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

[forescott]

Just got the boat today. Looks really nice. like the hardware. Trim tabs are kinda weird. Like a tab and turn fin in one. Anyone interested in the motor/clutch let me know. Its all coming out soon.

I'm gonna try and sell my stuff over at Jims rc boat dock. Lotsa gas guys over there.

i am thinking of doing the same thing but w/ 55 seagad. i know where i can pick one up local at a killer price. almost to good to pass up. so my question is would anybody be intrested in motor pipe and all the gas related equipment and what do you think it is worth(to the right buyer)?

I didn't know if you had seen it. I wish you luck on the hull. I know the hull I'm getting is Carbon fiber/Kevlar, but it's gonna cost me.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye on your sale thread!

I have a Proteus 524 3t and a FC motor mount up for sale. I'll make you a deal if you wanna run them.

I was going to put it in an MHZ Mystic Study its a 56" mono. With the proteus run on 10s and a SF 300Pro+ esc. It would have been right at a solid 50+mph and very reliable. I've switched to a twin Proteus 528's, there just like the Castle 2028. But I'm going twins. I'm going to try and break 75-80mph.

I saw your ad. I want to get the boat in my hands first to see what I'm dealing with. Should have it by friday.

yeah I really like the look of that hull as well
Most Venom hulls are actually very thin and light, the KOS large gasser hull is (too) thin
Also the hatch on the cat breaks apart easily, so might need to enforce the one on the P1 as well

yeah, I have the venom/atomic 55-inch brushless cat. Its pretty thin, but ok for the little outrunner they put in it. Any 56mm motor will need some substantial beefing-up.

Was kinda hoping I could get away with a leopard or proteus motor to save some $$$. Ive seen/heard some guys running leopard 5698's on 10s in similar hulls, but have no idea how reliable they have been. The castle setup seems to be the best quality choice. hmmmm....... Having a hard time letting go of the cash!

you definitely can 750-850kv and 8000-12,000 watts on 10S 4 or 6 pole motor I don't know the nomenclature for the leopards or the proteus motors but the Castle is definitely the bulletproof choice.

the 2028 with a castle 200HV on 10s would get you where you want to go, 50mph reliably shouldn't be an issue depending on the weight though. Don't skimp on batteries, Dinogy is what I recommend..

Hey guys. Against all the advice ive read against the big venom p-1 hull, I decided to pick one up since I love the look of the hull and they are now discontinued. Just bought a new rtr off ebay and am going to convert it to brushless. Aside from doing what I can to strengthen the hull, I am looking at the castle 2028 on 8-10s. Not looking for break-neck speed. I'd be happy with a reliable 50+. However I'm a noob to the HV setups and have been trying to gather information on the best esc that will suit my needs. Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
