1527 1y ina 1/8 hydro?

[wolf IV]

i have a 1527 1y and tons of 4's packs30-50c rated . i was wondering if this motor on 8s 2p would get a 1/8 proboat up and going? if so what kinda amp draw should i exspect and speeds?

[wolf IV]

Please guys, i want to start this build. I just need to know if what i already have will be sufficient for what speeds i wanna see. Or will i (have to) to go with a larger ,lower kv motor w/ more voltage .

The 1527/1Y would be a little too hot for an 8th scale... usually folks use the 1527/1.5Y on 10s
the 1527/2D would be extremely hot already on 8s anything beyond that would be ESC hell.
You wanna keep your RPMs in the 25-30k so amps would be manageable.
my 2cents

Thanks ub hauled. I ran this motor on 8's with a power jazz 63 and it was great! I just wasnt sure an 8th scale would be too much hull for the motor.. I have a 200 amp esc for it?any one else? What kind SPEEDS WOULD I SEE AND AMP DRAW WITH THIS SET UP?

I know a lot of guys run that motor on 6s2p in 34" Aeromarine sprintcats. They are pretty heavy cats. They run low to mid sixties on 6s2p and 50mm plus props.

thanks, this guys a foot bigger though..?hmmm...

Why not go with the littlescreamers outrunner on 10 or 12s?

[wolf IV]

I already have this stuff sitting here... I know of a ton of other set ups, but would like to know if this will work. What kinda amps & speeds..MORE INPUT NEEDED!!!

[wolf IV]

no one else??? WOW.........

[Fluid]

no one else??? WOW.........

Wow, if we agree with what the others have already posted, why post again? Besides, you have already decided that the motor works fine on 8S (good luck with that!) so why do you want others to tell you it is a bad idea? :spy:

[wolf IV]

"others" am i missing someone? ummmm... i didnt know others felt thats the case unless stated by others.... sense when does two guys speek for an entire forum? just asking and trying to get as much input before i spend hundreds no thousands more on stuff i may not need... 8s on a 1527 1y is no big deal, my concern is in a larger hull as specified. so can you figure my amp draw and speeds as i originally asked?

Why post again. Because there are more people in this world MR Fluid that know boats, like WOLF said MORE INFORMATION BEFORE HE GOES AND SPENDS BIG BUCKS.

Well, how many guys do you think there are running 1/8 scale? Not many in reality. Maybe a dozen coast to coast and not all of them share here.

I wouldn't run the 1y on 8s unless it was in a rigger. That's just me. I won at the nats with that motor on 6s but not in an 1/8th scale. Why not throw the the ProBoat away and get a better hull for 6s? That ProBoat is never going to perform well enough to keep that motor from baking a speedo or some cells.

I'll add to what Jay said. Its not going to work. I watched Bill M. burn up 2 1527 1.5y motors on 10s in a cat. You think your 1y motor is going to do better in a heavier hydro. How many people will it take to convince you? I think you should start asking the question what motor will work. If your looking to get off cheap I would suggest the littlescreamer motor Steven has for sale now. You could probably sell the 1y for the price of the LS motor.

The Pro boat was made to run slow on gas. I watched a pro boat that was made in to a nitro boat and it ran good at the slower speeds and when it got some air under it from the wind at top end there was nothing to fix when it hit the water. If you make this in to a FE you better add some glass if you want it to last. That is why I got a 1/8 kit not a pro boat. Not sure but I was told you can't run pro poats in scale class as they are not scale. just my 2 cents. like I said when that pro boat hit the water there was nothing left. I am going to run mine on 8s and a scorpin motor.

Obviously you guys haven't seen Randy from BBY's proboat. It flies! And it's stable.

Not saying it want fly. just saying when it hit the water there was nothing left. I looked at Randys post on his 1/8 and he did some glass work to his.

thanks guys, I'm not sure why the criticism on wanting more feed back, but oh well... i think i can get her to sit at high speeds, i know it can be done w/ some time and money.. ill probably go with a 2215, just didn't want to fork out the cash... as for the lil screemer , im not ready to put money down on a motor that hasn't been on the market long, plus i don't, or should say haven't ran outrunners in my boats..yet ;) only my planes, and edf's.. anyways, if you knew of my other boat threads you would see that i ALWAYS reinforce my hulls, bulk heads, and cf to the max!!! i dont have the time to race, but love having my knees knock so i build all my boats for "sport" only... thank you everyone for your input! and as for throwing it away... not gonna happen.

[Ub Hauled]

Wolf, just as a final advice... stick with motors with 1000kv or lower, that is a lot already...
good luck and keep us posted with your progress

[wolf IV]

I was looking at a 2215 2y 750 kv

I have experance with that motor and the pro boat. The pro boat is a big boat and pulls a lot of amps launching. It is big and heavy. you will rip up ESC unless you run it like a SAW boat and then I am not sure what would happen. I use V9 props and start small. I have still ate a lot of ESC testing.
I have had a 1527 1.5Y in my 16 pound 1973 Miss Bud thast has 4 pounds of lead in it to stay on the water. The 1527 1.5Y was a rocket in that boat in oval trim. but it did not eat the ESC.
I have ran the 1527 1Y on 5S2P in a 36 inch War eagle and got third at the Nats. If I had the 6S2P packs to run it, it would have been a blast. Doug T admited that it wes the best setup for a 6S class (Q) Hydro.
