Doby's too much of a Puss to try. He is worried the $20 esc will bite the bullet...

Wusssssss....

I would really love to know how well they do or do not do on 4s

[H2OCamel]

Man now I want one!

Ran my Sniper today, stock set up, with full Eagle Tree set up. My RPM was off since I did not know how many poles this small ourtrunner has? (you need to enter the value since I am using the brushless motor sensor).

Second question, what motor, brushless outrunner, I assume due to the nice water cooled mount, would you recommend as an upgrade. I already have a bunch of spae Seaking waterproof ESC's that go all the way to 180 AMps?

Customer of mine changed his boat a little from stock as the video shows.

I personally think keeping the rpm/kv to under 30,000 is probably the best route to take. IE upgrading the motor to higher KV. Rather than throwing a 4s in there. JMO. It might be worth just seeing what a 4S will; but for running with a little more speed, a higher KV motor for sure.

well I have 6 2200mah 3s packs and 4 2200mah 4s packs so I could have a very fun day with one of these DF23's!

Here is the upgrade motor I have installed and will test today:

Be warned, that TT boat may smoke the motor & ESC first run.

Don't see how they expected a 37mm outrunner to power a 40" boat????

Nice looking boat though, lots of upgrade possible.

No worries Ray
the first thing I'm doing is pulling the motor and esc (selling them)
and putting in a .... motor and .... esc and run on 6s

but post me an outrunner you think would make this hull fly

Its a good motor for a 25"-29" hull but, not 40", Jeese!


A Turnigy HK 4030 1400KV will get it moving well but, I am going to use a Leopard 5692 1092 KV in my 40" mono build. Just have to start it....

I am going to try the Turnigy 880Kv motor or the 1100Kv one on 7S2P also, to see how they work.

They are very nice motors for the money.
