motor suggstion for Titan 29

[Joe Friars]

Hey all; I have been colecting parts for an aeromarine titan 29 build.
I've come across people using 8xl-10xl. and running 4s-6s. I understand that by runnng 6s, I would have a lower amp draw,but.....
I would appreciate our opoinions/recomendations. I am looking for most reliable setup and best speed without overpowering the hull.
Thanks
Joe

What kinda money you want to spend, Feigao $$$ or Neu $$$.

The prop is the real answer to your question and what is most important to you...speed....reliability...run time?

I am looking at Fiego $$$.
As for prop size I am thinking x440-442/640-642.
As for what I want I would have to say, Speed, but not crazy too much for the hull no fun speed. then reliability and run time.
thanks
Joe

Simple and to the point.

Titan 29 ; 9XL/4S2P Neu 4100's, X442 ; get's a little hairy over 50 mph.

Moving motor rearward & putting batts on keel line improved handling, BTW

I now run a BJ 1500 KV motor with Turnigy 4S2P 3600's , UL-1 SC , hub cut X442 for LSO [ 4.5 min] with a cooling fan & really like it for a low-buck fun runner. Mid/High 30's. More prop, likely @ 40 mph.

Cool vid. Thanks for the motor mounting tip. I was thinking of going in that direction. Do you have a picture of your setup inside the hull?

10 XL, 4s2P, M545, Etti 150. Low 40's. Cool, fun & reliable. Plenty fast for that hull.

I have this set up in my two sons Titan 29 and Mean Machine.

I started out with a 10XL ; less heat, more runtime = more fun.

Here 'ya go [ with the 9XL or 10XL move batt's forward @ 1.5" {this is my LSO setup}

Interesting answers..I do not own a Titan 29 but I do own a DF 29 and my speed setup is as I stated for that hull and I do agree that for less heat etc. a 10XL or similar motor is a better choice.

What's a good CG on this hull?

What's a good CG on this hull?

Todd, there's no easy answer to this. Factors to consider : distance of transom - to - prop { I use a shortened Speedmaster stinger}, prop lift, type of water, e.g sticky glass, small chop, racewater; aerodynamic hull lift ( the T29 gets airborne much over 50 mph) and so on. Confused already ? Test & tune each boat will reveal the answer !

Ok, after seeing the picture of your T29, I got worried because my batteries are about 3-4" forward of yours..
