YPC Fast Electric rc Outboards - Early morning F1 FunRun on Knysna Lagoon

Описание: ⚡ Early Morning Tuning Session – Progress & Discovery ⚡

Got down to the water’s edge early this morning — just before the predicted wind picked up — to squeeze out the last few amps left in the lipo from yesterday’s bumpy session. I’m really pleased with how the setup is coming together. Running a 35% CG and, for the first time ever, a slightly positive trim on the ENIGMA leg is proving to deliver a great balance of speed, agility, and total predictability. It’s feeling very race ready.

Unfortunately — but also fortunately — the 3-phase power lead failed yet again. The upside is, I’ve now isolated the issue: it seems the center phase wire from the motor is the culprit, likely due to that coil drawing extra amps and running hotter than the others. The motor’s had a solid run (it’s been powering one of my Bro RC Surfers for quite some time), so it’s probably time to retire it and drop in a fresh one.

The good news — everything else feels dialed in. The hull balance, thrust line, and handling are exactly where I want them. With a new motor fitted and a shipment of props from TFL arriving next week, I’m excited to start experimenting with prop selection and preference to really fine-tune the performance.

Progress is progress — and every test brings us one step closer to perfection! 💪
