Stiletto First Run w/New Boat

[Darin Jordan]

... and a new flexshaft!!

You should be able to use any standard length K&B 3.5 style shaft. The ones from the Bullet Drive, that Steven sells here on OSE, should work as well. You MIGHT have to fit them, however, which may involve trimming a tad off of each end, but otherwise, they will work. Might be a better quality cable as well.

ESC in linear setting-0% thru 75%

=AndyKunz;228621]What cells are you using? 4s 2pack 5000 40c thunder power pack-stacked in front. Boat handles great. NO top end speed, programed esc to linear setting. How many cycles on them? 5 cycles. I have tried everything I know to the Radio settings and bought a program card and between 3/4 and full throttle nothing. Just tops out at 3/4 throttle. All settings set to Darin's suggestions and it has inproved the handlling of the boat. I also tried a 40mm prop 3blade. Performance same as stock prop. I believe that the ESC is not giving me 100% throttle or the stock flex-shaft is causing to much drag or thats all this boat will go. One thing for sure is the esc in linear setting is 0% thru 75%. Battery and or different props or settings has no effect on the throttle. Anyone change out stock ESC ?

Why are you guys changin ANY settings besides the lvc? Also don't swim for your boat. There, I said it. Saying it's ok will make you feel like sh$T when one of your buddies or forum members ends up at the bottom of the pond. If you do swim for it, I don't want to hear about it either.

Changing settings

Why are you guys changin ANY settings besides the lvc? lTrying to get a linear 0 thru 100% throttle response. I use a rescue boat. Also don't swim for your boat. There, I said it.

So with the program card, do you change the ESC's setting one step at a time or do you just change the switches to the setting's you want & power up the ESC?

[ron1950]

Yes, you just change the setting and power up. For my boat it had no effect. So I'm thinking that the esc from factory is the same as Darin"s esc setup. You may not want to spend the money for the card unless for future use.

You two twits are idiots...piss off

Ok, Doug. Enough name calling. I know its you humour, but people don't understand it and take offense. Next time, its a time out for you.

I stand by my comments on this thread and if those comments cause a time out, so be it.
