King Of Shaves C1 Brushless!

I haven't taken one apart yet, but from the looks of it, they are running on a gear box. That makes all the difference.

No gear box- that is just the motor withouth the watercooler portion. They are direct drive

Interesting. Can't wait to see two things. 1st a motor without the sleeve. 2nd the longevity of these motors on 4s.

Steve would the Neu 1100 be an adequate upgrade, possibly the 1115 series. Due to space constraints.

[Steven Vaccaro]

Power wise, I think so. They pack quite a punch. But they also pack quite a punch to the wallet.

I just got back from the lake to try my prop mods. I filed down all the casting flash left over from the factory and polished the props in a tumbler last night. It seemed to have worked. New top speed was measured at 35.0mph in the same conditions (less wind) on 3S. I think there may be more left in it with some ESC programming (max out the timing perhaps?) and maybe some prop angle adjustments to reach that elusive claimed 40mph out of the box number.

I don't have the box in front of me at the moment, but I believe the 40 out of the box has a smallish print notation down below that says on 4S lipo.

The box states:

"40mph/64kph speeds require 11.1v lipo battery packs"

Hopefully my batteries will arrive today...

[NitroVal]

Yup, it say only 3S batteries.
I ran again today with the x442 props. Pretty impressive, 8.6mph gain. New best 43.6mph with nothing but props. They may be a little big though. I think the amp draw would be excessive with 4S batteries. The motors and ESC were warm, but the motor wires were hot. Im gonna run again tomorrow and take my temp gun to make sure. Anyone know how hot is too hot?
This helps my decide that the OSE calculator is pretty dead on, even though its for single motors and this boat runs dual motors. The calculator put my top speed at 42mph

That's what I was thinkin..

Another vid from yesterday. Bare with me as I was driving with one hand, filming with the other, and trying to avoid trees and rocks from our constantly dropping lake levels

Loving this boat more and more everyday

[Doby]

Nice obstical course you have set up!

[nomobux]

Yes ... I woulda crashed for sure.

[NitroVal]

Yea Im starting to get a little worried about my spot. Its a closed boat ramp due to the water level being too low, but the lake is dropping a foot every week, so I dont know what is lying just beneath the surface that I cant see. I cant imagine hitting a rock at 40mph

[6S HYDRO]
