Ok this is a real dumb question, But how many people are running 1/4" flex with these 63mm motors. Or 3/16"?

if you are running anything on 10s you should be running 1/4 flex...
the prop shaft is a choice between 3/16 (more prop choices) or 1/4 if you
know what you are doing with big props.

Can anyone tell me the shaft length when running these big set ups? I will be making the 1/4" cables with a step down 3/16" stub end and std 1/4" shaft soon. I guess I should know the length as well for most set ups.

These will be silver brazed.

Ub Hauled · #94 03-05-2010, 02:30 PM

Jeff,
I think it will depend on the strut one uses... I use the standard, 1/4 cable w/step down to 3/16
that I got a long time ago, if it still the same it is 4" long (just stub)

This Large Water Jacketed Outrunner was designed for big boats 40-90". It will perform well as a drop in HP replacement for the Weed Eater type gas boats. Designed as a racing motor to run against the gas and will be competing in the racing scene beginning 2010. Testing so far in a 40+ Race hydro we are running 65-68 MPH and completing 7+ laps on 10s. This is very exciting for a low cost alternative motor to be running with the $600 Modified gas motors and the Large Neu inrunners. Testing continues and I will update soon!

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.

Order one from Littlescreamers.com Today

KV650
Shaft 8mm
Watts?? 8,000

Let me just say this, lol. I just got my Little Screamers motor in the mail today, haha, and there is not a damn thing "Little" about this motor! Its going to push around my 1/8th scale hydroplane project like its a joke! It has 8 gauge wires coming out of it! Mike

blackcat26 · #97 03-09-2010, 03:21 PM

Would this be a good choice for a 10th scale hydro? Or is this waaaay too much motor?

cybercrxt · #98 03-09-2010, 03:37 PM

Holy crap, no way to much! This motor is as big as a Coke can!

It is way too much motor for a 1/10 scale.

I am wanting to do a test and see if it can be run on a 3/16 shaft. 3/16 flex are pretty stout might make it. I am going to run one on 8S and see what is will do in a 45 inch cat.

blackcat26 · #**100** 03-09-2010, 08:22 PM

Thanks guys I figured it would not. Guess I was just hoping, since they are a cheaply priced power source.

bvincent · #**101** 03-09-2010, 08:36 PM

Not "cheap" :) "inexpensive"

blackcat26 · #**102** 03-09-2010, 10:07 PM

LoL...Yeah. That's what I meant. This motor makes me want to build a gianourmous boat around it!

justintime2w8 · #**103** 03-09-2010, 10:30 PM

Or an even more gianormous boat around two of them. LOL

bvincent · #**104** 03-09-2010, 10:35 PM

Right on Justin !! I have a surprise for Rad that came in the mail today

"They" will make that Ginormous boat haul booty!!!!!!

bvincent · #**105** 03-09-2010, 10:39 PM

Hey Justin,
I just noticed the website link on your post

You guys are "out" now huh? SWEET!!!!!! Now we can put a link on our site to yours too

justintime2w8 · #**106** 03-09-2010, 10:52 PM

Yup, we figured it was as good a time as any. I can't wait for the Little Screamer/92" test run. Shouldn't be too long now.
I guess you saw your link on our site.

bvincent · #**107** 03-09-2010, 10:54 PM

Sure did

This is going to be a FUN spring and summer!!

sharkbite · #**108** 03-09-2010, 10:55 PM

so will the.... Castle Creations Phoenix ICE HV 160A 50V
work?

bvincent · #**109** 03-09-2010, 10:55 PM

I'm still waiting to see the little boat with our motors in it. It should be faster than it was in the first vid.

justintime2w8 · #**110** 03-09-2010, 11:19 PM

Oh yea, it will be a fun summer for sure.
The 24" should be a ton faster, those in the first video were the junkiest in-runners on the planet, just ran them because they were in hand. One burnt after two runs. You should be thrilled about that, if we get four runs out of yours that would make your motors twice as good. LOL

Littlescreamers · #**111** 03-10-2010, 10:01 AM

Here is a video I did a few years ago with one of the small Littlescreamers Water jacketed Motors.

Hear is the Mono mount I did. It is a little hard to bend the bottom lugs but it will work. Sorry about the blury picture it is packed and ready to mail.

Xfactor · #**113** 03-13-2010, 09:49 AM

Hey I want one of these motors but I question the warranty policy. To me there is no warranty .Re-purchasing something at half price isnt a warranty to me.It pays you for fixing a motor that failed, but thats no warranty. I mean I think you have a killer product but Its hard for me to buy it when "It seems" the maker wants all the loss to fall on my shouders. Notice I said seems. I dont want to get blasted. The scorpion is 4035 is my other option. Id rather buy the little screamer but Id like to see Little Screamers Develop a real warranty thats comparable to the competition. A limited warranty at least on defective materials and workmanship. A warranty that shows little screamers willingness to fully stand behind their product.The current warranty policy implies to me that Little Screamers is worried about taking a loss behind their motors. I can understand that because neither do I.I wish that I could have found a better way to say this because I dont want anyone to think Im hatin on Scott and Little Screamers but lets face it as you get more attention for your product,so too will the scrutiny of product increase.I kinda feel bad because I know everyone is thinking that Im trying to rain on a parade Im not. Im just not rich and this decision has really been bothering me.I finally decided to post this comment and hopefully the guys at Little Screamers will offer me some type of assurance that I wont regret buying this motor.For the record I dont think the motor will fail but admittedly I'm a little worried about that warranty.

Xfactor · #**114** 03-13-2010, 09:52 AM

How many poles and stator arms does this motor have?Randy you got any update on prop selection for this motor?

bvincent · #**115** 03-13-2010, 10:28 AM

Well the warranty does cover free replacement for material and workmanship issues. If you burn it up, it has a 50% cost to replace it. As to you other question, it is a 6 pole motor with 9 stator heads.

Xfactor · #**116** 03-13-2010, 10:37 AM

Thanks B, What would burn it up?Cause I havent seen any numbers without question marks behind them. Whats the max amp draw? Whats the max voltage?What is the stall torque?Whats the idle current? Whats the overall resistance of the motor

Littlescreamers · #**117** 03-13-2010, 10:59 AM

Wow that was a mouth full!

Concerning the Warranty at Littlescreamers.com, All motors have a 2 year Warranty.
free replacement for material and workmanship issues. The Warranty was written that way for replacements. People bash them up, Over amp them, Over prop them, And on and on.

I edited the site to include the text that was forgotten when we built this site. the old site said all this.

I am new to building sites and this one was a chore starting from scratch. Still needs mass work

Xfactor · #**118** 03-13-2010, 11:56 AM

Thank you Scott. I really appreciate your help and the fact that you didnt get offended by my statements.Like I said before I just wanted to have some assurance that If I had a problem with the motor I would get some support. Now that thats out of the way;do you have any in stock? By the way are you hand winding these motors? or are they machine wound?

Littlescreamers · #**119** 03-13-2010, 12:53 PM

No problem!

As for a motor? Please buy one from OffShoreElectrics.com as they are now carrying them.

Thanks
Scott
