Good Day Sr. just came across this video and I am very impressed with your knowledge. I am currently. building my RC boat It's a 38" cat. t's 3D printed and will have carbon fiber coating. Should weigh about 6.5-7 lbs empty . I'm not racing it but would like to see at least 60 mph. I'm researching electronics options Was thinking twin props but not 100% necessary. Any suggestions for the drive system would be greatly appreciated Thanks
Lots of good info about motors en esc's... Not i intent to race, but good info is always interesting. Personally i'm more interested in details, like preparing props, sanding bottom, ideal placement rudder (if there is one), etc. The tips and tricks from a pro. I noticed these are the things that made me go fast. Its not like, take a big motor and you will be fast, there's a lot more to it.
@@peteroosterhoff8850 thanks for the comment and suggestions. I'll try to remember that next shop video I do. It's just so hot here in SE Texas right now, I'm usually in and out of my shop ASAP haha
@@alexrex20 here its about 83 to 86 tomorrow (Netherlands), so a good day for boating, then it becomes cooler again. Tomorrow going to a big pond to test my setup. Unfortunately one off my best lipo's has a damaged cell, so have to take it bit easier. The other lipo's don't like this setup (x8s, 4092/1650kv/46-3blade). But want to see how it handles or if i have to do minor adjustments for when i have a new lipo.
Have you ever got one of these motors wet? I had the cooling nipple pop off, flood the boat & and the motor got wet. I oiled the bearings and kept a fan on my boat for 5 days. Next trip out it seemed under powered. 2100kv 3890can
Any chance you have an extra water block that you would be willing to sell. I have a brand new Monster X 6s, the 1st esc you talked about. Do you happen to know what ESC equivalent is in the Traxxas boats?
Thanks for sharing. Tell me more about your esc wiring. I noticed you’re running extra cap packs. I have an X8s but I’m seeing too much Ripple than I’d like. Almost double from compared to my xlxs2.
it can never hurt to add a cap pack to an ESC but i've never needed to add one on an X8S. but i only run 4S on my X8S ESCs. i normally see around 1.0-1.2V of ripple on the X8S. on the MMX6S and Cobra8, they do need an external cap pack in my opinion.
Very nice video we need people to explain and share information in this hobby thank you sir

your cap packs are helping cooling too. Mamba Monster X has data logging

the Traxxas would be equivalent to the Mamba Monster 2. no i do not have any extra water blocks.
Lot of good info! What brand hull is trash can?
@@tabmurry it's Aeromarine
@@alexrex20 that's what I figured out of production 😪

Great video👍
Just found your channel and subscribed
Castle XL2 escs are nice too...
what did you do to the Castlwe 1515?
it has the solder tabs removed and the wires are soldered directly to the windings and pointed out the back, to allow the use of a rear support ring.
This is hy I built the larger Pearl for lsh class
