This is a great electric rc boat video, check it out-
Neu Motors from fastelectrics.com. Taipan pocket rocket 4S 5AH rigger 1515/1Y (dark blue canopy & white sponsons), Jones 6S 5AH rigger 1521/1.5D(fluro-green sponsons), Wolfe Racing 10S 5AH 2215/1.5Y rigger (green canopy orange sponsons) & Fastlectrics H&M sport hydro 2215/2Y 10S 5AH which jumps the start then breaks a shaft after letting the race go by! Neu Motors are the killer app
they were running from 60mph (100 kph) the 10S sport hydro, to about 75mph (125kph) for 10S rigger. This was 2 years ago. Today the scale hydro runs a touch over 120kph, 4S riggers a little faster the 6S riggers run 135 and a 10S rigger would be hitting over 140+kph on the oval;
About how fast were they going?
very good i like the race vid nice job
No for any sort of boat but especially RC. A model must be 100% water proof and you still need to remove the shaft and lube any metal parts to prevent them jamming. You also need to ensureit is aired well and the electronics are protected from salt and any moisture.
Can you drive brushless boats in the sea, then hose it off?
google proboat and when you go to their site you can see the different models they sell. Or google aquacraft both are very similar companies
Yes it is ok
Use Octura M series prop 45mm diameter to start
Andrew
is neu 1515 2y (1100KV) will be gooh with hydra HV 120 on 8s on 35″ mono?
i find one not expensive
how much is a proboat?? and how fast does the stock version go?
@crabbystick recorded
jax this really depnds on whatyour budget is
Delta Force rtr 23″ mono is the cheapestgood boat I am aware of – you need radio and cells (but these are not expensive). Proboat and Aquacraft monos are good to start with.
hey just wondering i am just about to get a RC boat and wondering which 1 i should get, i would like a boat that goes relatively fast, easy to handle and doesn’t require much matanince
is that a recorded announcement the lap calling or do you have a caller ?
for a first class 4S rigger approx $AU1500 depending on components approx 110kph in oval trim
6S rigger 130kph+ appprox $1700
how fast & how much?
That is correct.
oohh okay, i have another question. the supervee 27 boat runs two 7.2v batteries, does that mean it runs 14.4v on that one motor?
More speed needs more watts
So you more both of voltage & amps is the best way to achieve that
If you want to keep the runtime you will also need more mah
mah is the compacity of the batt you want more volts ^^
i believe its voltage becuase thats the amount of power it dishes out. think of Mah as how much it can hold or run time. look this up incase im wrong
that makes me want one
hey dude, if i want to buy a custom battery to upgrade the boats speed, do i look for higher Mah or higher voltage?
It looks light , in fact it was the heaviest the issue is the angle of attack on the sponsons. It was too steep.
That is a bit like using a too hard pretension on a suspension spring.
It tends to throw the boat about and then it catches more air and it gets out of shape etc
Resolved now runs flat and fast.
i think the one in last was having weight issues… it was too light
and i thought the warmup was fast
