I have one of these and now super bored of 4S! Theres a few of us with boats, all of which hitting 50- 70mph.. so i need to upgrade my sr80 pro. I already have 6S 5000mah batteries, out of all the motors youve tried is there any preffered? Any additional mods needed or just bolt to existing mount? Thanks :)
Hi,70mph is extremely fast for 4s lipo in a Vector SR80PRO..I've only got 118kph using a left prop upgrade from the new miss GEICO RC boat running a Turnigy XK 3674 2200kv motor..If you look through my vids you'll see one with that motor and the subtitles,if you upgrade the strut you'll need to use Rcboatbitz genesis upgrade strut from rcboatbitz.com also trim fins from a Feilun FT011..I use 3000mah Panthers.The SSS 4082 2600kv motor on 6s is faster and you'll need to add a motor mount at the rear of the motor as the stock motor mount will rip out..if you need more info just ask,I've had others ask and do upgrades but they couldn't get the handling as they didn't buy the Black plastic FT011 turn fins and Rcboatbitz genesis upgrade strut,also I don't think 5000mah 6s fits into SR80 Pro hits the lid
@@paulcooper7162 the 70 mph was with a TFL pursuit, i gps the vector at 37mph stock this weekend so need the change haha. Will try my 6s battery in the hull later and see it for size. As for strut how come you upgraded? As the stock strut is 5mm so should be plenty enough for 6S?
@@jordyfpv316 The stock strut is 5mm but the cable is only 4mm it will perish with a decent 6s system..When I buy a new Vector SR80 Pro I sell the esc and strut cable etc and out that money for a stronger 4 76mm 3/16 system,3674 2200KV motor is nice with flycolor 150A ESC I have a vid there
Heya Paul. Long time no chat. I have been away commercial fishing but I'm back in town looking to upgrade my sr80 pro with the genesis upgrade strut. I want to order the parts but I wanted to ask if you thought the 300mm long stuffing tube that comes in the genesis upgrade strut kit is long enough to work with the sr80 pro. I think my stock tube is around 275mm but it does not reach all the way back to the stock strut.. I imagine the upgrade strut will require the stuffing tube to reach out to it. I can just order parts separately and get a longer tube if required.. Seeing as u have done the mods I thought u might know. I'm currently a few days away from being back at my boat but I would like to place an order from rcboatbitz asap if I can get some solid info from you. Thanks man! Cale
Hi 😊👍 good to hear from you.. Yes brass stuffing tube and new teflon tube needs to be long enough to fit right up into the Rcboatbitz genesis upgrade strut so order the tube from RC boatbitz probably go for a 400mm..Do not buy the Rcboatbitz 4.76mm flex cable I've had 2 recent and both vibrated terribly and visually out.I get mine from AliExpress brass welded From Tilkiea model Store using Caniano shipping for special goods much quicker
Thanks for the quick reply! Any advice on a good propeller for a 4074 2250 kv on 6s? I'm thinking of trying a 1.9p. I currently have a 43mm 1.6p but have not tried it with this motor and it's been modified to 5mm so it's no good for the new 3/16 shaft... Last but not least. Do u know the size of the bushings in the genesis upgrade strut? I'm looking to order replacement bushings at the same time as I order all the other parts.. If you don't know I may just order two upgrade struts to keep me boating until I can figure out the bushing size for myself. Thanks again!
@@frasermarine1495 Not a problem I was on TH-cam ..I think a 1.4p is good cause they use less amp draw and are quicker 43mm..I'd still fit that 5mm prop should be fine.Genesis upgrade strut bushings 4.76mm
Hi Paul. It's more the outside diameter and length of the bushings that I'm looking for. I'm also looking at a 520mm cable with a 90mm stub? I believe it's a "left" cable that's required? Thanks again for all your help!
@@frasermarine1495 Yes left cable,positive also. I'm not sure I just fit the cable and then to the boat,the bushing are quite a way inside the entry of the strut where tube goes in plenty of length to support the tube.90mm is perfect..I will put a wee vid up for you in 5mins showing the strut and cable
😊👍..trippin for sure I wasnt happy with the course couldn't give it to it for long in the middle will try another area further down the river..Thanks for watching 👍😊😎
Hi... Question... How big is the inner diameter (the hole size) will fit the Volantex SR80 PRO? I WANT TO UPGRADE THE Propeller, using stock drive shaft. Thanks.
