Who runs an Outrunner in their boats?

[RandyatBBY]

OK, I was catching up on some reading and found where Randy at BBY was running an outrunner in one of his models.

Here's the video link.

And who says you can't use an outrunner for FE boats?

Look in to the BBY Micro Hydro build we were running Out runners in them too. Nothing new just need a little R&D to find the right ones.

Good calls guys. I've used an Align outrunner in the past and it has served me well. I've yet to try any of the Turnigy outrunners, but I've used their inrunners with great success!

I believe you are right about the understated KV rating on the Turnigy. I have a couple 2100kv motors that certainly act like and sound as if they are higher. I haven't had the chance to verify with a logger.

[ray schrauwen]

They should work just fine.

I have one of these two, the higher Kv one is about 4000KV, the longer can is about 3600. These are just a notch under Scorpion motos if not on par for less money that scorp.

Since what you show is in stock it may be more appealing. Price is good too.

Well I have a couple of outrunner's I was going to use in my min hydro. It's 16" long by just over 7" wide. It's from HOTR. Think these will work or should I use something else?

The biggest thing leading me to the outrunners in my next cat is cost. The 63mm littlescreamer is similar in power to 2215-2230 neu for much much less. That makes a big difference in a twin. $300 for a pair of outrunner motors compared to $1300 or more for neu/lehner. Sure it might not be quite as fast but a grand in my pocket will build a few more boats;-)

[ray schrauwen]

Turnigy Typhoon is a nice motor to test for $25, the 36mm one that is.

They make a really nice 28mm one too. Says 3550kv but, its really about 4000kv, about $10.

Going to put the little one in a micro wood rigger and try the 36mm in a DF26 or LSH type boat.

Sold my 4025 Scop because it wasn't the KV I wanted and it wasn't suggested to run more that 6S on it.

Scorpion has Inrunners coming in 2 months :) :)

Ben,

I am running an x430 and that gives me low to mid 20's which is fast enough because I am still trying to get rid of the porposing. I am still working on the COG and modifying the homemade hardware I made for it.
I had been running the x427 I sold you but it was a little small for it.
I have thought about trying a 36mm outrunner in my 32" mono, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

[Meniscus]

Very cool Brad. How are the speeds on that setup and what prop are you using? Have you considered trying in larger models?

Small Outrunner

Ben,

On a small end of the scale I have been running a Mystery D2830 3500KV outrunner on 2S lipo in my MiniV.
It moves it quite nicely, I would guess around 20-23mph, for what seems like forever on a 7.4V 1600mah PolyQuest battery. Everything comes in the same temps it went out with.

I couldn't beat the price, I won the motor and a 30Amp ESC on eBay for $13 shipped from China!
I figured I couldn't pass that deal up.....

Brad

Anyone else running an outrunner in their boats?

[sailr]

Doug, I'll get some pics uploaded here of the factory and crew. Busy today. Maybe tonight!

I manufacture outrunner motors for aircraft. I have been doing it for close to eight years now. QUOTE]

Jim you should take us on a virtual tour of your manufacturing facility. I'm sure we'd all enjoy it.
Interesting thread fellas.

The only place I've seen a reference to the high Kv motor is in a drop menu on an order page at southriverrcboats. Ray asked a major US distributor the question, he has not yet answered.

Thank you! I bought this motor for my 29" 3.8lb Promise hobby Catmaran, same as the orange one in an avatar, just smaller.

I now see Scorpion may have a 1600 KV 4025? [I]s that right???

If so, I want that one more but, it woul be nice to swing a x450

From what I've known only scorpion hk3026 have 1600kv, as I have the hk4020 1390kv, the 4025 maybe have the 1100kv, thats the highest kv if Im not mistaken.
