Ultra fast electric options

[hyrulejedi86]

I was looking through the hulls here on OSE and started thinking it would be awesome if I could build a very fast electric boat sometime but just not yet. I want to start planning it though.

So here is my question:

While keeping things reasonably priced (not $500 hulls) what would be a couple examples of good hulls to use for this application? I was thinking 65-75mph range.

What kinds of hulls, specific examples, sizes etc? I welcome all good information for my panning purposes.

Cheers!

JAE outriggers are one boat to look at.

Do you want a SAW type rig, or one that will run well in an oval?

Insane FE 30 will get you into the low 60's without to much trouble and at a reasonable price.

[hyrulejedi86]

Hmmmm, I was thinking something that will allow you to run in an oval.

Good suggestions so far! Just based on what's been said and what I said would a feigao xl size be required or the even bigger size one? I just mention feiago because I like those motors.

[Rumdog]

Not a Feigao. Not to run the speeds you want reliably. What kind of budget are we talking here, total?

Feigaos run decent,but are two pole.Go to lightflightrc.com and look at the Arc motors.They are 4 pole and are very dependable and if the motor ever quits working for any reason,you send it back to them and give them $35,and they send you a new motor.You can run a motor mount screw too far into it and do the above and youll still get a new replacement.Leopards are good running motors too.I just ran mine and am very impressed.For hulls,if you like cats,FighterCat57 is having cats made that might be worth a look too.They arent MHZ or H&M,but they might suit your needs.Obviously,a rigger or hydro will turn a lot better.Just go with what you like and what will suit your needs.

I tried to link this www.lightflightrc.com. Maybe itll work this time.

[hyrulejedi86]

Well, as for budget since this is only planning I don't have one. If nothing else I want to know what it really takes to hit those speeds. To learn how to make a good boat and what to look for.

THE best hull I've ever owned is the Aeromarine Sprintcat .40. It is a 34.5" cat. It will eat up the chop, and make WOT turns at 60 plus mph. It will hit low 60's with a 1527 on 6s. You could also use an outrunner to save some cash, or a castle/Neu 1717 would do pretty well. The hulls are in the 250 range I believe.

[Rumdog]

It WILL turn as good or better than most hydros or riggers, and in both directions!

[hyrulejedi86]

I will definitely take a look a the hulls tomorrow after I get out of clinic and the arc motors look really nice but I couldn't find watt rating or a voltage rating or an amp rating. Maybe I just missed it but I didn't see those stats.

Vid of mine running twin 1515's. Just so you can see how they handle big speed! http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ad.php?t=14659
