miss geico running 53mph

[joker rc]

Out of curiosity, how long are run times? Does it get really hot? How old is this setup ie; how many runs on this setup? Thanks

run times on 5s 9000mah 10 -12 min at most ,yes got hot after that video ,didnt temp it but it felt hot , both motor and esc , not cooking hot just hot ,,,its a few months old had 12 sets of 2s run through it ,this is the second or third time i have run on 5s fist time was 42x55 grim racer prop ,you could tell just by listing to it the prop was to small motor was screaming . this video is first time out with x642 and instantly i noticed it was faster and pushed through the war"war" to level out as it reaches top speed ,
not looking for more speed its fast enough for me,, but i have three 45mm props to try ,after i add better cooling , seems to only trickle the water out at speed ,faster it goes less water flows ,strange .thinking i might add duel water pick up in the ride pad ,when i level them out , its the next step , and full custom repaint i have a second stock miss geico as well i built up from a hull and all the bits i replaced on this , so i like to change the color on this one , inside the hull is reinforced with carbon/kevlar cloth and custom carbon fiber motor mounts on 40mm motor mount ,custom servo mount ,reinforced hatch and all the hull seams have been reinforced in carbon/kevlar . only 1 layer ,carbon fiber battery trays mounted lower in the Sponsons allows them big 5s lipos to squeeze in nice and low , has kintec floating bush and stainless duel grub screw motor cup link drive. stock flex and liner , not one drop of water enters this boat remains dry after every run , build thread in miss geico

quot : The ride surface as a whole was designed to be a plane, that is flat for a specific distance, and then arcs upwards toward the sponson tips. For some reason (pulled from the molds too soon, or ???), the ride surfaces seem to arc a bit, mostly on the left sponson. The surfaces should sit flat on a table and not rock for balanced handling.


I can see the arc in the left center rid pad just looking at it with out a straight edge , as i said in video description she is not going to run smoother then that mid throttle till the hull is fix ..
