The official 36" zelos twin modding thread

I wanted to let you guys know there a different option if you want to run 6s and not have to fool with 4 batteries and not quite as much weight.....

Do you think the added weight will compensate a bit for not being able to go all the way under the bow?

Personnally i prefer 2 x 6s in parallele !!

It happens! Can't wait to see it! I'm kinda digging the no decals look. If I repainted mine I want the word Zelos in the Fightercat font!

Yes. I didn't run mine under the deck anyway.

Water should shoot a good 16-18 inches out.

I'd be shocked if you have a 18" water stream Lol

Travis are you planning on a motor swap I noticed you have yours out in that picture.

How would this work with regards to what Rafael mentioned with the purpose of the cooling. He stated somewhere in this thread that you wont see water spraying 6-8" out the outlets because it is designed to keep the water just enough to cool the motors and ESC efficiently. DO NOT QUOTE me on that. lol

Do not use Y splitters. Water, like electricity will choose the path of least resistance. Putting Y's in place will only cause more heat issues.

How hot are you guys running that you need so much water running through your electronics? If you have heat issues, it's for a reason. Running more water through the system is just a band aid, the issue causing the heat is still there.

My motors in particular got real hot to the point when I opened the hatch there was some smoke. Not its not on fire smoke but smoke nonetheless. First thing I thought was I had clogged lines. Not the case! I thought maybe the motor and shaft alignment. I double checked that a few minutes ago and it's all good as of now. I have free turns from both shaft when powered and no vibrations like I did before I changed my bearings. Will give it another go this afternoon and report back.
