Hey guys, here's my project i've been working on. I am ready to unveil it, and actually posted the info in another thread for a member who was interested in doing the same...........but this is my "official" posting. I just got back in from taking my newly modded Villain IV out for its initial test run. I have tried three different setups, all not to my liking or they just didnt work. I originally had two titans, one fried; then Dual brushless with homemade straight shafts and rudder..........good intentions but way too squirelly, then to "Titan killer" motors, great motors but one got hot for some reason, maybe binding in shaft???.... fried it,. Anyways...............to me the Villain has the best hull for handling rough water and it looks great and is a great size. I was sick of the "dual" this and "dual" that, and my gosh what a weight hog......it must have been 10 pounds ready to go. SO...........i took one drive system, put it in the middle, cut all the uneccesary weight (even the servo/reciever platform went), and installed a Castle 4600kv Mamba Motor that i had. I had to carefully consider that gearing and prop size due to the high kv motor. I went with 28 tooth spur (stock) and a 10 tooth pinion (down from the stock 14). I added an Octura x445 (down from stock plastic 447) It is SO light, and runs alot faster than the original setup could ever go. I am very happy with it. I'm running a 110 amp Scorpion 4s esc and am using a 4000mah 3s lipo. It is simplicity at its best in my opinion. Check the pics for how "uncluttered" and simple it all is..........also note the two cooling coils on the motor, each with its own pickup for "super" cooling. I am planning on leaving it alone and just enjoying running it........unless there is helpful advice offered........its very fast, probably 35-ish. Any comments are certainly welcomed.................................
