- Finally, the Harsh Winter blessed me with warm weather! Enough to run the JAE21 Rigger, aka Hawkeye, for the very first time!
Unfortunately, 2 minutes in & the Second Kraken 180a pops a Capacitor.
Let me know what you would do in the comments.
This esc came from Aliexpress, so I doubt I'll get any warranty on this one.
Is the Leopard Hobby 2650kv motor too much?
Is the Flycolor Kraken esc too Small?
Is this boat simply cursed?

I feel for you, sometimes super frustrating. It’s always something. Keep up the great videos.
You’ve got a really slick build there;awesome. I’ve only got one other comment to make…..you’re scaring the crap out of me every time you touch that prop while the power is still on! It will be really hard to build another boat while missing your fingers . Please be more careful 😬
Been following for a while. You definitely have some drive, ability, a bit of addiction….. but man every time I see the boats on the pool table, I’m like… let’s have some beer’s and play some pool! Hahaha. Nice boats bud. Happy new year. Edit.. just finished washing the full video and I’m totally convinced that you should definitely keep a good spacing so the shaft has pleanty of room to compress. I’ve lost tons of shafts.
Funny did a run today with one of my hydros has the same thing I was leaving a 5 mil gap and it would pull in the shaft , and my mates boat blew his capacitor
Would really cold outside temps be a factor?? I am just asking bc it seems to be a coincidence
Beautiful boat bud!! You did a great job with that paint job! Looks nice and tidy inside as well! Sorry this happened to you and after reading the comments I see what they are talking about. We have all made that error! On my BJ42 one time I pushed the drive dog into the bushing, and it fused itself together!! I have never seen it happen twice. The flex cable "could have been the culprit" but without any Data Logs it's all gonna be a guessing game. Some will be easy to see what went wrong but the actual reason we will never know! Thanks for the video bud!
Castle XLX2 and call it a day!! This way you can remove that off the list of possibilities to go wrong! Proven to be tried and true is what my opinion would be! 😁
Awesome build! That is fast!! I'd be sending my Xmaxx or other rc's across a pond like that quite often!! 💯🔥💥🚀
Looks like a tight gap on the flex cable? My gap is a little bigger than thickness of the cable .
Flex cable clearance is way to small my friend.
Beautiful boat, bummer the cap popped. Sorry I can’t offer any explanation to the ESC issue. Look forward to you running her again. 🍻
If you addd a cap bank first it might have been ok. Motor is no big load
with an ESC flat and thin like that, why not lay it flat to the bottom of the fuselage so it's cooler from the water?
I don’t know if this will help but I’m an old rc boater and back in the day the nylon or Teflon washer ok for lower power boats but on all of our riggers and hydro’s we always ran a thrust bearing on the cable at the strut. It really seemed to free up the motors
Nice boat ... I hate to say this but you've been running these boats Way long enough to know you need to put at least 2 mm or more gap on those flex shafts the more power you run the more that things going to twist up and then you showed us about the movement on that motor TP motor and you're going to get the that little washer bearing to go on the motor shaft when I saw that I ordered them right away two of my boats to go on the flex shaft, before the stinger,but I haven't got to test some yet, because of the weather, the biggest motor I have is a 3660,,2600kv.. when I only put a 1 mm gap on it one time it shredded the Teflon washer you are hardly had any gap on that motor has got tons of power twisting up it just popped those cops and probably a second pulling all kinds of current to get that thing to twist... Boating is fun kind of sucks when you have to learn the hard way.. always full triggerrrrr
I'd try the seaking 180 with the cap pack. I think the seaking is weak but I have one with the same cap pack and it did great with a bigger motor. I can't say it was the same motor as yours though. At least that will give you some information. I thank you for doing all these videos because everything you blow up or get working saves me money and time.
Use a Castle if you can. Or a HobbyWing Pro that Fly color tried to copy.
I put my esc up front on zipkits 33 fe it was a heavier esc than the kraken a bit like a XL2s and that got the balance better closer to 6040 rather than 50/50 it un loads the prop a bit as well.
I run the tp4060 1650 with high magnetism on 8s but it’s only 1650 kv .
on that boat I got 112 mph abc 1820 by dasboata then I put all that gear in a carbon fibre rigger it has even less Wright on the prop and gets 122 mph
Gap seems a little tight. Seemed slow for that setup. Trash the Kraken and put in a Raider 150 or SK180 and call it a day. Thats the same setup I have in my 21 and it runs 55 PClass
That long flex cable will wind up a lot under load. Give it more room for shrinkage. The instructions call for 1/4”. I don’t believe you have an electrical problem as much as a mechanical problem
@Scramblerkidd well the first Esc went up in Smoke during the first throttle blip on the bench. I wonder if its the motor
Gap WAAAAY to small!!!! 3/16" gap fpr 3/16" cable!!!!
Yup, gap to small
Too much partial throttle and turning too much
