aeromarine titan 29

[Jcarlton]

is anyone selling a aeromarine titan 29 boat without the electronics and esc,and motor ?
i just need a hull ready with struts , drivetrain , motor mount ect. thanx for your time!!!:D

[Doug Smock]

Yes sir, right here at OSE!! http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/products.php?cat=9
Great boat by the way.

[Jcarlton]

yeah but i was hoping someone would have one laying around they don't use anymore. got all the electronics just need a great boat hull thats prepped for me !!
that titan 29 pops !! this will be my fourth boat!! love the hobby started out in boating but have been into nitro trucks and electric trucks.

[lferguson]

The Titan was my first build and I LOVE it. The Titan was a FUN and EASY build (both times). Do your self a favor and buy one new and BUILD IT!!!! You won't regret it, I promise.

I'll second that!!!;)

OSE does sell the Toysport - Triton, Syncron and Jolly Cat with the hardware already installed.

With 4 boats..It's about time you build one on your own. I agree...go for it!!

[properchopper]

I'm running a Titan 29 [which I picked up used] ; it's GREAT !! With a 9XL, 12 cells, M445 it screams & corners like it's on rails. Go for it ! :)

[Doug Smock]

Here is mine.
I like it so much, I bought another one just in case, (for when) something happens to this one.:)

There are alot of people here who would be glad to send you some setup pics.;)

[Jcarlton]

its gonna cost me !!! how hard has it to install the drive hardware , motor mounts , and servo mount ? id like to have one but fine design wants 1,250 for one with the motor and esc !!dont need all that just a good plat form . might have to start from scratch with a bare hull !! i guess you guys will assist & educate me . just getting in the hobby i have a sw 26, villain ex im modding out , and a graupner b-24 ill get monday , but i want to put that brushless in a good boat!!

[lferguson]

It woll cost you but it will come out probably about the same as buying one right out. IMO, Don't buy a FDM Titan. I tell you this because my original Titan was built by my but exactly like the FDM setups. It ran well, about 28 - 31. I saw another one run that has my exact motor and it was twice the boat the FDM set up was. Look at my album on the OSE Gallery.. Better yet look here http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/showthread.php?t=37


Post #19 and #21 That is before and after of my Titan.

The Titan was my FIRST scratch build of ANY RC anything. It's not that hard once you start.

D.Smock is right, plenty of folks here have pics of there Titan builds so you will have plenty of resources. Heck I even have pics of some guys Titan (some wierd guy ;) ) I took w/a tape measure that shows exactly were everything should go.

[Jcarlton]

cool ill look into it !! ive got all my electronics and my brushless motor & esc . just want a damn fast boat!!!

There you go. What do you have for a motor and esc??

most nerve wracking bit for me is drilling the hole for the stuffing tube(with bending it a close 2nd). everything else was pretty much straight forward, and if you have an example to work from...also fairly easy.

[lferguson]

I will second that.. My Titan sat on my table for a good two weeks before I did anything to it. The first thing I did was drill the hole. The vendor I bought it from said that was what I should always do first. I was soooo intimidated by drilling that hole. You only get one chance (or so I thought). That was honestly the scariest part, the rest was pure fun. Turns out I drilled the hole wrong though and I have since redone it.

[SJFE]

You know the same thing used to terrify me. Drillin a hole in a perfectly good boat...Now after a few boats...I get to cuttin and hackin...don't even think twice. You know what I learned real quick???? Glass, epoxy and some paint will heal 99% of all wounds.

I'm also interested in building up an Aeromarine Titan 29.

I'm just getting into RC boats. (I have a decent amount of experience with RC cars, and I just completed a brushless conversion of a Losi 8IGHT.) The Titan would be my first boat project. An earlier poster in this thread mentioned that several of you might be willing to post photos of your setups. I would be very interested in seeing them, so I humbly request that you post them to this thread.

Also, since I'm new to boats, I'd love to see information on your setups: batteries, ESCs, motors, and especially props.

Thank you in advance for any information you can give me.

Skeeler,
read this (http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/showthread.php?t=271), this is the FE bible!

[skeeler]

ED66677,

Thanks for the link. I did indeed read that. I also saved it to my hard drive and printed it out. It certainly does have a lot of information in one place.

Still, I'd appreciate it if anyone with a Titan 29 would post photos of their setup. Thanks.

[adreher]

I have had my titan for a couple months now. I just painted it a few weeks ago. I love the boat. Handles great and is very fast. All I have right now is some pics of the paint, I will get some pics up the next day or so of the whole set up.

Skeeler,
This was when I first set the boat up with a Lehner 1940 9 to run on 18 cells.

[Doug Smock]

This is what I have today.
Neu 1515 1y with a Castle B-125 and 4s2p LiPo., X640 prop. I could push it harder but there is no need to.;)

This boat is a BLAST.:D

Good luck with your build?

adreher and D.Smock,

Thanks for the photos.

D.Smock,

I am considering using a Neu 1515 on 4s LiPo. I run a Neu 1512 2.5D on 4s LiPo in my brushless 1/8 buggy and like that combo a lot.) Thus, I find your post particularly helpful. I must admit that I still find props a bit of a mystery, so it's good to have an example of one that would work with the 1515. Do you have any trouble running the 4-pole Neu with the Castle ESC, which I believe is only designed for 2-pole motors? I know some people run Castle ESCs in Neu-powered cars, but there can be cogging issues. I can imagine that wouldn't be as much of an issue in a boat. Is that the Speedmaster rudder and strut you are using?

Other Titan 29 owners,

I'd love to see more photos and component lists.

I haven't had a single problem with any of the Castle controls with the updated firmware, Nemisis, Feigao, and Neu.motors.
Yes it is a Speedmaster strut and rudder. I just extended the rudder bracket out so that the leading edge of the rudder is even with the drive dog.

Doug,

Thanks for your reply.

I just noticed that you are in Atlanta. I lived there through high school, and I returned to get my graduate degrees at Georgia Tech. Small world.

Yes it is.
Get that boat built and come back for a visit. We'll go throw a few gallons of water in the air. LoL

Anyone else have a Titan 29 setup to share?

[adreher]

Ok, here are some close up pics of my set up. I did not build this boat, but it is very well done.

adreher ,

Thanks for posting those photos.

Doug,

Could you tell me what material you used for the stuffing-tube brace and for the plate to which you screwed the motor-mount? Also, what adhesive did you use to attach it to the hull?

[SJFE]

There are 2 of them on ebay right now for under 70 bucks. Go have a look.

Sure, I used 1/8" ply for the brace and secured it and the motor mount with epoxy. The motor mount is from Phil at Vac-U-Boat. See Pic. I use them on just about everything but the LSH.
