I've just scored a 56" viper mono for only $150 delivered and after my recent experience with the 1717 pushing the heavy, incorrectly set up rescue craft up on a plane, I figure it'll make a nice set up to run with a few of the guy's running gasser's at the res.
My (20minute) thought is to bolt a 1717 1580kv motor on a hyper outboard leg http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=hpi-3.5-bullet-outboard , depending on weight issue's, I'll run a 240 amp speedo and either 6s2p or 6s4p. It'll be a sport boat for fun and giggles, not hair raising thrill's that have my heart racing until the inevitable crash a few minutes into my run, I'm over that.
Here's a pic of the hull and the motor that's fitted to a pro boat leg.
the pic of the hull is off the sales thread.
a little more thought now, it'll be a twin, two of these outboard set up's. I might stick a single on the DF41 I've been floating around to get some experience before I get into this build. I might get the self righting, hull reinforcement and painting done soon though.
mate if you are going to use a 1717 get the 7.5 size hyperformance leg. It will handle the power much better. Buy direct from http://www.hyperprod.bizhosting.com/
Only the toys bud, Try selling cf race boats with lehner motors... never happen .. Nah just concentrating on the saw stuff now,but will always keep steves eb rigger.. Actually just got a 1527 to try out in it..
Wait till you see my shocker.. Twin 2028 12s good for over 100mph.... With some of Bens fightercat 300amp esc's..just working on keeping it planted now... Likes the sky lol
well I've ended my dilemma, called Hobby Supplies and ordered the Rcmk 52cc twin and a few other goodies. I hope to see it on Tuesday so this weekend has to be spent finishing my 42 cat. Close this thread if you like as not even the title is correct, sorry and thanks for the advise.
I think I might need a few tip's once I get the engine before I go thinking too hard about it's full potential but geez this will be FUN!
I'll post a dummie install pic on Tuesday after it get's here.
I was in the shed toying around just now and have realised that way back in my first post I think I may have rambled on about always wanting a gas rc boat and how after going brushless with my monster truck, I'd been converted, well, I guess not. I've decided to go all out on this one so I'm going to sell a couple of boats and other toy's to fund the build. I have an opportunity here to build something I've always dreamt of having and it'll be another bomber boat, this time for me.
thanks LD, I'll check it out and think about it until I've seen the motor in the boat. This one's going to get me back on the Murray. I think I'll get a wrap done of "Hellrazor", I had a look last night and the hull looks a bit like it.
Dude any thing you want in CF..... If your heart is set on twns ( as we all are lol ) gotta get it ported right..... TS can deliver 8 hp for half the weight.... Lehner can do twice that but need to multiply by 3 for esc and lipo's....... Cant beat 100mph.....
Put a pic up on here so we know what your talking about!
