Twin Motor Mono Question

[sundog]

60-70MPH would be fine!

I bet!! Yes, Jesse J. was considering staggering the motors to get the stuffing tubes as close together as possible and encountered an interesting sympathetic 'assistance' phenomena http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ighlight=jesse. Quite interesting - might even use less amps or get more torque because of it.

pros: very cool, motors/esc working half as hard, you have a back up in case one motor/esc/driveline/prop fail, that sweet sound of double power, no torque roll

cons: more batteries, twice the wires, twice the maintenance, limited by sizes of CR props, a lot of cash gets dumped in.

I think the twin 1717's would get it done real nice!
not sure of the speeds your looking for, but it should be fast

If you mean surface drive, wouldn't one prop be out of the water when it heels over in turns? That might be hard on the esc, methinks!

Maybe not! Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl6Yg...eature=related

I think as long as the drives are mounted close together the props should stay in the water I would think?

What's some pro and con's on having a twin powered large mono? Thinking a 47" Promise hobby deep V with either 2 Leopard 5692 1090kv W/ Castle HV ESC's or on a budget 2 Castle 1717 1580kv W/T-180A. ESC's.
