    Upgrade motors for the King of Shaves.

    I have some feigao 380 XL motors on the way for the dual cat. Should be a big improvement.

        Did you order them directly or or through a local distributer?

              I've had one customer running 10L motors. But I would suggest waiting for the xl series.

                  Those props are waaay too big. I get 36mph on venoms 36mm pro machined props. The little 380 motors dont have enough torque to spin a 47mm prop. They will spin, but the rpm is significantly reduced and the motors get extremely hot trying to push those big wheels. You're not gonna get much more speed then mid 30's on 3s. If you want more speed you,re gonna have to swap out the motors for something with higher quality and bump up to 4s. Take your time. Happy boating!

                    Steven, any plans on offering a longer version of the 380 sized water jacket for the feigao?

                        I just ordered the fiego 380 l motors, water jackets, water outlets and xtra tubing. I took the water outlets off the motors and put them on the motor mounts. I have 4 ektra brass tubes that ill mount on back so motor, mount, and esc each have there own intakes and outlet. Ant ideas on who makes the best and smallest 4s lipos and B/S props besides venom. Allready have a set of 36 mill machined props. Hope the order comes in asap.

                            Wednesday is my day off sort of, I'm not in the office, but orders still ship. The quickest way is the contact page from the OSE website. A FYI, most all the orders placed yesterday have already been shipped this morning.

                              Not much out there as far as counter rotating props are concerned. The 36mm venoms you have are great props. I'm not posotive but check ose's website details on the feigao L-sized motors. I think they are only good up to 3s lipo. Thats why I'm waiting for the XL's. They are rated for 4s.
