when that day comes. Will post some video shortly if anyone wants to see.

Here is a video: Comments, suggestions are welcome.

Looking good! A decent 2s lipo should give you a nice boost in speed. Something like a 5000mah 30c Turnigy lipo.

Just bought 2 rhino 25c 4900 mah from a member here...cant wait to get them...need a charger yet though : (
