Looks good man!
did you check temps? I bet you could run a bit bigger prop

Thanks I have the 3300KV motor and my prop was 31.5mm the esc ws 79deg and motor bairly over 100 deg but my 3S battery got hot 130 to 135deg but i ran it till 3.4 lipo cut off...I am going to grind a cf prop down to 30mm or 29mm it will make the battery run cooler ... and you never know it could get faster also.
If it don't work out well i could just run it a min or so less and it should be ok.

sounds a little odd to me that your esc is cold and your motor warm but your battery is hot?

take temps 2 minutes in. If the batt is cool, youre prob running too long.

that was my first thought, possibly getting hot running down to lvc?

Yes most likely but i am going to try the new 29mm prop and see how that goes...it may cavatate to much and if that happens back to 31mm and just time my run until lipo cut off comes on and subtract a min and i think i will be good.

I'm thinking, the 29 will just spinnn and spinnn

Z28,

Glad to see that it is running good! Those Apache's can be fun once you get them moving twice the stock speed or better.
How is it turning for you under power? I am supposing a lot better than with the outdrive doing the turning. I know mine was hooking badly before I went to the separate rudder. I think I may need to trim a little of the bottom of my rudder, because it is pulling a little to the right when going straight, and I think it may be the extra drag of the long rudder.
Have fun with the fine tuning!
