12s disaster and smoke! ZTW G2 160a HV went into flames and took motor ProBoat Super SonicWake 48"
Run made 89kmh! :)
I am no rookie on those ZTW esc fails... see what happen to me in the past decade...
• ZTW 220a esc Startup, ...
That's it...
Now it's going to be also stock motor 4685 950kv but with a 300a Hobbywing esc....

Whoa, that thing rips! I bet that really stunk when you took the lid off. Sucks that she cooked, but sometimes it's just how it goes.

[@TargetingXmod_RC]

@@xxnuclearss1xx It smelled badly and still smells after a clean up sitting on the garage waiting for the new esc and motor 🤣

[@Junkitup]

That was fun while it lasted, woops she runs again

[@TargetingXmod_RC]

@@Junkitup Lasted around almost 4 to 6 months on 12s...can't remenber. But sure will run again 👍

[@RDM-RC]

Viva Portugal!!!

[@TargetingXmod_RC]

Thanks! Besides the smoke....it will run again! :)

[@RDM-RC]

@@TargetingXmod_RC Yea its part of the hobby!! Thanks for the video!

[@VetteWay2Fast]

Dang that’s a bummer man, stinks when the cooling line gets clogged. Just ran mine on 12s, definitely wakes it up lol

[@TargetingXmod_RC]

Yes sir! Thanks!

Try the new seaking 300a it rips any hw is pretty good better protection than castle.

[@TargetingXmod_RC]

@@mcsbikelife3829 Castle is very good in the LVC department, also a world reference. It reads any cell voltage from 5s or 7s and HW does not read well 5s in any esc...either car or boat! And i bought the 12s ZTW a few months ago cause there were no those new 300a or 200a esc's. The ZTW is the worst esc for LVC readings...top Castle then HW then ZTW....the HW 12s now that they exist...its one of them coming to this boat....Castle Creations are very strong esc's but do not have 12s for cars or rc boats....the Cremations history is most of the times user error. My experience 😁

[@mcsbikelife3829]

@ nope , I’m an electro tech for a living. I also never said the castle is bad , I said the new seaking is better . Way more protection and a better smoother running esc for less money . Who runs 5s? I’ve been in the hobby for 30 years and never used 5s now with new seaking I will be buying the new 7s batteries and gens ace charger. No matter how you cut it the hw is a better esc . I also own both multiples of both

[@TargetingXmod_RC]

@mcsbikelife3829 Those new HW the 200a and 300A i can't speak for them cause i haven't got any. But soon will test them.... As for me 5s i run them on my cars and rc boats a lot. I have dozens close to 100 videos on 5s...some back to 10years ago! Can't wait to run again 12s on this one 48"hull 👍

[@Deezarehairy]

Smokes supposed too Stin In You got a problem there bud.

[@TargetingXmod_RC]

@@Deezarehairy After a good clean up the hull inside still smells like cooked eletronics...and motor and esc are 2 weeks off the hull ...and counting 💸😜

[@jamesatkinson7517]

Those ztw’s are a waste of money I have burnt 2 boats and 5 of the ztw’s from the shark up to the 200 g2 never again I now run the Castle creations hydra XL2s and a water cooling plate on the Hobby wing Ez Run max5 250 amp no more fires and you only spend your money once

[@TargetingXmod_RC]

I know! I experience that a decade ago, with a ZTW car esc...two 220a pluging a lipo went into flames...i made a video of that causa of warranty...but to no avail. Later 10 years passed...i wanted a rc boat esc 12s with BEC... so i went with this one...it worked OK...not good but ok....cause their LVC is very weird also...but to tell the truth this time it was my fault...one of the cooling lines was clooged...and only notice it at home on video! lol...Anyway good excuse now for the new HW 300A 14s ones with BEC! :P

[@xxnuclearss1xx]

​@@TargetingXmod_RC 14s will be awesome! Man that's a lot of juice
