Will 540 L-size can brushless motors fit on the EKOS stock motor mount? What mod would be neccessary to fit 3/16 props on the stock shafts? I plan to run 2 9L cans through 2 120A esc's off 2 3S 25C lipos with X442 props...

AFAIK, 540s wont fit the stock mounts. I want to say I tried it once with a CC motor I had for mockup. If you want 540s, you will have to do a mount swap.
I forget what size brass tube it is, but to mount up 3/16" props, all you need is a few spacers like these http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...?prod=ose-1030

Are you looking for a shaft? I may have an extra. What side are you looking for?

[VIKOS]

Doesn't matter both motors are counter routating. But it's the left side that is missing. Do u guys think you need the white washer that goes on before the dog bone. Guys here say they have stopped using prop spacers on there shafts So do I really need it.

[Chris Nicastro]

The flex shaft does matter because they are wound for their respective sides. Dont use a right hand shaft on the left and vice versa.

I dont use them only because I swapped my motor for ammo's and different couplers and the flex shafts are a teenie bit short. Just be sure you leave enough clearance between the drive dog and strut. you dont want to rub metal to metal once that flex shaft winds up! Oh yeah, sorry vikos I have two right side spares, no lefts.

[VIKOS]

damn that sucks meatballs..hey chris by any chance do you guys know when you'll be recieving those flex shafts..all I'm waiting for is shafts and washers and my charger...they might be wound to the motors but as far as not being able to use them to run..I don't think it would be a major issue. The most that would happen is i'd loose another flex shaft all together....

I havent run the ekos lately because of an esc that has been not working too well. So I ordered a pair of turnigy 120's in anticipation of using the fiegao 380xl's, when ose recievs them. I found out that the ekos c.o.g. is about 32%+ with the batteries as far back as they can go. I usually run my gps in front of the battery trays, but today I managed to shove my garmin forerunner in the back of the hull. The boat seemed very fast, and I got a gps reading of 48.2mph! My fastest time yet. All this excitement has prompted me to remove the battery trays and lay down some velcro in order to get the batteries back about another 3/4". Hoping that this will bring the c.o.g. to about 28-30% where it probably needs to be.

Bill, are you running your EKOS on 4s with those motors? How are your temps, and how long are your run times? Which props did you use for that last gps run??

I will have shafts shortly. Some one still needs to test a piece of 130 cable in the coupler to be sure. I have stubs, etc and are made to stock specs.
