[porschefan911]

My boat's specs....its scratch built...

with all hardware....about 2-3 pounds
pike peak jaguar 19*2 motor
proboat esc
trimtabs
turnfis
23 inches long
7.5 inches wide
24 degree deep vee


whats the approximate speed?...i didnt put it on wter yet...waiting for the fiberglass to dry and put on the hardware

[ahab2]

i think At least 20mph.

[porschefan911]

cool...i was actually hoping for 20-25-30 mph :D ...now the trick is tto setup the boat faster and get out on water :D

[ahab2]

Youl have to pay for moe speed than stock, :( ....most of the time.

[porschefan911]

the boat is scratch built so it can't technicaLLY have a "stock" motor....what im gonna do is if this boat gonna be good i'll leave it like it is....make an all fiberglass hull out of it...(3 days max) and put iether a brushless systme in it, low turn motor or a nitro engine :cool: who noeS?

[Chris LaPanse]

Go BL over nitro-less work. With a BL, you might get 40-45 (if it is a good hull design)

[porschefan911]

um..this is electric...and anyways stop speaking rc language.. :confused: is there like a dictionary for thisd?

[BoatDoc]

let's see if we can clear up some of this "rc language" for you. BL is most likely brushless? right chris?? ...and about stock motors...that just refers to the type of motor. stock motors are 27 turn. yours is a 19 double...so it is not a stock motor. by the way, how many cells are you running? and what type?

[porschefan911]

8 cells....o-mono

[ahab2]

Hey Porche , need some hardware? ive got some posted in the Buy/Sell/Trade forumDont have o buy it all aflex shaft wouldnt hurt. for your boatAnd its brand new.

[porschefan911]

i would be happy to buy it but my dad and i just spent the whole dayh ,making our own hardware...pain in the ass but we finished...maybe fo rmy next boat

[ahab2]

Heh ohwell does anyone else need hardware it will work for a hydro too.

[Chris LaPanse]

Yes, it meant brushless. As for the nitro comment, I was referring to the last sentence in the post above mine-
"and put iether a brushless systme in it, low turn motor or a nitro engine who noeS?"
That clear anything up?
Good luck with your project. :D




BTW-make sure your ESC is rated for 8 cells before running it. I've fried an ESC before by running 9 cells on one rated for 7.
