A Slow HPR 115

[m4a1usr]

I'd thinking a pair of Neu motors just because they are easy to get, Castle ESC's and some 4s lipos. I feel lame even asking, but has anyone tried to build a tame HPR?

I dont think you can get a 115 up to a decent speed on 4S. Even into "just" the 50's. Thats a big boy. Needs more power. And 15 plus minutes run time? Thats going to need capacity. What motors do you have in mind?

Hey guys,
I have plenty of boats that for years I have tried to get as fast as possible. Sort of can't believe I'm even going here. But I want to build an electric HPR 115.....but I don't want it stupid fast. Weird. :D

I have a few big gassers, that are definitely fun. But I want a boat that I can take to the lake or pond after work. Something that doesn't involve the bed of my truck, fuel and tools. Little simpler.

But every set up I read on HPR's boats......which are freakin unbelievable quality......are all shoting for 80mph+. That's cool and maybe someday, but for now instead of 80mph and 12 minute run times I'd rather have a solid 50mph and 16-18 minute run times.

I'd thinking a pair of Neu motors just because they are easy to get, Castle ESC's and some 4s lipos. I feel lame even asking, but has anyone tried to build a tame HPR? I use a chair to get around and want to keep the chances of high speed flips to a minimum. Haven't found a raft for my chair yet. :D

Thanks for the info.

Mike
