Build pics of my Aeromarine Titan 33

don't worry bro, we are here for ya!

Thanks Jesse! Well the NEU is on it's way! Along with the appropriate alloy water jacket, and the 40mm water cooled mount to be retrofit one way or another.
Sure hope this along with the longer stub shaft is the answer....

if you have never owned a genuine neu motor you will be verry happy. there is no comparison in quality. keep the post going and everyone here will help you untill everything is sorted out. when i first started fe i knew nothing. now i would consider myself intermidiate to advanced and everything i learned was from the great friends of OSE forums. if you have questions ASK! there is a 95% chance that someone here has experienced similar problems. good luck and watch for my new mono build. i just got a rico 31" today and have everything to assemble it waiting in a box. i am building another rigger right now so as paint is curing i will be starting this one...

I can't wait to check out the Neu 1521. Thanks again, sooner or later I'll get this stuff figured out. I decided to add a 2nd pick-up and outlet for added cooling in the new setup. It's an octura streamlined water pickup that I mounted on a bracket instead of in the bottom of the hull. Here are some pics.


Hopefully it will flow a lot of water. I'm thinking it might pull in more water than the rudder. Not sure...

Yep neus are definitely worth the money. Chuck is right. Everybody starts somewhere. I've learned everything from this forum as there really only me that runs fE here.

I personally do not like that style of pickups. The rudder should be plenty enough.

Oh, and I can't wait to check out the Rico build Chuck. I wanted one of those, but ened up with the titan.

well check out mopars, mine will be almost the exact boat... only GREEN!!
1521 1.5d, cc240 i cant wait to get started on her.

Sweet lookin boat bud!! like the color..

Ya....I wasn't too sure on the pickup either, but I had a pretty weak stream coming from the outlet after going through the ESC, motor jacket, and motor mount. Plus...I'm all nervous about heat after cooking 3 motors. IDk... it seems like this pickup will flow more water than those vertical brass tube piece styles since it has a scoop to it.

That's gonna be sweet. Especially in GREEN!
Speaking of green if you know anyone who wants a GREEN losi comp crawler rock crawler, mine is on ebay now to fund the new boat parts...ha.

Thanks! I'll finish the paint/decals as soon as the boat is mechanically sound. Still haven't decided exactly how I'm gonna finish it off.....

My newer Titan 40 runs a Neu 1521/1.5D, Hydra240LV and an x450 on 4S2P. The setup is dead reliable, another club member runs the same boat/setup, several others the same setup in different monos. Lots of fun and all the speed the hull can handle. The boat runs mid-50s and is as far out of the water as I want for a race boat - running on the back 4" with no chine walk. I had to add over a pound of lead to keep it on the water, the Titans all catch a lot of air.

Man, if I didn't have all this money into 3s packs I'd probably just copy your setup. An x450 is about 50mm right? It says 1.97". Do you think with 6s and the Neu 1521 1050kv, I'd wana run a similar prop? I was thinking closer to 45mm would be safe. I was running 42mm when my other motors cooked, but I don't think prop was the issue. Performance was ok with a 42, but not great by any means. These were 2 blade carbon graupners though. Maybe I should stick with these graupners for now to test temps once I get the boat running again? Mid 50s on 4s eh? Well I'm not sure why I thought I needed 6s then, but oh well. Should be fun! Unless it burns up......

Don't beat yourself up on your setup versus mine. The model really can't handle more than 50-55 without stability issues in race water, and I went 4S for the class I race the boat in. If I wanted a sport boat I would probably have gone 6S.

Running 6S makes a lot of sense. For the same speed you need the same power, so with 6S you only need 2/3 the amps of a 4S setup, meaning milder all around, less stress on ESC and cells and longer run times. As long as you don't try to exceed 50/55 mph you are the winner here.

I'm not certain on the best match for a 6S motor. The Neu 1520/1050 Kv motor may be a bit too mild, probably in the low-mid 40s with an x450 (yes, it's a 50mm diameter prop). A motor with 1250 Kv would be a better match I think for speeds in the high 40s/low 50s.

Ya, lower stress on everything is good, especially if I wana get away from what has been going on so far...ha. Ya I was wondering about that low of a kv. Hopefully it works out ok. More torque in that kv should make it jump when I hit the throttle hopefully...even though not reaching as high a top speed? Can that low kv ( I already ordered the 1521 1050kv) be made up for at all by a different prop, or not so much? I just wanted to stay on the conservative side for longevity of components. Maybe my previous motors having a 3 to 4 minute service life made my overly cautious??? We'll see I guess...

An x648 prop can help make up some of the difference with the 1521 motor, especially if it is pitched up a bit. More than 50mm diameter might cause handling problems, I've never used more on my hull.

Darn, now I'm starting to worry the 1050kv motor is gonna be too slow. Hope it's fast enough to not be boring. Mid 40s would be ok. It is usually choppy around here anyway...
