Thats ace Neal... I wish you'd kept recording though so we could see the rescue mission! Maybe an air rescue with your quad copter!lol

Ha, Danny did suggest the quad, but i suggested he take a swim ;-)

5 min wait, and it drifted to the side. Need a second boat to send out as a rescue tug, which will speed things up.

I've got a Blackjack29, but only run 4s but with a bigger X445 cnc'd prop, I would be very careful running 6s, the ESC is rated to that voltage but the motor isn't

Ah good to know. Motor wasn't hot at all after the runs, but the 3S batteries and deans connectors/wires were warm.
Warmer were my 2wd buggy 2S 65C packs.

Interested in more details on the prop. Have you swapped your motor?