Hi😊 The motor bolts into the stock mount perfectly but you need to add another mount at the end of the motor with a 40mm motor mount ring holder and a mount that glues to the floor,need to then if running 6s replace the cable,tube and strut ,ESC,trim fins

Happy Racing Watch the Rocks !!!!
Very fast 💯, another great video from you 👍. What next step, TP4050 8S 😄?
Haha😊👍😎..oh no same setup but will try it at high tide at the estuary wid open clear water
Way over powered.
I agree. I couldn't give it full power all the time
No fun if you can run full power all the time.
@@tangotango429 yes .I need a bigger area to run this..I have new boat arriving I will fit the same electronics and find a lake
Did you change the servo?
No but the stock one can malfunction if water gets in
great, faster than some gasoline boats.
Thankyou👍😊..I'd love to own a gasoline boat🚤💨
What if using 120A for this 4082 motor?
ESC will cut out or fry quickly,I use capbanks on 150A ESC or it would fry on this motor
Sir,.what is your esc and what is the amp.
Hi 😊 ESC is flycolor 150A and I soldered 63volt capacitor banks 470uf x 4 onto the negative positive wires on ESC,capbank from offshoreelectrics ,Hefei 63volt
Sir,.,the tiflon tube is fix into stainless tube or not?
I replaced the stock stainless tube with brass tube and new teflon tube to fit 4.76mm flex cable.
@@paulcooper7162,.,but the tiflon tube before it fix or not sir in new sr80 pro.
@@raularizo1774 You can remove the stock teflon tube from the stainless steel tube.The stock teflon tube won't fit 4.76mm flex cable.New teflon tube for 4.76mm flex cable won't fit into the stock stainless steel tube

@@raularizo8637 You need to buy the new brass tube with the teflon line already inside and to fit 4.76mm flexcable
I have one of these and now super bored of 4S! Theres a few of us with boats, all of which hitting 50- 70mph.. so i need to upgrade my sr80 pro. I already have 6S 5000mah batteries, out of all the motors youve tried is there any preffered? Any additional mods needed or just bolt to existing mount? Thanks :)
Hi,70mph is extremely fast for 4s lipo in a Vector SR80PRO..I've only got 118kph using a left prop upgrade from the new miss GEICO RC boat running a Turnigy XK 3674 2200kv motor..If you look through my vids you'll see one with that motor and the subtitles,if you upgrade the strut you'll need to use Rcboatbitz genesis upgrade strut from rcboatbitz.com also trim fins from a Feilun FT011..I use 3000mah Panthers.The SSS 4082 2600kv motor on 6s is faster and you'll need to add a motor mount at the rear of the motor as the stock motor mount will rip out..if you need more info just ask,I've had others ask and do upgrades but they couldn't get the handling as they didn't buy the Black plastic FT011 turn fins and Rcboatbitz genesis upgrade strut,also I don't think 5000mah 6s fits into SR80 Pro hits the lid
@@paulcooper7162 the 70 mph was with a TFL pursuit, i gps the vector at 37mph stock this weekend so need the change haha. Will try my 6s battery in the hull later and see it for size. As for strut how come you upgraded? As the stock strut is 5mm so should be plenty enough for 6S?
@@jordyfpv316 The stock strut is 5mm but the cable is only 4mm it will perish with a decent 6s system..When I buy a new Vector SR80 Pro I sell the esc and strut cable etc and out that money for a stronger 4 76mm 3/16 system,3674 2200KV motor is nice with flycolor 150A ESC I have a vid there
👌👍Sweet
Thanks Glenn 😊👍..I se our boat pond is darker again blocked up with algie

Heya Paul. Long time no chat. I have been away commercial fishing but I'm back in town looking to upgrade my sr80 pro with the genesis upgrade strut. I want to order the parts but I wanted to ask if you thought the 300mm long stuffing tube that comes in the genesis upgrade strut kit is long enough to work with the sr80 pro. I think my stock tube is around 275mm but it does not reach all the way back to the stock strut.. I imagine the upgrade strut will require the stuffing tube to reach out to it.
I can just order parts separately and get a longer tube if required..
Seeing as u have done the mods I thought u might know.
I'm currently a few days away from being back at my boat but I would like to place an order from rcboatbitz asap if I can get some solid info from you.
Thanks man!
Cale
Hi 😊👍 good to hear from you..
