i dunno if i over voltaged it or if it was maybe just a junk motor.

i bought all the boat stuff about a year ago or maybe longer, and i forget exactly what the kv rating was, but all the replacement motors i looked up yesterday that drop right in like this one did are all about 15mm longer.

i got a 2000kv coming. i read that anything over that in the 2040 can size just makes more noise on 3s with the stock pump.

next time i'm just gonna get the velineon 1/16 traxxas setup.

That's a beast of a motor, on 2s it scoots my Mini E-Revo around like a wildcat!

It was really cool!
It did sound like a little jet.
It can turn on a dime and it was quick as hell with that little motor... it's gotta be insane with the VXL.

they sound like a pissed off hornet. especially this one....

nqd rc jet boat. sickly powerful. brushless 14.8v - YouTube

i'll see how this new motor works, if it keeps its cool then i'll get the velineon and a bigger jet drive for the other boat.

foster was low enough that we could have set gates in the river around the rocks and had a little jetboat course.

Hey guys, on scrc forum there's a couple Honchos for sale, one is $350 one for $400 I think. Both are pretty beefy and upgraded and fairly new. Jason, the guy that went to the cliffs with us in the black hummer is selling them.

Has anyone done the flysky hack kit? I am not confident at all in my skills especially near a motherboard.

Been contemplating getting rid of my sportsman rig. Between the bully and scaler I'm just not that interested in it. Anyone interested?
