"Rooski thanks for the thorough input it helps alot. I have been looking at my wiring diagrams and i am figuring it out. I have another question. the esc that i have is a tekin tsc432m water cooled with a forward current rating of 300 amps. "

I can only assume that is a peak amp rating and a really high one at that. Should be fine.


"i hooked up the wires to my voltmeter and hit a huge problem. The positive and negative on the battery are peaking on the meter on a ten volt scale using one 7.2volt battery. However the problem is that the positive and negative going to the motor are dead. It has a drop solder fuse and it is intact never blown. i have never used the thing and i am pissed cause i dont know what the heck to do. any ideas?"

I'm not sure what you are saying. A 7.2 v battery pack (6 1.2v cells) will usually peak around 8.5v if you have decent cells. No idea why it would showing 10v...are you sure about your readings? Also, are you saying that the battery appears to be fully charged (did you charge it recently?) but when you hook it up to the motor nothing happens? Are you going straight from the battery to the motors or thru the ESC?


"Also the motor mount is something i would rather buy than make if it only costs six dollars cause i want it to be right. I don't understand what OE means and where i can get one thanks again for the thorough input u really know ur stuff

OE = offshoreelectrics.com ....and you're welcome


P.S. im never sellin this boat man it has sentimental value and i know i can build it. Besides i think its one of the best lookin electrics ive ever seen. Dont worry im not gonna give up

I totally agree...it is a beautiful boat. I only wish someone made it in a real fiberglass hull. The thin ABS plastic is problematic. It's flexy which costs you speed and it's easily cracked so be careful with it. Also, if you ever swith out the stock outdrive for racing hardware you will need to really strengthen the transom (an ABS sheet cut to size on the outside and one on the inside) or otherwise the hardware could be too much for the plastic and simply break off.

Keep us posted.
