Default RE: brushless apache 24 help needed.

Hi thanks
The rudder has the water pick up in it and it sprays out pretty good i see it spraying about 6 inches out the side of the hull.
the esc don't get hot and the motor is a 13.5 it's not to hot of a motor.
It don't seem that fast for what it is.... I think a smaller prop may let the RPMs of the moter reach full rpm and it may go faster.
If i angle the prop down some won't this make the hull ride wet and go slower?

THANKS

Here is what i see....................looks like you're using a rudder type water pickup.............they never have given me enough flow volumn, so i never use them, i use transom mount pickups. Is your discharge stream good or a dribble? 89 degree readings on an esc are almost unheard of.....that is very low. If you are overpropped / over kv'd your ESC should be smokin hot. I dont think the prop is too big.................and i think using a 35 amp esc on a 3300kv 540 motor is not sufficient.............so it should be hot. Have you tried adjusting your prop angle down some?
