Hi Tyler, Very nice info - it will help me a lot! When you water cool an Phoenix Edge Lite 200 - what parts do you use etc? I guess you upgrade them with the earlier mentioned caps - do you need any extra cap banks or just run the inboard ones? /Niklas

Hi Tyler, What esc's do you need to run with a Castle 1415 2400KV motor - is a 120/160A "enough" in real life racing? The average/normal amp draw Ive seen so far with the bigger Castle 1512 2650KV car motor is now around 110-140A on 100% throttle. Its peaking at 174A but that is a very, very...

Hi Tyler, Thanks for the feedback. Note, im an FE noobie and make no claim at knowing just about anything about electric boats. The Castle esc works very good and I really like the datalogging as it makes me learn. The earlier recorded max ripple, wattage, amp draw and rpm seems a bit...

Test run:

Current layout of my prototype FE-4S.

Test run 1 & 2 was with an AB 1445 with 3.3 cup and strut at "low" position. The trigger-feel was "rubber band" and yes, it was fast on wot but I could feel that it was slightly overloaded. But as I did not have a PC with me I could not read the CC logging so I safed it and raised the strut and...

The smallest I could find = An old Andy Brown 1445 with 3.1 cup...

Yes, batteries and motor is where I originally drew them. Nope, no pics as of yet - can fix that a bit later on...

We're back home after the worlds... To sum it up we did crap. The speed of my 3.5s and 7.5s was a bit too "high" vs the weather conditions. The air temps where around 32-38 deg C and the air quality very low (85 analog and over 1000 meters Density altitude on the Kestrel) - too much vs what...

Its the 1657 in this blog post Ive used the most: http://www.ne-stuff.net/2013/11/mark-sholund-45-props.html But Ive not done a lot of prop testing on the 45 so no idea how it handles any other prop then these two. So alternatives could be good...

And an even more windy 7.5 heat from our latest nats... But the prototype 45 runs a bit too light actually. In smooth water and very rough (as in this video) its hard to beat though - but it needs improvements in the "in-between" conditions.

Over the years Ive got some comments about the T2-21 cant handle rough water really well... Well this race video shows as rough as one can go boating in I think.

And a short one with my 45 also.

Hi Mark, We're leaving to Germany Thursday August 6. /Niklas

Busy "summer" here, even though its been a bit rainy and "cold" in Sweden. There is a Naviga World Champs shortly just 2 weeks away in Germany tho and we did some testing a couple if weeks ago on our home pond. Filmed a couple of runs. It's a bit too smooth water though as the worlds usually...

Very, very good run!

One of my FE-4S test rigs in building progress. Test in a month from now (hopefully).

Any of the Futaba low profile servos, like -> S9550, S9551, BLS551, BLS9570SV, BLS571SV & S9570SV (or simmilar). Any of those will do. Low profile makes it possible to mount the servo upright, as in much easier to service and mount the linkage rod etc.

As the front sponson ride pads are removeable - just add about 3/32 of width to the plywood pads (make different ones if you want to test). Also make the removeable ski with the same width increase if the CW balance (front to back) is the same as the nitro version. If you move the CW more...
