NEW Pro Boat RECOIL 26" Self-Righting!!

[rcboone2000]

Is anyone else having problems with the motor shutting down about every 30 to 40 feet.My battery is fine I've checked that I've changed speed control no change I finally changed the stock prop to a m220 with that prop it will run a full battery no shut downs.We have 3 boats they are all doing the same thing.

That should be m440

Replaced the anemic trim tabs with the ones from the Stealthwake.
Not a direct bolt on, had to drill new holes, but a world of a difference. They really should consider just using these.
I did have to notch the right side, as you can see in the pic. Far better.

Yes, which prop is it ?

Rafael, I put the new receiver in. MAJOR difference in range. I can drive much further now. Makes the boat more fun to drive. Looking at a 3S 5000 but I am concerned about the self righting working right. I don't wanna lose it.


Thanks much!

Which receiver did you use ? My boat was also losing range at only maybe 50 feet and HH sent me a ecx13003 receiver as a replacement. Is that good for at least 200 or more feet if I get as much antenna out of the boat as I can ?

Sorry for the delay,
Its a CNC Prop, 40mm.
The boat was considerably faster but also ran considerably hotter.
I did not take temps but I will and report back.

Happy to report that I received my new receiver in the mail today, ran one battery through it (2S.. sloow) but zero glitches.
Also, I mounted the receiver much higher in the hull to get more antenna out the top. In the stock postition, about 1.5 inches come out the hull.

Which receiver do you get ? Stock one ?

Which receiver do you get ? Stock one ?

Has anyone else have issues with 50 feet or so total range ? Does the replacement one HH sends out when you call them solve the problem or do I just have to relocate it higher in the hull to get more of the antenna exposed ?

[stony30]

No one ?

[stony30]

No one ?

Thanks guys. Hh is sending me an upgraded radio system

? I am looking to get a recoil 26. I kmow they go about 30mph stock. Im looking to upgrade the motor and prop and want to run around 40mph which I hear is about the limit for this hull. I have a 5000mah , two 3850mah and two 3300mah packs that ibwill be using. Can someone recommend a motor (Leopard) and water jacket and prop that will get around 40mph (part numbers please) I will be running stock esc first then ipgrade if necessary. I am goung to install the larger trim tab fins from stealthwake to help stability. Any ideas?

[rcboone2000]

I'm getting 38 mph out of mine with the stock motor and a 120 amp speed control with a x 642 prop and a 3600 ma 50c battery.The boat will still self rite.The recoil is more fun than all of my fast boats

What esc are you using? Do you have speed tests before esc and prop?
