BBY Volcanic Splash
Bandit Hydro
BBY Volcanic Splash | BBY Volcanic Splash | This was my second Hydro and is just a blast to run. This is a kit boat where you have to join the deck and hull together. I learned a lot about building boats from this one, both from doing, asking on Rum Runner Racing and at BBY. I have run several different motors in this boat but to date they have all been 6-cell 05 motors. I have run a Fantom 12X3 D4 base, Reedy Ti "Titanium" 12X2 and most currently an Epic Binary 12X2. There are been small changes in performance with each of these, I need to prop up one size with the Epic to see how it handles the increased load. I did run the boat with a X632 on a Trinity D3.5 and the motor had a complete end bell meltdown, to the point that solder flowed. This was before I learned about brush cooling which all my motors now have Below are some pictures and videos of it in action. | | Setup | | Motor | Epic Binary 12X2 | | ESC | Tekin GIII Plus | | Hardware | BBY | | Servo | Hitec | | Receiver | Novak XXL FM | | Prop | Octura X432 | | Batteries | 6 Cells | | Misc | |
