New Proboat Impulse 31" Deep Vee

[Diesel6401]

Darin i noticed at the 3:48 mark on the new "On the Horizon" video the coupler isn't the normal PB coupler we are use to, but is a staight (set screw) coupler. Is this wire drive?

Depends on what kinds of packs you're running.

For 2s1p, I just run normal 5.5mm bullets negative on esc to negative on one battery, positive on esc to positive on other battery, and the remaining two together.

If you have two 4s packs and want them in parallel, you'll need a y adapter on each ESC wire.

If you have 2s packs and want to combine them into 4s2p you'll need the two y adapters as well as plugging the packs together like I do.

That would be what i would want to do i have 2 Turnigy nano-tech 6000mah 4S 25~50C Lipo Pack...do u have a link to the Y adaptor or a diagram to make one>?
Thanx in advance

I've got one on back order at my LHS can't wait to get it.

Is the stuffing tube chambered because it does not have a stinger? Boat looks great. I just hope the lid isn't thin plastic like the Geico.

[wparsons]

Nope, but having it chambered gives you MUCH more room to adjust it. You typically can't get as much adjustment out of a stinger either.

Also would you use a special connector for series and/or parallel?...Thanx again

Yes, typically home made but, can be purchased from OSE.

One Y should have one female at bottom and two males at the top, the other needs to be opposite. One male at bottom & 2 female at top.

Plug each pack into the pairs of Y wires and then you have a pair left for input to esc.

Make sure you connect positive to positive and negative to negative or .

Would 2 - 2S SPC 4700 mAh 25 Lipo packs be more than enough for this boat. Also, can the electronics on this boat handle 6S?

[dmwilson09]

It measures about 29.5" down the keel... 31" to the overhang.

The hull has a unique spray rail design that should help keep it from submarining most of the time, as well...

Initial speeds are typical of the power system... ProBoat took all their boats out and did some radar testing, using bone stock, out of the box boats with stock, un-prepped ProBoat props and here are the notes they sent me for this boat:

Impulse 31
Stock – 32mph on 4S-45C
Stock – 47mph on 6S-25C
Stock – 47mph on 6S-50C
1.9” Prop – 48mph on 6S-25C (Yes, we know you told us not to try this prop with this setup, and as you warned, we fried the ESC on this setup)

So, I'd expect about 40 or so with the right prop on 4S and obviously much faster with more cells. And WAY faster with more motor!

What prop would be recommended to get the boat to 40 plus on 4S?

[wparsons]

Not sure about the prop, but if you're going to push it on 4s I would get 40C packs to be safe.

[v-spec]

It'll do 40+ with an x445

[slow-at-rc]

Mine is in the 40's or real close to it with a x445 with two Thunder power 40 c packs

[cvlex]

Two 2S5000mAh packs or one 4S5000mAh pack for this boat?

Although I already have six ProTek 2S5000mAh40C packs for my Shockwave 26 BL and Miss Geico 29, it might be easier to charge one 4S pack than two 2S packs.

Any tips or recommendations are all welcome.

Thanks in advance,
