Good point. On the little tiny stuff I run, this isn't that important, so I rarely think of it BUT.... Jan is absolutely right. As you go bigger in hull/power systems, thrust loads on the motor absolutely impact bearing/motor longevity. The UL-19 with that big cable and bigger motor comes to mind. Steve at OSE has all sorts of thrust bearings.
The Mini and Super Clad's were getting some out there boy! I agree that "Shrimp Boat" is a dumb name. Leave it to those China manufacturers, but I think they mean "shrimp" as the rigger is small; not "Shrimp" like the kind we like to eat. I've built 3 wood boats from that same manufacturer and they've all been great hulls. Boat gang!!
Idk. The 3400kv had lower heat with the same prop 32mm same battery (3s 2200 50c) it was in the 120°. The 4000kv was a little warm 160° guess it just depends on which high kv motor you put in the boat. 2835 4000kv wouldn't work as well as a 2968 or 2958 4000kv. Ya know what I mean!
Hey Big B!...... Matty has made an "Official" run video for the Challenge which puts him currently in first place. You have less than a week to submit your official runs on the MicroClad and the Kneeler.....
Hallo to put stringht on the two forward slides i shall put some dreadlocks and than with locatie second gleu en they stay put I do that fir mine wheels fir mine airplanes but very strong greetings
Ive noticed you dont use any fuel tubing or loctite on your prop nuts. I know you change props too much just wondering if you have lost any props? It might be because of what Ive seen at the flying field with hands in props, but be careful touching your props with the batteries connected. I'd hate to see what a 'blip' of a China ESC, or a bump of your tx trigger would do to a finger.
I'm amazed that there was no smoke, come on. 4000Kv on 3S with a fairly large prop is absolutely the recipe for insane speeds like that. but temps seemed right on the edge...... I wouldn't go much bigger on props..... This might be good for insane speed runs with NO turnfins. Just high-speed straightaways, then a slow turnaround for the other direction run. Gotta go to the BIG spot where it's fairly smooth.
I've got a few of these 4000 kv motors and run them on 4s 3200mah 100c in my Deltaforce 23 with big basher props, all the time. There tough little motors
@@Dr_Jet I tried changing the bearings to ceramic bearings on a Kevlar wrap rotor,I did not realise that Kevlar was so easy to damage just scraping it along the magnets as I pulled the rotor out the wrap fell off and the magnets let go on the next run. I found the TP motors and the leopard motors I have, seam to use carbon fibre that does not get damaged doing the bearing change. I run in salt water so the stock bearings fail quite quickly.
Damn dude, the sound of that rigger is exceptional
It did sound pretty cool. I think my rudder is to long causing the hop on the transom? I've got a shorter one I may try next run out
Hey buddy, Mark @ norcalrc asked me to come over and help out the boatgang OG. Am I really 5k . Congrats 🎊🎉🍾🎈 t
Thanks a million. Welcome to the boat gang.
Man the super clad rips!! Get the speed logger in that thang!
Just checked the GPS in the rigger IT FITS C'MON gps test coming soon
Do you use axial thrust bearings on your boats? They take all the thrust forces off of the motor bearings. Motors last way longer with them!

Ii use them on most of my boats. Just the cheap nylon ones.

Now I am getting an idea for a smaller prop on mine. My motor tends to heat up on a 11.1 v 3s 3 mah battery. Works well with a 7. 4 volt.
New sub man. Looks like great content . BG4life
Thanks brother the boat gang is growing glad to have you aboard
Me podrías mandarlos planos?, como podríamos hacerlo?. Gracias from Spain
good reviews on your riggers bro..got some tipsfrom you..want to try those set up..thank u bro
I used to run the nitro version of these!! Still own a couple tunnel hulls wooden vs-1
Try a prather 215 stainless it might wake it up!!
Those old pranther tunnel hulls are all over ebay right now been thinking about picking one up to restore?
Great stuff Big B. 👏
So you'd recommend the higher kV motor for the Shrimper?

@@IRONCLADRC Yeah I get it bro. Still undecided what to put in mine 😕
Cool riggers. Norcalrc told me that the Mack daddy of #boatgang was about to hit 5.000 subscribers and I came running
Thanks brother welcome to the boat gang
@@IRONCLADRC propeller dimensions？
Nice 👍
Need a tiny gps to check the speed on that bullet. It handles like it’s on a rail. Sweeet build bro.
Just checked the GPS in the rigger IT FITS C'MON gps test coming soon

I usually lock-tite my prop nut before I leave the house the locktite usually stays on the shaft for a couple prop changes
Bad ass man

@@IRONCLADRC I guess so. 4S?? That's like 64,000 unloaded rpm. I'm impressed, they ARE tough little buggers.
The rotor is Kevlar wrapped. The magnets aren't just glued onto the shaft like most cheap motors from China
@@IRONCLADRC I might have to add one of those to my arsenal.......
