Stiletto First Run w/New Boat

[Darin Jordan]

Are we talking about the Stiletto?

HAHAHAHAHAHa... Ooops... wrong thread! Got confused with the MG!

ON the Stiletto, YES, there is still should be room for a pair of 5000's like that. If they aren't too long, you can lay them end-to-end in the bottom. You may find the weight works out better if you stack them toward the front, however.

Sorry... it was late when I posted that previously.

Well ok I did not try everything I think my esc might be limited not getting full throttle,I need to figure out if I'm getting full throttle.Need to look more into the esc setup.I like running at 35 anyway anymore your looking for a flip.Also at 35 mph lake was a little rough,been windy lately here in NJ.I will wait for flat water and run it again,so again I take that comment back that I Quote Tried everything!

Guys... First... this hull is NOT gel-coated... that's white paint. Very heavily laid on, white paint.

NOW you tell me!



Oh well, whatever works to fix that hole. Could you find out which kind of paint we should use for repairs?

[GP73]

Thank you for the update Darin!
and I just relized I have a DX2.0 radio for my Losi-8T that should work with this boat
and Darin, will two of these in series fit just fine? I have 6 of them

I have these and they work just fine: http://hobbycity.com/hobbyking/store...dProduct=10277 (Turnigy 5200mAh 2S 30C Hard-Case Car Lipo Pack)

You can put the horizontal or vertical, either way they fit.

They work much better in the front, the boat is way more stable while cornering (using the start setup that you mentioned few posts earlier).

darin are u saying to put both 2 cells side by side in the front of the battery compartment? interesting lol

I was having the same issue w/ESC. I bought a programing card and re-programed to Darins specs. NO change ,same speed. I adjusted boat to Darin specs. No change. Used a 40mm 3 blade carbon prop ,no change in speed. No GPS but I would guess 30ish for speed with or without stock prop.

What cells are you using? How many cycles on them?

hey andy mine is very slow also with new 5000/40c lipos with 2 cycles on them....going to stack em in front of battery as darin suggests and see what happens...also putting a x440 3 blade on it this moring to see whats up there.....but havent gone to liner throtle till i get it set up better ....i was amazed that this motor will run underwater lol

also i have a friend with dx3.0..older model no sticker with a boat on it....he says it will be fine with his mr3000 rx (or whatever the number is with the boat) what can he expect? no bind or no range or what? thanks

[AndyKunz]

The MR3000 won't work unless the Tx has a boat on it (airplane tx's work with Marine too).

The nice part about running BL motors underwater is that it doesn't kill your brushes :)

[Darin Jordan]

You guys... if you are programming the ESC to "Logarithm" mode, you are only getting about 80% Throttle... Set it to linear....

[heli123]

Well guys just snapped my greased flex shaft,under warranty no big deal but should not happen had to swim for the boat today

Why is the end square?

[Rumdog]

OOPs. Sorry. I thought I was looking at the Geico thread.
