56-1nch Venom P-1 gas to brushless question

[Doby]

Just a thought, but why not just move the motor closer to the stuffing tube, rather than extending it?

[lenny]

The hardest part is going to be extending and supporting the stuffing tube extension,

Hey,
Just put a outer tube over the inner tubes about 1 1/2" to tie them together and epoxy it.

Got a chance to work on the p-1 a little today. 2028 mounted up to the rail mount from southriverrc.com. Turns out the stock flex shaft is kinda weird. 1/4 inch flex into 1/4 inch prop shaft with 5mm step down, and the stinger has 5mm bearings. Same setup as the little p-1 but bigger. i think I,m gonna use the stock shaft and try opening up some 3/16 props to 5mm.(not much of a difference) also the rear motor mount holes line up perfectly with the stock gas mount holes!

i have a swordfish 300 coming tomorrow from OSE that I think will mount nicely right in front of the motor where the stock gas tank was.(I'm using the castle ice 200 in another hull for now)This is turning to be a pretty simple conversion. The hardest part is going to be extending and supporting the stuffing tube extension, and building some battery trays.

Just found this on youtube. Pretty much what I'm looking for.

This Fountain KOS is not very fast, Have a look to this 58" deep vee twin setup with two 4092, 8S on each motor

[lenny]

Yes Scott,
Just sent you a pm.

[forescott]

Its actually a fine design build. I think 5692 motor set up for 10s, but they call their motors nemesis gold, and I'm not sure of the esc. I got mine on ebay. Just found a new one at towerhobbies in the scratch and dent section with box damage only for $720. If you have super saver club membership you can save an additional 50-105 bucks and free shipping.

Hey I sent you 2-pms regarding the parts. Do you still want em??

[lenny]

Hey that looks pretty good Scott,
Dose he say what motor he is running and on what S cells ?
It sound a little ruff in the drive I think,
May be some binding on the flex shaft.
Where do you find your boat at for sale ?

Hey Scott,
That sound pretty good to me,
You are going FE with it right ?
What else will you be not using that is in it ?
Gas tank anything else ?
Let me know and we can make a package deal on the stuff I think.

Yup, gonna run the castle 2028 and ice 200hv on 10s.
I would throw the gas tank and kill switch too, keeping the radio box and servos, transom hardware and propshaft/flex.

I' ve got a 50'' Fountain P1 hull, I would like a twin setup, it' s not easy to find the right setup

[forescott]

How much are we talking for the motor and stuff you are pulling out ?
I may have a use for them,
Any idea on how much run time on the motor ?

This is a brand new boat. The motor has never been fired. Im thinking $120 shipped for the complete motor, mounts, clutch, tuned pipe.

I had the same turn and trim tab on my 35"p1,
I just hammered them flat and flip flop them from side to side added real turn fins and modded the rudder to be offset.
