95mph in my DY motors animal cat. 2 OSE Raiders. 4074 rockets 1900kv. They were supposed to be temporary till my ZTWs came in. But they perform so well I just left it in.
NEW BOAT!!! NEW BOAT!!! See grown man shake his booty pump hands in the air. I believe you must have shown great restrain when kayaker paved his road to hell. However, once again a great video-boy the 29 was moving out plane and simple-love it! I bought the BJ 24 hull and hatch only appoxyed
Epoxied some thin wood to the inner hull and used that same motor mount. I really dig your progression from stock to wholly modified rc boats keep it up Big B 👍
I try to show the good days the bad days and the fantastic days you know! And hopefully some of my viewers and subscribers can learn from my trials and tribulations.
Thank you brother I'm learning how it all works right now once I figure everything out and get together some extra features I can offer I will announce the membership program
The 90 ose is a boss little speed control with the right motor. I've actually soldered up a 150 cap pack on my 90 flycolor & about to put a flow pack 4s cap on it.
@@IRONCLADRC my solder skills need a lil work use to play with drag slot cars back in the day building chassis and such but I used a mini torch not a iron afraid of a torch with insulated wires for the most part, anyway love your feedback and interaction with your subs ,peace.
Really appreciate all the update videos for the veles. It’s been helping me with mine. This is my first boat and I was wondering if I run the Veles with no plastic stuffing tube, will that create any problems for the esc/motor?
If you run no Teflon linner you'll need to upgrade the size cable to .187 flex 3/16 shaft. The stock cable needs a Teflon liner (it's a must) OSE has a HD upgrade cable for the veles
Hey buddy sorry to hear about the bad luck. Quick question I noticed that the stuffing tub retaining clamp inside the Velez was gone. Is there a reason for that or did you forget to put it back?
Top speed 150 flycolor(ose raider)in my 30 inch rigger 6s 5000 mah 79.6 mph Then sunk it, lost in 26 foot of water gps gone too.temps on previous run when I got the speed, 150 on built in Caps,130 on everything else. Unlike the raider the flycolor has no extra caps.
That sucks. Don't feel too bad. My U76 hydroplanes new futaba reciever got wet and I had it in a nitrile glove finger sealed in a old school sealed radio box. Loose money. 😒
that sucks about the tug boat. I have a question. I have the Veles 29 and looking to go faster. would a bigger esc make me faster? me and my buddy run 5S and im trying to go faster. im on a stock Veles 29. thanks for the videos, great work and SMC batteries ROCK!
Yeah I ran a 150 ose Raider in mine and definitely could tell a difference in speed and temp, 42 high rake from oxidean is BOSS on the veles abc 1616 17/45 is BOSS
@jacobe.2119 There are better, more expensive esc options, but that raider worked. Consider a dual pickup veles ruder to help cool things down from ose www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ose-83358&PARTNER=ironclad
You mentioned something about the wheelhouse yesterday. Man, that sucks. I've had boats where things weren't securely mechanically attached and I used lanyards to keep parts attached "Just In Case", but who would have thought about the magnetically-attached wheelhouse coming off in a boat that does 5 Knots? My only thought is could your connection with HH & ProBoat help you out?
A lanyard would of been better than my foam grrrrrr. There's like 6 magnets that holds the cabin on the boat there strong & do the job but any type of side impact will knock the wheel house off dang wish I'd thought about a lanyard. Jeez. Day late dollar short
BigB, If it was clear-shallow water, throw on a mask and snorkel... Maybe put a sonar on your kayak? Big B, pay the $80 and fab an fpv tower, yes it hurts, but alot of years ahead on that beautiful tug
What kind of a hole mess with a roll over boat that is being recovered with another boat. And what the F the bottom wheelhouse you can get but not the top part. That F ed up YO! But I appreciate all the people on the water that help when you don't have a recovery boat.
It's weird right they should sell the whole wheel house complete. And yes I'd lost a couple boats with out the help of a boater on the river. Watching a boat float away out of sight is scary
Sorry for your loss Big B. Great video though. I lost my stock prop last week and have been waiting for replacements from OSE until today. Wanted to ask, what happens when the motor overheats? Does it stop working, make it run badly, or slower? What are the signs of an overheated motor?
Alot of time just over heating the motor you can't really tell any differences extreme over heat over 190°f will burn the stater winds ( usually when this happens you'll see smoke) burning the copper winds you can see a change in the color of copper winds in the motor
I've used super glue, but recently I've found that silicone on both ends holds the tube inplace pretty good. (Only on the ends) heat will help if you need to remove the Teflon liner
@@IRONCLADRC A dead simple remedy for a spinning liner is to rap some ptfe plumbers tape around the liner in 3 or 4 places along the liner. Rap the tape with enough thickness to make the liner a nice tightish slide in fit into the stuffing tube, been using this method for years & never had a liner spin since.
Ran the veles 29 today, still on 4s, during the hurricane I installed duel cooling, larger lines and rcbb rudder. Temps never went over 113 degrees. On the stock setup, I hit a high of 175!. So tell me, does duel cooling rudder and larger lines work? Yes! I'll be running 6s tomorrow, and checking Temps frequently.
@@IRONCLADRC yeah sometimes help isn't really help at all but you took it like a champ and kept your composure. That makes you a winner no matter what.
#ftg on the kayak....i get he was tryin to do right for ya but damn...seein ya got it covered he shoulda backed off...and bailed out his kayak after that wheelhouse! I literally just put a raider 150 in a buddys veles...3d printed a mount to bolt into factory spot cuz i didnt wanna hack his brand new boat up
It was a big Job, I had to get up the nerve to chop up a perfectly good boat LOL. Eventually I'm gonna remove the whole electronics tray Eventually.time allowing
I had another bad day today lol. 2 boat went in thankfully I got both boats back, little problems that prevented me from finishing the runs. Grrrrrrrrrr
I see that I'm not the only one who has a bad day last Wednesday I smoked my motor and puffed up my battery in my mg36 but I got 80mph before it did it
I've ran 63Mph with the flycolor/OSE 150 ESC. But the boat isn't running properly.... My goal is 90 ish too :) If I get the boat running properly and get some new props to try out I think it is doable.
@@IRONCLADRC I hope it still counts if it was two. Lol I have them in a TFL Zonda and they're awesome. Can run 80 mph laps all day and they don't break a sweat.
Look at the bottom of the boat, there's 3 ride surfaces and 2 steps, 1/2"- 1" behind the forward ride surface forward step is where I usually ran my Cg
Yea 81 mph with the 2 blade abc prop, I've tried a couple little mods on my prop that has not worked as I thought it would ? So I've been slowly reworking the prop trying to regain my lost performance
No I have not tried any bigger props than that 1616, I've run the 1716 on it but that was before I've done the low center gravity modifications to the boat so probably try the 1716 or 1816 here shortly, should be able to keep the boat on the water hopefully with that extra power & Weight
I Clicked the link for the motor and it has a few option for the KV. Can you please tell me which one to get for running 6s? And as always awesome Video Big B.
3660 1800kv or 2150kv, the 2150 would be the faster of the 2 choices BUT Temps on 6s would be hot and you'd have HAVE to run smaller props. The 1800 kv would be a better choice so you can turn a larger prop without issue, wouldn't get good top end speed with small props, bigger props with the lower kv motor. What are you building your boat to do? Ovals or speed runs?
@@IRONCLADRC speed runs. I’ve ironclad my Veles 29 ose150 Esc I have a leopard K2 4070 1750kv that I was going to put in my ul19 but put it in the Veles.

