King Of Shaves C1 Brushless!

[6S HYDRO]

ya thats what i thought but how long did you run it dragboat? if it burnt up the wires on 3s like that, i cant imagine being able to run very long on 4s without the wires melting.

From what I heard, one of the cooling tubes was kinked under the motor, so the motor over heated.

There were no kinks in the water tubing. See my post #185:

I believe the problem has to do with the motor water jacket. It was much easier to blow throught the lines once the motor was removed from the stream.

Yea, one of the problems with this boat is its assembly. When you get, you have to go over ever screw and make sure its tight as well as double check all the cooling hoses to make sure they arent kinked or pinched. I was satisfied on 3S with a prop upgrade. I figure it runs as fast as the 4S setup on stock props, but for less money (that wasnt my main premise by the way). I knew I would be trying 5S or even 6S in the future with new electrics, so I figured just get some off the shelf batteries and not have to wait for ordered ones.
But now that my last run resulted in it dropping a flex shaft, Im out of comission for a while. I figure instead of trying to get parts that may or may not exist with Venom as of right now, Im just going to convert to piano wire or maybe a 3/16" flex shaft setup. The new ESCs and 5S batteries should be here next week. I already have the motor mounts and some more cooling hardware, so I wil get to work on that as well next week. When the funds get replenished then I'll order my Neu's

I don't think over heating a motor would cause this, looks more like a defect from the manufacture..

If at all possible, take pictures of your upgrade process. It will help the rest of us in the future.

Of course, thanks in advance...

Restriction was the word.

Now that I am back to a decent internet connection, I thought I'd post pics of the motor.

Maybe we should pass the offering plate around and help Drag Boat Bob get some new NEU or Fiegao 380s..

I can hear the coins clinking already..LOL!

In the meantime...

What do you think of replacing both motors with a couple of Ammo 28-56-3200's and run them on the 3s batteries that I have? Of course I would have to find some water jackets that fit.

At least they are in stock at Tower and I could get them in a couple of days.

The stock venom motor is approx 53mm long. It is hard to tell with the way the water jacket extends beyond the back end of the motor. It's almost 61mm including the water jacket.

Since these guys are not too far from me, I will look into their products.

I will say that it looks good on paper...

Check Rcgroups, some guys are pulling 1500-2000watts on 6s+
