Littlescreamers 63mmwater jacketed Motor

[Gerwin Brommer]

Does Littlescreamer have a motor for 6S ?
Power/kv range -wise as a substitute for a lehner 2240/8 or Plettenberg 220/50
or a Feigao 580L ????????????

So how NOT to get into FE boats...

Well, I bought one of these a guy had for sale, along with a Turnigy 200A Monster ESC. I then bought a hull off ebay (37" Aeromarine Shadow Sport 40), thinking I would put this motor into it so as to have something that would rip up the water. THEN I find this thread and realize that's not going to happen...

So I now have a system that either needs a new hull or a new owner. First thought is to get a hull. As I am looking more for personal fun than to be competitive (that may come later), just what is out there that would be a decent fit for this monster? I am looking for a hydro just because I like the looks, but if that's not really practical, then a deep vee or a cat would be considered. My first thought was a Dumas Circus kit, but reading about it indicated it would be a heavy boat and also at 42" still a bit small for this motor. In trying to find something else, I came across the Aeromarine Sport X (a 50" hull)--would this be a reasonable fit? Open to all suggestions, understanding my wallet does have its limits--or if someone really wants a new motor with nipples fitted and a Turnigy Monster ESC, pm me--open to trades as well. But not ready to post it in the Swap Shop just yet--holding this thing in your hand just begs you to put in a hull and see what you can get out of it

Thanks...Pete M

Pete, throw the motor in an 8th scale... just my 2 cents.

[pmisuinas]

strange because there is two or three builds I know of that are doing just this (putting Little Screamer motor in 1/8 builds)..

Any feedback yet on how those are going? I have heard both sides here, "don't put it in 1/8 hull" and "it should go great". Any actual runs yet to settle the question? It would be nice to have a scale hull but if 42" is going to be too small for this motor, would just as soon get something a bit larger.

Maybe the way to go with this motor is a 55" mono to get exciting performance? Thanks...

We will find out sooner than later Cuz mine is ordered and its going in my circus scale on 12s.It should fit no biggie. A circus has more room under that f16 canopy than say an atlas. The rails are 5 inches and the motors diameter is only about 2.5 inches. What would be the problem? I dont think weight is all that much of a deal a pound difference between that and a scorpion 4035. Personally I was hoping for a higher kv scorpion 5035 series outrunner.I was trying to wait for the higher kv screamer but it was taking to long. Watch ,It will come out tommorrow now that I bought the 650 kv one.I dont know why someone doesnt just run the thing a 12s and open it up? Whats the point of the extra power if you not gonna tap into it?

One thing to remember. Mr. Joye told me that the screamer motor would not be legal in a sanctioned scale event. In essence putting this motor in will make it a sport hydro.I definately plan to push the motor;why play around?

I think this motor would be fine in an 1/8 scale. On my 44" sport hydro I get 52 to 55 mph on 10s. I think you could get 60 mph on 12s. This motor seems to like a 460 prop. I ran mine on 12s but the castle controller doesn't like to give me full throttle. There is video of mine on 12s Joe took when I ran at his house last Monday.

Is this the video of Randy's hydro running the littlescreamer?

No that is not a littlescreamer motor.

Look at randy proboat build to see his proboat run with a screamer

[Ub Hauled]

I'd listen to Mark,
a 55" boat with the LTL Scrmr would not work.

These pictures are from the 55" Deep Vee I am doing a conversion on. I started with a new hull (Snagged from the LHS for $50 new in the box) and then bought all new Proboat hardware, I am waiting on an ESC and then I will finish this project. I am very excited to see this thing scream across the lake with the new power system.

Any update on this project? I have the submission above saying it won't work, although it is attributed to Mark, I was unable to find anywhere Mark made this statement. However, I always prefer actual results to theory

Mark, appreciate your input this motor would do well in a 42" hydro, that certainly opens up the options. Thanks again for your input

I just cant wait till mine gets here. Who makes a 14 s controller?

[K.R.Joye]

Wait a minute, that motor would be legal in NAMBA SCALE competition if you keep it 10S or under. IMPBA has motors specified for 10S FE SCALE competion. As always consult the rulebooks before you open your wallet.

BTW I think the Aero Marine Sport X would be a perfect match for the Screamer.
