I was wondering of making my Revolt 6s,thought of getting seaking 120 or 180esc,..what C rating 6s lipo can I use,...can a low 35c work?

kennethfunk

I'm asking about the 35c because I already ordered a 6s 6200 35c battery a little too quickly before checking the c rating

i don,t know the hull in question but a 35c - 6 s lipo is ok for most motors plus i think you should use the 180 esc.

ok,it's for the Aquacraft revolt 30..: )

That battery should be ok, I have run the aquacraft 1800 on 6s without any heat issues, the motor and motor wires was room temperature on the run with the stock 4255 grim racer prop and this was with the grimracer 4200 30c cells, but that's my experience, I would hope you have the same fortune as me.

Thanks Patrick 125 and crapshooter,I got the Seaking 120a because I couldn't wait to save extra money for the 180,lol,hope it does good,will get the 180 if need too,..got a Floureon 6s 6200 36c,and cut v-shape and added pads to new Vegas Deuce stand,and extra water pickup for esc

I have seen the seaking 120 on 6s in a revolt before, that was an eye catching experience. I think if you stick with the grimracer 4255 or lets say an octura x442 on 6s it might work out. I have run the aquacraft 1800 on 6s with the 4255 and the motor, motor connectors didn't seem to get any warmer than when I connect the battery to send it out. Once the connectors or properly soldered on everything it should workout.

Thanks,I will solder 5.5 bullets on the Seaking 120a esc going to battery,esc and program card are getting here tomorrow,Friday 24th,so looking forward to getting everything set up and do a test run Saturday,I will keep using the 4255 prop,I will make videos of runs on 4s and 6s to show differences,then put them on my YouTube channel and post vid links

Kenneth, how sharp are the turn fins and rudder leading edge on the Revolt hull ? make them nice and sharp if there not yet.

kennethfunk

Thanks,they are close to sharp,but can be a lot sharper,I will sharpen them!!!

Just finished 6s with Seaking 120a build,and test ran it,running great!..i couldn't go full speed because the area by my dock is crowded with other docks from lake so low,but could really tell the added horses under the hood: )

I run 2 3s = 6s on my Revolt 30 with a 120 esc on the 1800 motor with m447 prop. Runs between 53 and 55 mph on gps. Added a little weight in the nose. Its a blast.

kennethfunk

That's fast revoltflash!!!...I just test ran it today at the dock where I work,I made a video with my gopro,had it on headstrap which was a slight bit slanted,good test video,I only got it to a little less than 3/4 throttle for a second because I didn't want to flip it,didn't have my jet ski for back up,plus just checking the trim setting and if nose is too light or heavy,found info to raise turn fins up and a little back to help make less chine walk,will try that out this weekend,and just got my gps speed meter today for next video: ).....https://youtu.be/AkQSehrUPwU
