The Voracity tuning thread

The ESC comes from the factory in Li-Po Mode. To
change battery chemistry:
1. Keep the throttle at neutral and power ON the ESC.
2. Press and hold the Battery Chemistry Button on the
power switch for 3 seconds. The LED flashes the
current battery chemistry (red = Ni-MH or Ni-Cd,
green = Li-Po).
3. Continue holding the Battery Chemistry Button
for another 6 seconds. The ESC changes battery
chemistry and the LED flashes the new battery
chemistry.
4. Power OFF the ESC. The ESC saves the setting until
it is changed.

I turn the transmitter on. Power on esc. Red light with one beep then red flashing continuous with continuous beeps. I can't get anything to work. If I put the trigger forward like reverse it'll just start spinning the motor full speed and I have to turn off switch very fast. I am so lost

I'm fighting blowovers. 1st outing, the boat was running super smooth with the trim tabs just touching a straight edge along the hull, strut trimmed slightly positive, and 3S packs all the way back in the tray. The hull runs really dry and starts to float once up to top speed, then the nose will catch air if you don't let off. So today, I trimmed the strut level, and the nose would bounce in the straights, but still wanted to lift off. I brought it it, put the strut back to the positive angle it ran yesterday, and the bounce went away, but still lifts off. What's the best to adjust first, COG or trim angle? It seems like most people in this thread were running with packs all the way back, which is were I'm at.

Once I broke over 55 mph I had to adjust the trim tabs down just a bit. Ended up with the batteries all the way back too. She rides on the last 2 inches of hull with a nice stance on top of the water.

Have pictures of how far your tabs are adjusted down?

I've been running with the batteries about an inch shy of the front of the battery trays and that seems to keep the aerobatics to a minimum. Still a little loose when I run over ripples or my own wake. I agree, probably should add a little more trim tab, but I hate the amount of flex they put on the transom when you put a little force into them so I'm waiting until I get some proper adjustable tabs installed.

I'll get some pics this weekend.

Nice. You were running a 1915 prop right? What are you going to use with the new motor?

[paulfromtulsa]

I still plan on running the 1915 . It was a great prop for this boat but we'll see maybe I can prop up just a little

If you do, I'll buy the 1915 if you want to move it. I'm running a 1914 that's working out well, but might like a little more for the calm days.

I'm running a dasboata 2214 on mine stock motor and a 180 amp speed control. I'm running 72 to 74 mph.I have been running this set up for about a year.I have 60c 500ma batterys and run them to low voltage cut off nothing gets hot

[rcboone2000]

Should be 5000ma

Furreal? Not 62-64mph? The fastest speed I've seen reported on that prop with a stock motor was 62mph and you're 10+mph over that. That would definitely be the stock motor record (by a LOT) if it's not a typo. Arrover only managed 72mph with the same prop using a Leopard 4092-1730kv motor.

[rcboone2000]

72 to 74 mph I run my boat very loose.I was talking to arrover at the time. I checked the speed with 2 gps.I'm trying to r ember I think it ran 66 67 mph with a 457 octura prop.I remember the drive is raised a lot and the right tab is level the left tab is about 2mm above level the bottom of the hull is sanded with 380 grit.I set my boat up like we set up our nitro drag boat and our alcohol flat bottom we ran those very very loose.I haven't run this boat in a while been playing with my zelos 36

dayum. Post up in this thread, again, and get your stamp.
