@bill34207 Hey what speeds can i expect out of this boat with my nue 1527 .5y with competion winds? Is my motor any good or is it a slow motor? thanks..
Hey bill I was just wondering what kind of modifications you may have done to your cooling system, I don't think mine is getting enough water through it.
Everything I've done to it is my build log. (including replacing the cooling lines with larger tubing). Check the description of the video and select more. The link is at the bottom of the description.
Hey nice setup. I was reading your thread on rc groups. You and gebiena both have great setups. I was wondering if i could combine the Feiago motor with the turnigy 180amp esc?
I don't see why not. The 180 is a good esc and have a friend that is running the turnigy 120 on 6s with a Feigao 540XL. I don't recall the number designation but it's the 1490 kv motor
2 minutes of race type running will put the packs at about 125* F with X640 Octura. A 642 puts them at about 145* in the same time frame (not enough speed increase to justify cooking the packs either). Pack voltage is still above 11v per 3s pack. Most heat races are over in two minutes anyway. There's a couple of later vids on my page with more aggressive running.
I think the motor would handle the prop with no problem but don't know how the cat would react to that lifting prop since it's design is for use on a hydro.
I think most of your questions can be answered in my thread on RC Groups. I tried to post the link but it keeps giving an error when I do. Try searcjing for a thread titled "newbie lost". The Genesis starts on page 9
@bill34207 faster than this? Nice boat btw

@monstersouthside11 Don't know what you will get with a 1527 but the 1521 peaked out around 55 on 6s.

Hi can this Neu 1521 handle x447 prop size with 6s set up?

@Donng75 I think it can. I've run a X642 and M445 on it as well. It heats up the batteries pretty fasr with the bigger props though.

What adjustment did you do to eliminate the hopping, half way through the video ??
Thanks

@flyrc88 That was just a touch of up trim to the driveline angle.

Just finished building my Genesis and curious to know the rudder deflection and the CG.
Any assistance would be great !!
Thanks

@flyrc88 I never really checked it degree wise but would guesstimate around 30 degrees. CG is at 40% of the overall hull length.

My bad, the link to my website is actually on a later video. Go to my page and look for the one from August 14th. HobbyKing-Genesis

how much money have you put into that thing (Including the hull and original electronics, water pick up, etc.
oppisiteofafredfan 1 year ago
@oppisiteofafredfan I try not to think about it, but would guess there's around 600-650.

What kind of run times do you get with the batteries you stated you are using?
