shockwave prop

[SweetZ28]

I was thinking of buying the seaking 35amp esc as i am using this in my brushless apache 24 with a 3300KV motor on 3s and it always runs cool under 100Deg.

and its only like $35.00 bucks yes you can set them by the radio also

I think a 35-amp speedo is way too small for that motor.

You can also program that esc from you're transmitter.

I appreciate the input,I think i'm going to buy one.

That's what's in my apache guy's say that the 35 amp esc is way under rated I never had it heat up once yet.

What kind of motor is that 3300kv? If you find the continuous amp rating of that motor(say 40amps or so) then you should run a 60 amp speed control. You're 35 amp speed control is good for a motor that puts out about 25amps. I dont see a 3300kv brushless motor putting out less than 40-50 amps. But hey! If its working for you, then more power to ya!

I read some place guy's say they can run at 60 amp loads? who know alls good now though with the 3300KV

stock props trouble

This morning I run my ShockWave 26BL with Protek 2S5000mAh40C Li-Po.
Although she was so fast yet stable, the prop broke twice: the blades disappeared at high speed straight run.

My setting is not correct?

Any advice or tips are all welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Nope nothing wrong the stock blades are crap!! you can use these one guy says they last longer octura y534 plastic prop and for faster speed and a prop that will never break octura X435 but you will have to balance and sharpen it so you may as well buy one already balanced and sharpened.

Yup, that stock plastic prop will shed the blades with the rpm you're spinning. Time to upgrade! Stick with carbon filled or metal.

I agree, the stock plastic prop is crap. Mine broke immediately on its maiden voyage, running in a straight line in clean water. I replaced it with an X435 and she's been happy ever since.

Thanks Sweet28 and T-Man.

I replaced the stock prop with octura x435. Although it was a bit too hard for me to trim, balance and sharpen the prop, now my ShockWave 26 runs very well. The rooster-tail is beautiful and the top speed increases, IMHO.

You may find my boat at 00:00-00:10 and 03:06-03:18 in the following vid.

Thanks again,

it came programmed for lipo's and the other parameters seemed ok. You need the programming card/box to change anything (usually $10 shipped) and they are real easy to program with it.

I bought a seaking,now I can actually run the boat. Got a balanced y535 it will keep up with BJ 26 on the straits pretty cool. Easy to program from transmitter to.Thanx for the info.

[SweetZ28]

what model seaking did you buy?
Thanks
