Yeah I have the same motor, it's a turnigy 2700 and in this boat i don't even run water cooling ,mostly cuz I dot have enough water line, but cuz on 3s it doesn't get warm what so ever and the esc is cooler after a run than it is when I start it

My prop bites good 52/50 I think, it's a nice prop on my setup. I want to see some people using other props too so I can see what I can use

thanks Mason,

I am now leaning towards a 3S setup, all my R/C gear is using 3S, so it's just easier to continue down that path
I saw that combo too, seems pretty good to me, got a similar motor going into my Jet Sprint, so I'll see what the quality is like
I've been really happy with the Seaking motors so far, they seem to take a lot of punishment

OK!

[masonis1]

I saw a combo on eBay with a 2700 kv and a 120a esc for 65 bucks

[seehuusen]

hell yeah, those holes would cause quite a drag I reckon

What do you think about motor size, some people go smaller than what you did...
I found a 3200KV 2860 sized motor, which should do the job in theory... I'm just wondering if the size of the motor and thus extra power is required/ utilized?

[masonis1]

Looks good bud. Make sure you fill those holes good.

hahaha, OK OK OK :D
I started a new thread, only to realize it was on RC Universe I had done it... do'h :p

I could start one here as well, but didn't want to spam Nutbar's thread

Lets see some pics!!!!

Hey Mason,

I've already pulled the boat down :D (and even sanded it as well!!)
I'm thinking those two toy motors, might end up in a little cheap as chips hydrofoil :D

Damfurst already posted a vid up of the boat on 2S and 3S: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVCHi...ature=youtu.be

Cheers