Yes brass stuffing tube and new teflon tube needs to be long enough to fit right up into the Rcboatbitz genesis upgrade strut so order the tube from RC boatbitz probably go for a 400mm..Do not buy the Rcboatbitz 4.76mm flex cable I've had 2 recent and both vibrated terribly and visually out.I get mine from AliExpress brass welded From Tilkiea model Store using Caniano shipping for special goods much quicker
Thanks for the quick reply!
Any advice on a good propeller for a 4074 2250 kv on 6s? I'm thinking of trying a 1.9p. I currently have a 43mm 1.6p but have not tried it with this motor and it's been modified to 5mm so it's no good for the new 3/16 shaft...
Last but not least. Do u know the size of the bushings in the genesis upgrade strut? I'm looking to order replacement bushings at the same time as I order all the other parts.. If you don't know I may just order two upgrade struts to keep me boating until I can figure out the bushing size for myself.
Thanks again!
@@frasermarine1495 Not a problem I was on TH-cam ..I think a 1.4p is good cause they use less amp draw and are quicker 43mm..I'd still fit that 5mm prop should be fine.Genesis upgrade strut bushings 4.76mm
Hi Paul. It's more the outside diameter and length of the bushings that I'm looking for.
I'm also looking at a 520mm cable with a 90mm stub?
I believe it's a "left" cable that's required?
Thanks again for all your help!
@@frasermarine1495 Yes left cable,positive also.
I'm not sure I just fit the cable and then to the boat,the bushing are quite a way inside the entry of the strut where tube goes in plenty of length to support the tube.90mm is perfect..I will put a wee vid up for you in 5mins showing the strut and cable
Damm Paul that is rippin and trippin.
😊👍..trippin for sure I wasnt happy with the course couldn't give it to it for long in the middle will try another area further down the river..Thanks for watching 👍😊😎
Hi... Question...
How big is the inner diameter (the hole size) will fit the Volantex SR80 PRO? I WANT TO UPGRADE THE Propeller, using stock drive shaft. Thanks.
Hi the stock prop is 5mm hole so buy a 4.76mm prop and drill the hole with a 5mm drill
Bro how to you install this motor?
Hi😊 The motor bolts into the stock mount perfectly but you need to add another mount at the end of the motor with a 40mm motor mount ring holder and a mount that glues to the floor,need to then if running 6s replace the cable,tube and strut ,ESC,trim fins
would the stock motor handle dual batteries 4s?
The motor can run 4s or 5s
What tp motor is that and where can I get one
It's not a TP motor is just the cooler,the motor is SSS 4082 2600KV 6S 42MM prop or use with 5s 45mm prop
holy shit!! fast af!
Thankyou 😊👍
did you put a 6s on it
Hi Ethan yes for sure 6s
Is that dual 4s Lipo?btw great video dude
Thanks Julius😊👍..I'm running 2 X 3s lipos = 6sa
Hey dude ! Do the sr80 and sr80 pro use the same prop shaft ? As gonna get the sr80 but just wanna buy a metal prop, as not too sure on dimensions I just be able to search for a sr80 pro prop to buy instead of a 3rd party brand 😂 thankyou dude appreciate it if ya get to me 🔥💯
Hi😊👍..I went to AliExpress and asked Vector SR80 Pro parts and the flex cable shaft and prop is there cheap or type in 798-4p

Paul Cooper 🤣 you ain’t lying about that! Something about getting these little boats to go fast is just awesome 👍 Seems like the river/stream you’re running on is very low! If that boat dove down it would be in some trouble
@@nicholasadams9954 yes it's low when it rains this river gets ferocious bank to bank
Hey Paul I’ve been doing a bunch of research and this is the boat I’m going to finally purchase. What upgrades do you recommend right away to get her ripping ? 🙌🏽😁
@@nicholasadams9954 Hi Nicholas..I've written the specs in the Subtitles..can run 4s with a decent 45mm prop or 6s with a 42mm prop..to be honest I tried 4s with a bigger Octura M545 prop and it was near as quick
Your video title says "world's fastest", what kind of GPS numbers are you recording? Certainly all the go-fast components are in place. Wish you had a better place to run...always an issue. Cheers!
I often put world's fastest 😊 I couldn't fully stretch it's legs here because the boat fly's if it hits its own wake I was cutting the acceleration at mid way.Ive tried gps was over 120kph in the pursuit.This boat smashed into the rocks next run it's no longer with me but I got a new one
