feiago 580L

[Flying Scotsman]

Has anyone run a Hydra 240 on a 6L or 7L yet, what results? can it even take these amps?

Boat, prop, batteries etc you have to be specific

28-30" hull, x642, on 8s lipos 35C. Will this motor hold up, or be comparable to a Neu? Thx

That set-up sounds like overkill to me! 8S in a 28-30" hull with a huge 580 motor is waaaaay too much IMO. Rather look at a 36-40" hull...

i guess the main question is will the motor hold up to this setup? i have been thininking of getting a neu but am interested to try on of these.

On 8s lipo power I would suggest a 580 12L.

A 580 6L motor likes to run a 120 amps. 120amps x 30 approx volts = 3600 watts. I know I'm kind of simplifying the numbers. But its just to show that it wont work.

Is that a high voltage Castle ESC, what does 28" to 30" hull mean ...have you bought the boat and if so what design , you stated a hull on your original thread is that the hull?

Thx Steve

its a regular 240, for a titan 29.

I give up EDIT sorry Ken you were not the original poster...that motor is not suited to that hull a 9XL will be fine dependant on your aspirations

I suggest 4s for a hydra 240 and your setup. I would suggest 540 8xl, 540 9xl or 540 10xl. Or if you really want a 580L, I would suggest a 580 6L or 580 7L. Both motors on 4s lipo.

On 8s thats 60k rpm at the prop. Please dont run that. If you do, prepare well for the

Ken, I've run my Titan 33 for quite some time with a 9XL [ Hydra LV 240/4S2P
/X442] and it ran low 50's. [ go to Youtube-search : Tony's Aeromarine..] Know that these hulls WILL get airborne in the 50's no matter what; those with these hulls - also the 33" Titan will confirm this. A 9XL will do just fine with a 120-150 amp SC, but the higher capacity you choose will give more headroom/safety. I'm liking the 580 can motors; you can't go wrong with one of those either. Keep the RPM's up, the prop no bigger than a 442, the motor in back and the batt's on the keel to avoid chine-walk. BTW I've since converted the boat to a Spec LSO with a SV-27 motor and soon a UL-1 motor ; ran it at the last NAMBA Nat's. like that ; even ran it in P-Offshore until a big bad P-Mono/Offshore monster creamed it in a turn-[ patched it up with Bondo & made the next heat ! ]