Yea man it's definitely a freaking bummer, he had good intentions, but the wheel house I'd impossible to find. The cabin is available but not the wheel house
@@IRONCLADRC That's really crappy not to have spares available. Look forward to seeing how your home made one turns out once you've done it. I'm just building a Billings Banckert model Tug as a small rescue, then I have a model slipways Wyeforce model as a scale longer term build rescue that is much bigger and more powerful. Gonna also put FPV on those just like you did.
If it were a complete wheel house then yes I probably would but it's just the base of the cabin with out a wheel house. Gonna build an ironclad wheel house

Sorry to hear about the tugboat,what happened to the pool noodle and plane prop boat retreval thing?
The pool noodle retrieval boat was my buddy's boat, not mine. Awesome build 👌
Hi , I wouldn't cut the hull structure , I would remove the motor mounts and would use 2mm carbon fiber board to mount the platforom for everything .
Planning on reinforcing the hull once I remove the rest of the electronics tray.

Hello would a sss 4092 with a hydro esc fit in the veles ?
Yea, but the stock motor mount will need a forward motor mount ring for additional support or upgrade the motor mount/electrics tray.

What all do I need to install the 4074 in my Veles
Not much, I guess you'll need a water jacket, and connectors, I recommend upgrading the esc.
U have a problem with heat? I have no idea why my set up is too hot. Sss4082 2400 kv flycolor 150a esc 42mm prop smc 6s .

I Gree with Jayce, that motor maybe pulling more amps than the esc is putting out continuous.
@@IRONCLADRC I run a 4082 1600 kv on a 180 and rarely see temps above 110 in the summer heat
