Traxxas Titan

nope not on a 642. the 1527 1.5d is the 1500kv motor that nate mentioned. that motor is capable of turning some very large props 47mm plus easily.

Meaning it wont do high 50's low 60s.........................????

It will run 50 on a 540XL with a 42x59 prop...............................surely the Neu and a 642 is worth another 10 mph.

my experience with Neus is they like a lot more prop to get the same speed. for some reason they like to be loaded. Example: I ran a 540 9xl (1898kv) on 4s an a 642 and got 45mph with it. I then put my 1521 1.5d (1900kv) motor in and had to run a 445 to get the boat to do the same thing. plus Neus run cooler on bigger props.

besides why would you put a 2000+ watt motor in a 36" hull and only turn a 42 mm prop, along with an HV 180 that the other guy suggested.

read some of these suggestions that Brian Bauss recommends for starting props for that motor.

Thanks for the link, the reasoning behind the 642 was due to the total pitch of 2.640 which is greater than an x447(2.590)......................

I see your reasoning for your statement. Thruth is even though certain setups looks good on paper it doesn't always translate to real world. Bigger hulls (and certain electronics) tend to like bigger diameter props for maximum thrust. Then go up on pitch for more speed.

Thanks! Always something new to learn...........just got my first two Neu's in the past couple months...........1527 and 1515.............Love 'em, run cool and strong!

The boat looks pretty good but it is too expensive for me! They should just make a 50mph villain while they are at it!

Is the motor a 1650KV? I think I saw that somewhere.

for what you get in a RTR, it's on the cheaper end of the spectrum

1600KV

Just a typical XL motor and 1600 KV. Just wanted to know how they are running 6S in that but smaller prop is fine. How long it will last like that is another story.

I have a Castle 1520 1600Kv waiting as a Home Warming gift for my Titan

The VXL Traxxas motors are not to typical
They Rock!
But a nice 1717 on 6s would be sick..!

[BondoBrushless]

The VXL motors certainly aren't of NEU qaulity but def decent.

No aftermarket cooling availible for the 1717 yet ? Poop.
The 1717 is a pulling motor for sure tho, I have one in a Losi XXL running on 6s and it's sick !

No doubt about it - 50 m.p.h. capable boat w/ a 36" hull, combined w/ batteries, 2.4Ghz Tx and a killer looking boat; definitely a good deal to me @ $325.00 shipped!!

[Jacked1]

Where can you get it for that price? I am just saying it is too expensive for me because i am in college and am on the poor side right now lol.

It is cool that is has room for 12cells! leaves room to put in more power! :)
