1/8 scale miss elam

[Jesse J]

so you are sayin you got a little more space in the hull than the 1/12th scale version? gorgeous... I hear ya about room on your workbench, just wait until we move into a real house with a 2 car garage AND a shop!

What would you run for lipo's in this size boat 4's, 6's or 8's of higher ?.

[calcagno45]

10-12s most likely.

[rchippie]

10-12s most likely.

i thought 6s & maybe a 1515-1y castle/neu .

[Jesse J]

you probably wouldn't get much more than scale speeds with that set up

what would scale speeds be in your opinion ?.

[Rumdog]

The 1515 is much too small of a motor for this hull. I would run the littlescreamers outrunner on 10 or 12s, it will fly!

That would scream!

If i could get decent speed out of a 6s setup . I would be real interested in this .

I dont think so! I was even wondering if my 1527 1y would push her on 8s, hints the "hi-model 200 " thread i started. Most likely will go for a 2215 1.5 or 1y on 8s or 2y on 12 s with the m-2000. I think i like the last set up the best ..?

Thats a bummer i guess i will have to go with the 1/12 scale version . That hull just looks so bad a## .

Im not sure what speeds you want but when they said scale speed thats like 20 mph on the set up you mentioned. This is alot of hull!! Advantages and disadvantages. Smaller= $cheaper but harder to work inside. Kinda like the dif. Between working on a honda accord and a peterbuilt. Ive done both for several years and they both have tgood and bad things...

what kind of setup would it take to get around 30 -35 mph ?.

[wolf IV]

You got me bud? Ive yet to build a boat this size.i would think the 1527 1y on 6s would get you there.. But someone else with more experience with the larger hulls will know more. I like pushing the limits so light set ups arent my specialty :)
