ORIGINAL: ludakris308

Its all good ty all for ya help i have fixed the problemi kept the 3000kv went and got a 120a brushless water cooled esc a water jacket for the moter (large) added another water pick up at the back opposite the rudder to counter drag and added a water cooled collar to cool the front bearing rewired the batteries so its not a 22.2 v it is now wired as a 11.1 co jioned batteries for longer life as the esc will only now pick up that its an 11.1 v. have not yet touched the prop as the shop was closing and i wanted to test it and went down to the dam and run 2 sets of batteries through it after pulling in for the temp tests and to my amazment i could hold the back of my finger on the engine with no burn!!!!!!!! so i am happy to say that the only thing i will be doing to it now is proping it up as i have already hade thoughts of rewiring batterie connectons and buying2 x 7.4 v bats and running a 14.8 but have slaped myself in the face already as i have posted onto utube for you to have a look at the speed and performance and would like yous to get back to me plz on your thoughts!!! ty fellow rc>ers!!! luda...

Looks good
I sugested running your packs in paralell as you now are for better runtimes and lower volts..
I was not sure if the 3000kv motor would pull to many amps but now you have a bigger esc to help out, and that's good
keep an eye on temps when you prop up
do you know what size is on their now?
