Revolt 30 By Aquacraft

Wow! This boat thing has become a passion! I have always loved planes and I still do but RC boating is a nice change of pace. So on that line I recently purchased the Revolt 30. By Aquacraft. I am not going to write a review about it because you would probably hear the same things that have already been written about this boat. That's the reason why I bought this boat. Great reviews throughout the internet. I have to say I have yet to maiden this great machine. But hopefully this week I'll be able to get it on the water. As always here are some pics. Come back soon as I will post videos and additional info about the boat.

Predator Outrigger Maiden

OK, So this weekend I got out my Predator outrigger to the pond. This thing is wicked! My fun was cut short though with a completely fried/destroyed ESC. I had never seen anything like this. The solder literally melted and capacitors just fell to the bottom of the boat. I had a 40 amp ESC with no cooling at all which proved destructive. Actually my boat almost caught fire. The bottom and top of the hatch burned. Here's a frame from one of the video I took of the Predator coming out the hole.

I only used a 3000KV BL motor. The battery is a Turnigy 2200 Mah 45-90C 3S. I do already have a new water cooled ESC, it is a 60 amp ESC. This should do the trick.

Predator Outrigger Update

I've been working on my Predator. It's painted and ready to install all the hardware in it. I am still waiting for the shaft bracket to arrive. As soon as that come in the mail, it will be finished. Here's a pic of the latest work done on it.
