    The boat will handle 6 s but it needs a smaller prop. If you modify it with cooling upgrades you can run a stock prop or slightly bigger on 6s for 73 + mph but you have to upgrade the cooling system . I love this boat , it’s an absolute rocket ship if set up correctly. Great vid keep them coming !

  • @Cynocehali
    @Cynocehali 3 года назад

    That seems to be a common occurrence. I own a Traxxas m41 and it's rated for 6s. I was using it at a local pond and the solder came off, it was fairly lame luckily I was able to rescue it using a drone. But yeah these companies keep pumping out vehicles that go fast but don't think about the heating and venting.

  • @InspGadgt
    @InspGadgt 5 лет назад +1

    Just like with any vehicle...when you go faster either via faster motor or more voltage...you need to change the gear ratio. For boats that means changing the prop. If you don't you'll over heat things. You must have missed this portion of the instructions: "The included electronics are rated for 2S-6S LiPo batteries; however, running the stock propeller nonstop on a 6S battery could overheat your electronics or damage your batteries. If you run the stock propeller on 6S, we recommend using full throttle on straight line passes only. Return passes should be at half throttle to reduce the heat of the electronics. If you want to run 6S nonstop, use optional propellers (PRB282006 or PRB282027)"

    JJ, Been checking out some of your vids. Nice work! That extra water pickup won't work where you have it. The back of the hull on a hydro will be off the water due to prop lift at speed. The place for that pickup on a hydro is thru the bottom of the sponson where it rides on the water. Nice weather ain't far away!

  • @ericwilliams5962
    @ericwilliams5962 6 лет назад

    I don't know if anyone has touched on this, but no solder joint is coming undone by heat unless that joint is getting 500+ degrees. If it's getting that hot, it's a poor joint. My XT90s on both my boats and X-maxx get warm when running hard.
    An aside, and you should know this if you're into quadcopters, is more voltage means less amperage, so running hot on 4s makes perfect sense.

    • @jjrotogeek
      @jjrotogeek  6 лет назад +1

      Agreeed brother. It was the esc. Over heating and heating through. Swapped her out for a bigger one and no issues. What boats ya running?

    • @ericwilliams5962
      @ericwilliams5962 6 лет назад

      @@jjrotogeek that's weird to me that the ESC would get that hot.
      For now, just an old Aquacraft UL-1 Superior and a V1 Impulse 31, both with HW 120a ESCs, running on 6s in the Impulse, 4s in the UL-1. Now that I look at the video again, I caught a glance of the solder joint and it looks good, so that wasn't the issue.

    • @jjrotogeek
      @jjrotogeek  6 лет назад +1

      Agreed. It was the esc. It’s a known issue with that esc. And that was just on 5s! I’m doing s video this week on a couple new boat builds. You’ll dig it. The new outrigger I built and a genesis that’s going to be very custom lol

  • @Hawcer71
    @Hawcer71 6 лет назад

    Yeah, that boat runs hot, regardless of how many cells you use. Horizon told me 180deg is normal operating temps. The only thing I found that helps is switching to a prop that has less pitch. the stock props 1.7 pitch is too much load on the motor.. I'm going to switch out to a 180amp esc and leopard 4074 combo from OSE..

    • @jjrotogeek
      @jjrotogeek  6 лет назад +2

      Agreed brother. I upgraded the esc and it helped a ton. I’ll swap out the prop next season as well. What prop u going to?

    • @Hawcer71
      @Hawcer71 6 лет назад

      I tried a Octura x442 that was balanced and sharpened. I ordered it for a different boat, but it brought the temps down quite a bit. There’s a guy on here using a ABC 1716 prop hitting over 70mph stock with 6s.

    @petergoodwin2465 Год назад

    Had the same problems with the UL19 and Voracity. Those escs are junk . Voracity overheated even with double cooling. Big boats like that need a decent esc. We ran a TFL pursuit all day flat out with the stock hobbywing 120amp esc and 3660 motor and not a problem. Proboat are slipping with quality.

    The pickup at the back of your hull will do exactly nothing... the rear of your hull on that style boat is for air relief and rides above the water surface at speed

  • @MrPatrickgannon
    @MrPatrickgannon 6 лет назад

    Hi I came across your channel and was listening to the issues you had with boat. I have a Pro Boat Recoil 26 I upgraded the prop to a 440 cnc 3/blade that gave me an additional 6mph faster speed. Then I upgraded the stock 60 amp ESC to the dynamite 120 amp. It runs 4s great but as soon as I tried 6s the boat got so hot the ec3 connector to the lipo battery melted off just like what happened to you. So I fixed that and should have taken it as a clear warning not to use anything larger then a 4s lipo, well I didn't I tried it one more time got two laps in and boom fried the motor. So I ordered a dynamite 2300kv 14 pole marine motor should be ready next week, but no more 6s just sticking to 4s it just runs to hot. The boat will max out at 50 mph on 4s I guess I should just be happy with that and call it a day. But I'm like you always trying to make things better and faster. Anyway just wanted to share that with you long story short a 120 amp ESC is not big enough to handle 6s so they should stop telling people it can, so they don't waste money, you know what I mean. Listening to you talk about all that stuff and upgrading your ESC to 150 amp all makes sense to me now so I can stop trying to figure out why my recoil will not run 6s, so thanks now I know sticking to 4s only,

    • @jjrotogeek
      @jjrotogeek  6 лет назад

      Hey brother!!!! Yeah woth the upgraded esc and dual water pick up, she runs 5s nice and cool. Haven’t tried 6s. Not sure I will. Can barely keep it in the water on 5s. Can u send me the link to the prop your using??? Oddly enough I just sharpened and balanced mine tonight

    • @MrPatrickgannon
      @MrPatrickgannon 6 лет назад

      I got the first 440 cnc 3 blade prop on ebay for 21 dollars, ran the boat at a summer camp for the kids showing off shit like that, gave the Recoil full throttle and it jumped out of the pool breaking the prop. The second one I purchased off of Amazon for $31.00 with free shipping, great prop .You can find it on ebay just type 440 cnc 3 blade rc boat prop it should be in stock, they make it in China like everything else but it came to the house fast works great.

    • @jjrotogeek
      @jjrotogeek  6 лет назад

      The three blades prop is one of the reasons your running hot though. Lot more torque. I’m running a huge 3 blade prop on my 52” proboat rockstar and it jumps out too. If u want to run 5 or 6s. You’ll have to drop to a two blades prop. Thanks for the info brother. I’ll pick one up and play with it in 4s
